Happy Muslim Mama: Ramadan 2020/1441: Ramadan Gratitude Journal Day 16

What places you are grateful for?

I am most grateful for the Haramain, or our sacred places – my trip to Makkah and Madinah 15 years ago was life affirming and life changing in many ways.

I am grateful for anywhere in nature that’s soothes, heal or inspires: beaches, forests, glades, green valleys or moors.

I am grateful for anywhere I find books libraries, bookshops and book stalls, especially secondhand bookshops with random finds.

I am grateful for my little garden, somewhere I can experiment and try and grow thing and learn as I go. A place to sit outside and enjoy the sun, early morning birdsong, the sound of lazy fat bumble bees and the sight of an occasional butterfly.

I am grateful for the quiet places in my home: my bedroom, most of all my snuggly bed.
