Today is 1st day of New year 2023 and I'm looking back to the past year 2022 ,I don't know what challenges I will face next year, but I know I have the tools to overcome them... that I learned from my life. In this year what I blessed, learned, achieved, lost, good and bad memories I will share with you.

Everyday has a new lesson for us, and we learned how to handle our problems and unfavourable conditions smoothly. Sometimes Allah tests us by giving and sometimes by taking. As Muslims, we believe every act happens on the command of Allah, but we forget him when he blessed us, and when he took us out, we cried and prayed.

The beauty of life comes when we face every situation openly and bravely. Before reviewing my 2022 year, I just want to tell you that most of my 2021 was spent dealing with my bad health condition. So my year started with the same bad health. At the start of February 2022, Dr. Oz prescribed "steroids" to overcome my bad health.

I realised and accepted my bad health, then my crying stopped, and you wouldn't believe that I started receiving my health because my health issues weren't curable because they were autoimmune disorders, and these issues become worse when you are depressed. Alhumdulilah I'm heath now since April.

During this year, I enjoyed wedding of my niece it was most enjoyable and memorable events of the year 2022. We spent more than 10 day at rest house. Wedding functions, dance, songs, food, night games and gossip were the part of my memories. My kids enjoyed too.

All girls did pajama party at rest house after sleeping of all elders. They play cards, ludo at night. Singing was not allowed by family at late night. The wedding has 6th functions. They spent alot of money at this wedding. Everyone enjoyed this event and for me it's most memorable event of the year.

In summer vacations we arranged a barbecue gathering at my sister's house. My all siblings with there families gathered. I marinated chicken for BBQ and my brother with my son grilled chicken for us. It was a family gathering and we are planning again for the same type of gathering. After delicious BBQ dinner we enjoyed good family time. My son played guitar for us and sang songs. My brother in law also sang a song. This gathering went all night. Before sunset we went to sea side and enjoyed weather and did breakfast.

During summer vacation I visited northern areas of Pakistan. I visited first time these places. The beauty of these areas can't be described in words. My tour was of 9days and I was with my husband. Kids did not with me so it was another memorable trip from this year. We are planning to visit these places with kids this year. I visited Sawaat, kaalam, Malam Jabba, Bala Coat, Naaran, khaghan. I loved Kalam the most.

In September I blessed by my Allah and got chance to visit our religious places Makkah and Madina with my kids and mom. My trip was excellent, it was great experience to perform Umarah with kids. This was my fourth visit to my religious Holly kaaba and prophet's mosque but kids were there first time. Thanks my Allah to bless me this opportunity and bless me again and again.

We spent 18days at makkah and 11days at Madina. We visited our historic places in these cities too. The satisfaction you get on these places is undesirable. We enjoyed our prayers, tawaaf and umrah, their local foods and Ziyarat to historic places. May Allah give this opportunity to every Muslim to visit these places.

In November my sister visited to Pakistan from Canada after 3years it was great time for me, she is still in pakistan and we are enjoying. When I saw my niece first time after her birth it was most pleasant. She's 4months old MashaAllah.

We are doing shopping, outside dining, movies watching at cinema etc. She staying most of her time at my home. So I'm very much busy from more than 1month..

We celebrated new year night together at Mazeedar restaurant and it was great fun at dinner. My mom and my all sister with their kids were there too. These are some good memories from 2022. I hope Allah will bless me and my family more in this year 2023.
