Day 2: Be well, be strong, be healthy

 My doctor called me this week and said, “I’ve got good news, and bad news.”  Not exactly the words you want to hear from a doctor.  “It’s not malignant,” she continued.  Allah ka shukr.  “But it is atypical.”  Oh.The past few months, I’ve finally been focusing on my health, and had scheduled a routine mammogram; proceeded by a more in-depth one; and then a biopsy.  I wasn’t worried, thinking it was mostly precautionary, especially since there isn't a serious family history.  It turns out ‘atypical’ means precancerous, and I’ll need to have a procedure.  What a blessed month to have it done, with everyone’s duas iA.Nothing in life is more important than our health; it’s what allows us to enjoy all of God’s other blessings, with gusto.  I thank God for my good health and that of my family. Even this blip is quite manageable iA.  My dua for everyone this Ramadan –  be well, be strong, be healthy.  And for those who are in pain, may Allah alleviate your suffering and give you the strength to carry on.Day 2; Gratitude 2:  Health
