Three of my latest art pieces. I’ve been in my own world lately, I am thankful for my ability to paint and create. Being an artist is one of the best things anyone can be. Art brings about a mood of serenity art brightens up dark days, just looking at a beautiful image/piece of art can really make a difference in your world. you don’t have to be a professional to paint. That is the beauty of art. Art can be as great as just a dot and as great as a full detailed portrait. Art is art the beauty is in the eye of the beholder when it comes to art. I can greatly appreciate that. What i consider a masterpiece can be viewed as a monstrosity to another. so, I love art it brings me joy, hope and serinity.
The greatest thing in life is to appreciate and to be thankful for what you have. A part of being thankful and appreciative is staying in the moment and being focused on the present. “A jewel of life” to really enjoy and experience the treasures and blessings life has to offer you have to be present. being in the present means you are indulging every second, you are observant, aware and engaging fully with your whole being. being in the present is not backtracking, or replaying past events/scenarios in your head; thinking of what could of been. It is pointless to do things like that because it has already happened and cannot be undone.
Being in the present is also letting go and giving it all to god. Anything that has caused you hurt or pain, anyone you have animosity or anger towards you have to simply let go so that you can heal and be in the present moment. There is simply no way that you are fully on the present and you are angry about something or thinking about something that happened 3 years ago. Simply let go and give it to God. stay focused on the now cause you will never see today again!
All of this basically can be described using one word “Carpe diem” meaning making the most of the present , no focusing on the past or future. I am not saying that it is wrong to be concerned about your future. but it is more so important to focus on the present, because what you do now will reflect your future. Take this “jewel of life” let it enter your heart, mind and soul and gather all that excess baggage and get rid of it. let today be the day you say “I AM LETTING GO, LETTING GOD AND WILL STAY IN THE PRESENT”!

Friday chilling/vibing whatever you want to call it. I miss going to jummah. But since this pandemic jummah has been pretty much closed. Jummah is a religious day on friday that muslims go to mosque to pray, listen to a lecture and be amongst Other muslims. It is like sunday for christians who go to church.
The sky was such a delight to see on this day. I 1Was with my grandmother and she mentioned ” look at the sky,” only God can do something beautiful like that.” I agree things like this and so many other extraordinary things make you undoubtedly believe there is a God and only he is able to create perfectly. The clouds look like a scattered trail breaking away from the majestic sun. Things like restore hope,trust and faith in my soul. Nature and God’s creation is superb. So if your feeling down just look at the sky and know that the one who created the vast sky and keeps the clouds up is the same one who will carry you throughout life.
