With age and as we get older, we acquire different ways of forming ideas and perspectives. Our vision of things; no matter how simple they are; changes in one way or another after the experience we obtain. Normally, when I clean fruits such as berries, strawberries and grapes, or even vegetables, such as tomatoes, I always thank God for His grace and generosity on us. But one day; during my cleaning of the fruit and of course my thanks and praise to God; I felt tired as I cleane them one by one, and in order not to feel bored or tired I convinced myself that no matter how long the cleaning time is, I will definitely finish this work sooner or later, so why do I not have fun doing the work so that time passes smoothly and easily?
While cleaning fruits, I separate them, so I choose the extremely ripe and mellow ones to make jam while I use excellent ripe in preparing juices. For the wholesome and highly flavored ones, I offer them to decorate the cakes and dessert. The strange thing is that I am indifferent to myself if I desire to eat a fruit on my own. Actually, I love my family members, and I do not feel the taste of something without them!
I don't know why I linked this process to the reality of my life?! Why do I forbid myself to enjoy even a simple thing? And why don't I separate a bad memory and get rid of it permanently, why should I keep it as if it's forgotten? And why do not I make beautiful memories of myself as I do wish them not as others wish them?
Oops! Time went by quickly while cleaning the fruits, while I thought deeply, and while I was absent-minded! Uh! Do the days of life and the time that we live expire so quickly when we dive into the sea of deep thinking of yesterday, today and tomorrow? Oh! Why do we not quickly realize the danger that the days pass without proper exploitation? Why do we not enjoy ourselves without making a mistake, hurting someone or committing a sin?
I will review myself, perhaps... it is not too late.

Very touching words, I'm sure you are a perfect wonderful mother
I wish I am.
By the way, It has already happened, and I really felt that it is my responsibility to share it with you all here. We need to evaluate our experiences and start thinking in a new way.
Never say too late.
Ya Miss Hadeel, ( algirsh alabiyad lilyoum alaswad). You know that proverb, no doubt. Sooner or later, we have to settle our accounts. No need to let the others. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, it's true. but to be honest, I couldn't get your point, I'm sorry.😓
Thank you Suuu, I like your sincerity. Seldom we meet such people who face themselves.
Wow , what a great essay , Congratulation,,,!
Thank you for giving people positive feedback and energy!.
A very nice meditative blog about the importance of being accountable for a family . What you have been doing , is what most mothers do . However , depriving yourself from eating one or 2 of the fruits while preparing them is related to your nature . You make your family your priority . Something which isn't wrong . But few bites won't harm them at all . You might took this behaviors from your mother unconsciously . Me myself I took a lot from my mother . She used to give us meals without eating with us or eating less than us and this was related to her kind nature and generosity as an arab women . Requiring her habits afterwards led me to bad health issues but now I am okay I have learned to eat with my kids . Thanks for sharing your wonderful moments with us . That were full of thanks for Allah's blessings 👍
