First day of Eid was so-so. I guess it could be attributed to the fact that I haven’t been in the best of moods these days. I’m finding it hard to get excited over anything. Maybe I’m just getting old.

But still, I treasured the day. After all, when else do we have four generations of family members gathered under one roof. When else can we meet all those relatives we only see once a year. And when else do we get down on our knees & ask for forgiveness from our elders. To me, the best thing about Eid is that it makes you feel thankful for what you have. Family members around you, a roof over your head, a home-cooked feast, new clothes, new furniture & whatnot. As they become part of our normal lives, we take them for granted. I know I do.

Eid Mubarak or Selamat Hari Raya to everyone.
