One of my dear friends invited me and my siblings over for iftar yesterday, as usual we were late! Driving around last minute to find some good pastry to take with us. Finally 5 minutes before iftar we get a cake, once the lady said mocha and cream cheese I was sold. We finally arrive at my friends house and apologize for being late but she is always so forgiving. Once we finished eating we watched one of Ramadan's special T.V shows (as if I needed another one) and decide to learn how to dance Dabkeh! I love the tradition and culture of Dabkeh but have never learned how :-/
After some cake and a cup of coffee we were doing Dabkeh in her apartment, I felt a bit physically impaired not being able to get the moves but I was persistent. Coffee makes me happy for no reason and being with my friends and family just made me even more happier, I felt like I could do anything! I was looking forward to college this fall, I wanted to get a new hair cut, and just do anything and everything. We went home at 1:00 a.m. and I asked my sister to give me a hair cut, don't worry she is a professional. The haircut gave me a new look I was looking for and made me even more happier; coffee hasn't worn off yet. After that I decided to take a shower and catch up on one of my goals, finishing the Quran this month. I was feeling so behind and decided to stay up till fajr, yes I know coffee does wonders to me hehehe. I was on a roll, the more I read the better I felt. My dad wanted to have suhoor at 3:30 a.m. so I took a break to sit with the family. I continued and couldn't anymore after 4:40 a.m. decided to take snooze on the couch so I don't miss fajr.
What a great day, night and beginning of another day, right? I had an amazing time with my friend, got a new look that I needed so bad, and read to Surat Al Nisa'! I felt like I have nourished my body, soul and spirit. I now feel like giving up my shows is no big deal and procrastination looks evil. I woke up at 12:30 energetic! I don't know if I can keep up being awake till 6:00 a.m. but it works for now.To think it all started from a cup of coffee.
