Happiness is....

Happiness is only real when shared...






A quote from a movie I have to mention due to relevance and comes in a nice sequence I would say,but Im getting ahead of myself,

The name of the movie is "into the wild " based on a true story of a guy that goes on to what he calls "the great adventure," and the path that lead him there,the disconnection with society,with the known world,with the preconceptions of society.I dont want to tell much about the road and his conclusions since I expect you to watch the movie and I dont want to spoil it .

But I do want to address his need to get away,to leave the preconceptions of society and its rules.Remember the anchors? Well it fits here; without them we are simply a leap away from the role he plays in the movie.;a person with whom one has at least one or two characteristics in common.At times having had the experience of that  little voice in our heads asking :what if I went?Would it matter? Would I find myself ?Well I'll leave the similarities between you and the character for you to deal with,but always  keep in mind that the movie is based  on a true story.

Be adventurous, feel life, and surround yourself by those who matter.Never let those bridges fade for they are your own definition. Seek happiness but know that it is only real when shared; a life time of accomplishments means nothing to an empty world,but do bear in mind that you need these accomplishments to share with those you find.

Life is a balance of wills and forces,the simple equilibrium of happiness will come from the simplicity of moments ,the ones you unknowingly share ;simple and pure.

The simplicity of acceptance,we are not simple,but life is.we usually complicate it,but in the end it comes out to the ability of facing oneself and simply stating this is me and that is my life.....

My Ramadan Table-Day 14




Menu :

Libyan Sharba

Burick  Turkish (veggies of choice only )

Arabic Salad

Foul Imdemes (Egypt) (leftover)

Tajeene Bata with Lamb ( leftover  )

Yahni Bamia (Okra )


Pizza ( Italian ) 




 Sahten !




Hints for a nice Ramadan Table Menu ;


The basics  of choice are  :soup ,burick ,1 or 2 salads,a yahni and maybe rice pilaf.The buslas (onion sauces and used as toppings) for couscusy ,pasta ,rishtet keskas,or rice can be used for larger families but always use a much lesser quantity than the norm, to avoid the excess of food.
 In adition to imbakbaka which can sometimes replace the sharba(soup)to lovers of pasta !





The Libyan Dates above( Bela7) before the ripe are also sweet -depending on the palm.These were brought to me by my neighbour bless his heart.
