7:04am
My sleep was rested, but, many times, I woke up having
extended thoughts of this and that and a dream of mom and dad.
Mom and dad were busy tinkering about their unfinished
home. It was roughly finished but had a very good vision of things to come with
the right amount of time, effort and resources.
Have been wondering the message since 5am this morning.
Dad’s first year death anniversary is fast approaching
and I just verbalized to a good friend that I have been so sad and morose about
it all.
It is only these past few days that I have been zealous
to wipe off the dusty cobwebs from my mind and the gloomy rainy weather here in
Qatar has not been helping much.
Anyway, Marcelina
and I are still trying to battle the nasty cough we have as a residue of the
awful bout we had with fever. Marina started it on the 14th of
November and battled it for almost a week while Marcelina and I had a long
extended fight with it. It was most relentless and virulent.
I am on my 2nd bottle of cough syrup (made in
France) which taste so heavenly like Vanilla Ice Cream while Marcelina is
content with a bottle made in Jordan and tastes like green tea.
Anyway, today, the question I want to pursue is this:
Have you fully grasped your life’s purpose?
Contemplating on the past 6 weeks with Doha Home Educators and the
wonderful photos of my kids and other home schooled kids, makes me really happy
and grateful for the journey I have had with
the inspiration and then the decision to home school the girls.
It is not easy to stay on course especially when challenges come
that almost always blows out your steam or steals the wind from your sail.
The almost decade of
pursuing education inside our home was not easy to say the least…but oh
so worth it when I see my 5 year
old so diligent to finish her seat work
and bask in their dad’s reaction to her
work. He thought it was Marina’s work…
So, yes, this morning, the sun is thank God shining so brightly,
and the course is still set at acquiring
education within our home, with our own efforts and timetable whether people around approves of it or not.
