Don't worry, Be happy

by Housewife4Palestine


Sometimes we get tired of the same old routine day after day, like a friend said to me today that he goes to work, sleeps and eats that was about it.

Then I think all the explosions in the world has gotten with the railway bombing in India, the war between Israel and what seems as with most of their neighbors and in Afghanistan a man used his taxi cab to be a kind of suicide bomber at American troops. Along with the harrowing situation in Iraq, to name a few.

Then you have people worrying with the continuous economic woe’s all over the world and many were their next meal is going to come from.

And I could keep adding to this list of all the chaos or outright dysfunction in the world.

But then I am reminded that know matter how bad things seem sometimes, we have to keep in our mind it has to get better.

I got to thinking back when things was sometimes so hard in my life that at time’s, I have to admit it was hard to put one foot in front of the other. But I always thought deep down in my heart, Allah had to make it better; that I was just going though a test no matter how hard it rained or how blazing hot the sun got.

One thing I always knew deep down, if I always tried to be the best person I know how; I would pass the test and the sun would shine and I’d either have a cool breeze from the heat or a rainbow.

Their was a song that came out a number of years ago now called, “Don’t Worry, be Happy;” seems like we needed to be reminded of things like this so the drudgeries, worries, sorrow, poverty so forth doesn’t take it’s toll on us.

I can’t help thinking this is not what Allah ever intended for us, just happiness.

So when you feel that heavy load or the day couldn’t get much worse just remember to do your best, it will past with tomorrow and don’t forget a little smile now and again; it really works.
