		<description>A wonderful post, dearest Sister :)  It is a reminder and a lesson for us each day of our lives, which in itself is the greatest blessing and reason for gratitude to our Creator.

		<description>Alsalamu Alaikom,

SubhanAllah, every day we live thorugh is a chance Allah is giving us to make the best out of that day. 
Many see their illness as a loss, when it only is one when one chooses for it to be. I see that you have gained from your illness when you have expressed your gratitude, May Allah reward you.

 &quot;I am grateful for the taking away and the giving, for the loss and the gain, for illness and health, for nearness and distance, for blindness and sight - for the lessons that each of these has held for me in the past few years.&quot;

Beautifully expressed. I loved this post.</description>

		<description>Assalam-alaikam Baraka,

Thank you for the reminder, its so easy to fall into complacency and take everything for granted.  Just the act of thinking about all we have and how we have been blessed is enough to change your whole frame of mind, and you have guided me to doing that this morning.</description>

		<description>Dear Baraka,

Such beauty you express here...

Its what we all need to hear...

To find love and blessing instead of fault.

The blessings of deep peace and healing to you my sister,
