eid mubarak

sunday was the Chicago Marathon; 40,000 people ran past my window in their last quarter-mile of the 26 mile marathon. looking down from my window, i could see an endless stream of people about to complete the very last leg. 26 miles of personal motivation, triumph and spirit.

everyone runs their own marathons; monday was eid, the very last leg after a slightly different tournament of personal motivation, triumph and spirit..uality. like everyone else, i was excited about eid. spending time with friends and even more important, spending time with family. i got to see people i never get to see, and i enjoyed myself so, so much.

i also learned a few things this ramazaan and gained some insights into the nature of certain people; and people in general. i became more involved in writing khidmat than ever before, and i hope this trend continues; i have enjoyed being actively involved in the jamaat via my own strengths. i watched talebaat grow by almost half and felt genuine excitement at just how much we can accomplish when we put our pretty little heads together.

anyway. more on all this later. ramazaan is over and as always, it's been an experience.
