my stroke recovery

my morning walk in the last 2 weeks involved me walking along the internal corridor towards the kitchen, whence i then had a morning coffee, before the first cigarette for the day. just like old times!!!. then i proceeded to send my daughter to school, driven of course by azhar, our ever loyal multipurpose assistant. this i enjoyed so much as it was always my target to be able to send my children to school. in a way this was already achieved, alhamdulillah, even though i wasn't the one driving. inshaallah, soon. there were moments during my morning walk whereby i felt like walking in a normalmanner, alhamdulillah, inshaallah, a few more months of this routine , would eventually train the affected muscles to function properly. so you can guess how i feel about the current 2 weeks school holidays. nevertheless, walking is now relatively easier, just train my mind that" i can walk anywhere and i will not fall. now i know the reason allah afflicted me, it's to train me to wake up in the morning for the suboh prayers, without fail, get me ready for the next life, syukur alhamdulillah, if i hadn't been afflicted, early morning thoughts would have been preoccupied by either the urgent need to get to a golf course or otherwise, how best to get a legup before the working day commences. syukuur alhamdulillah to allah, for rewarding me this opportunity to correct myself and prepare for the next life.
