Salam!
I don't know how many of you like Oprah Winfrey, or for that matter watch her show, but sometimes she just has some really good things to talk about.
Like today, I happened to catch her show while eating lunch and I must say that it just touched me so much. It was so touching/sad/eye opening et cetera.
Here is the link, please go look at it

This story really made me tear up a lot because like so many others stories of suffering I guess it always tends to hit me smack in the face, that I really should have no reason to complain. Especially, especially when you see what others have to go through, and that even with what they have to go through they still have the power to smile.
OK, they can still smile!!!
They have cried, and they have suffered but they happen to find this little light inside that makes them smile. I mean, I'll be honest seeing what others have to go through I really feel stupid for the times that I tend to feel sorry for myself.
I've said it once, and I'll say it again, we all have our own trials and tribulations that we must endure, because that's life. However, I'd have to say that I feel like a putz when I'm moppy because something didn't go how I wanted it too.
What touched me most about this story was the strength of these, well, for the most part young women and sometimes girls. I mean, these are fighters people, they're poor, and suffering but they WILL NOT give up, and I suppose again that makes one re-evaluate ones self.
I mean, I'm blessed. I truly am, Alhamduillah x million. Sometimes we don't realize just how lucky we truly are. Or spoiled? I feel spoiled. And ashamed that I complain. Poor lil me. Astighfurillah.
The fact that Dr. Catherine Hamlin has dedicated over fifty years of her life to giving these young women another shot is so...Endearing? Self-less? Intriguing? Wonderful? Touching?
So many things. Seeing people like Dr. Hamlin really inspires me. You know, like WE can make a difference, with the help of God. It reminded me why I had initially wanted to become a doctor.
It just so nice to see people doing things. I'm so happy these women get another chance and that with the help of this doctor and Allah (s.w.t) that they are able to start again.
There was one part in particular that just got the tears going. After these women have had their surgeries and have recovered Dr. Hamlin gives each of them a brand new dress and scarf as a sign of new beginnings.
Gosh, to see the looks on the faces of these women was just...amazing. You can tell it meant the world to them.
You know, there really are so many strong people out there and both these young women and the dr's that help are an example.
May Allah give them strength and happiness...ameen.
Take care and have a great night.
