A thankful heart

Sunrise over the Nile, Khartoum, Sudan. A daily reminder to me that, instead of complaining, I am thankful for a new day


A wise man once said that a pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity while an optimist sees an opportunity in every difficulty.

Amen!

The Arabic for a thankful heart is Shākrā al-Qlb (pronounced Shookra al kelp)

  4. Opportunity does not come by so often, so seize it when ever it arrives and make full use of it.

  6. Literal translation would be "Qalb shakoor" or "Qalb Shakir"
