best summer day

It was a beautiful sunny spring day.The marvelous sparkling newness that always surprised after the long evenings and cold nights. The snows were gone for another year. Though they had a unique charm, always relieved to see new growth break through the bleak whiteness of the surrounding hills. i took a little time to catch my breath. The sun smiled reflecting the crystal pure water of the lake which sparkled like million little daimonds . A 'plopping' sound as a fish breaks the surface and ripples widening out. At the edge of the lake now, the pebbles under our feet, that could be felt crunches.A day which comes once in a blue moon to have so much fun when everything was timed to be perfect .

HOW AS A MOTHER I FEEL WHILE MAKING SEHRI

Now the Ramadan has started and me being the mother has to prepare the two important meals.It's easier at Iftar time but at Sehri it is difficult. First of all getting up early while watching the rest sleep peacefully ,"Hello! i could use some help here". Anyways, as i move into the kitchen and start making chapatis, but before that keeping food into the microwave for preheating. My head keeps turning right after every five minutes to recheck the time .After the food is ready to serve, that is not it ,i still have to make tea since me and my husband have a habit of having morning tea and then a glass of milk for my children. Now that every thing is prepared , I have to go and wake my family up. In case of my husband, "no problem".All i have to do is call his name once ,but "God !can somebody else wake my children up."i just feel helpless when it come to them . I go upstairs, wake them up once , come down and then have to keep reminding them 3-4 times from the kitchen , my throat just drys off. After everybody sets on the table , we eat , then pray and then get back to our normal day routine.

Ramadan is a month of blessings, so i get reward from "Allah"on preparing Sehri. Apart from this i don't want my family to fast empty stomach, what if they fall sick? These are the two reasons which keeps me motivated to do this exercise every morning.
