Hurray!
Today marks our 9th month anniversary in this
beautiful land in the sands!
Last night, after the 7pm pass, which was surprisingly a
healing, charismatic inspired mass, we went for some Shawarma and Vegetable
pizza at one of our favorite Turkish resto’s along old airport road to
celebrate this wonderful day.
It is a wonderful day because, it is a day where our Lord
and our Maker, showed us He loves us so much
to answer our prayers to be one
family under one roof.
Thank you indeed Lord!
Thank you!
There are so many things I want to blog about but today,
I will devote my time and words focusing on the
TOP 8 Things I Love About Being in Doha, Qatar. Let us begin:
1.
The winter to spring months of cool to very cold
and windy evenings are quite long. It starts from late September
or October to late April. It over
compensates for the sizzling hot months
from July ( the time we arrived) to August. I just LOVE IT!
2.
Seeing Arabs in their spanking white Disdashas and
the women in their chic black makes me
happy with my affinity to the colors. I
love wearing blacks to camouflage my
figure and white as well to feel cooler in certain days. So BLACK and WHITE for me has never been so as pleasing as now!
3.
Corniche and
downtown Al Dafna. The color of the
Persian gulf is such a wonderful shade of blue and green especially at this
time of the year! It is so refreshing!
Looking at the exciting architecture of the various skyscrapers and how they sparkle and shine at night makes
it so enchanting and mesmerizing. It reminds me, that all things are possible.
One just has to be bold and dare to dream and take those steps to realize them.
4.
The flower
filled parks, street islands, roundabout and landmarks. It makes the ride
more lovely and pleasant each time.
5.
Souq
Waqif! It is a quaint market of almost anything and everything you can
imagine. The old buildings and architecture makes you travel back in time and
give you glimpses of what a different kind of world it really is here in the
middle east. The unfamiliarity and newness of everything
foreign is still so exciting to discover
and learn more about.
6.
The camels
and sand dunes of sealine beach. The smiling face of the camel reminds you
to be patient at the face of the harsh
realities life and to grin and bear it
with a pleasant face.
7.
Baklava,
a sweet, flaky, almond and honey delight that is such a treat!
8.
Arabic
call to prayer. The reminder to pray is so divine. The priority given to it
is sterling and laudable. Each time I hear it on the radio, it is an
opportunity to hook up to THE source of all power and strength.
God is good!
