Happiness

Sometimes you reach a point in life where you hear so much, you feel so much and its all so much that you stop. Just stop in your tracks and wonder how lucky you are. 

I've had the honour of having friends from many generations. I played cards with a 7 year old today, she slipped in that she saw me last weekend in Southall eating jalebi. I stopped the game to ask her why she didnt say hello, her response shocked me "you looked happy, i like seeing you happy". What a brilliant answer. Who isnt happy with a bag full of hot jalebi and a friend? 

Before I met my little friend i spent some time with a colleague, he's an uncle age, in the middle of my day the beginning of his (he's from philly) he took time to explain and sort my problems out. He owes me nothing but he took time out of his schedule to ensure i was ok. After 67 minutes of making sure i was well advised he ended the call saying "i just want to see you happy, im sure thats all anyone wants for you". 

Just now i chatted to my nanimas friend, now my friend who told me "hearing you be happy is all i need to be happy". 

Different generations, worlds apart. Not related. But people that care. Just about me. I said this out loud yesterday, so i'll repeat it here. Sometimes you see the planning of your God. You see how He sends you what you need and who you need. Without asking. I'm blessed because in my world there are people who care, love and even wish me happiness. 

I'm blessed to have friends in generations, cultures and worlds that may never mix, but will always be my gifts from Him :) Alhamdulillah.
