Finally de-funked, I hope!

You may or may not remember the great funk of 2008, well, I think that it’s FINALLY over! Well, at least, I desperately hope that it’s finally over! I feel better, and also less sick.

I am sure that I cannot fully explain what I’ve been through in the past few months, and even if I could, I am sure that no one could really understand how I felt. I have, however, learnt a lot from the experience; about myself, about life, and it’s one of those things that just had to happen, and I am a better person now because of it.

Almost exactly 12 years ago, actually, it was 12 years ago, yesterday, I started a new phase of my life – I left Trinidad and started my new life here in Canada, and in a strange, poetic way, yesterday I started another new phase in my life, and although I cannot share this new phase with you right now, I do feel like I am where I need to be and I am feeling more at peace than I have for a very long time.

I believe that all our life experiences, good or bad, are meant for us to gain knowledge, or benefit from them in some way; I believe if we are sincere, have good intentions, make decisions without anger and resentment, that we’ll be able to live without regret, even if things don’t work out the way that we may necessarily want.

Yey, alhamdulillah. I was in a similar funk recently (I think it was around the same time). Alhamdulillah my funk has gone too!

Goodbye In-a-funk-Shaz - welcome back funky-monkey-Shaz! {hugs}

Sometimes those funks are just a sign that something in your life needs to change.  Insh’Allah, I hope that whatever your new phase may be, it will be the best thing for you

iMuslim - “funky-monkey-Shaz”? huh. ok.
actually, i don’t know that i am back to that shaz, i am sort of a more serious, less fun shaz at the moment, but at least i am not in-a-funk-shaz!

Dalia - you are most certainly correct, a lot of things about my life needed to change, and i am still working on that, but it was a wake up call.

umarah - thank you, but it’s not exactly “good” news, it’s just a change that i feel like i really needed to make.

Specs - thanks honey. ameen.

Mona - how are you? i hope that your trip was excellent, i read about some of it on your blog… the shopping part!
i’ve been really behind on catching up with everyone. i am feeling much better, thank you, i also did read that thing you sent me on sinus, and a lot of it was true - it was odd that emotional problems cause sinus problems, but it was true and i talked to someone who explained that because of all the stress, those sinus muscles are contracted and tense and that’s what cause the infections… so i really needed to de-stress myself!
