<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been a long week for me personally with stuff happening at work and home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the home front, I continue to pray everyday that my special son doesn\u2019t get bored (and irritated) staying at home for the next 3 weeks. We usually have our routine of visiting my mum at my brother\u2019s place during the weekends but that routine needs to stop for a while. He hasn\u2019t said anything and I hope he continues not to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m sure everyone who has children is on the same boat as me. Just that as my has autism, his tolerance and coping mechanisms can be way off the chart – not in a good way. Breaking off routines are not easy for him to deal with and it\u2019s not even his fault – he\u2019s just wired that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bracing myself and praying for the best for the next 3 weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway the busyness of the past few days has taken on me physically and mentally – like this morning was those moments I felt I was out of battery. I decided to pace myself a bit for the day so that I can cope with the days to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet (PBUH) said, “There are two blessings which many people lose: (They are) Health and free time for doing good.”<\/p>Bukhari<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

How true this is at the moment – personally for me, and I\u2019m sure for many.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who face similar challenges working from home, feeling bad or guilty to either your family or the work you\u2019re doing, as you struggle to balance the two – don\u2019t beat yourself up, instead take a step back and give yourself a break. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reenergize and reorganize yourself, build up those coping mechanism. Remember you don\u2019t have to save the world – you can\u2019t be perfect at everything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So focus on those little things and continue doing it as it might make a bigger difference than you think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: \u201cTake on only as much as you can do of good deeds, for the best of deeds is that which is done consistently, even if it is little.\u201d<\/p>Ibn Majah<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Stay home. Stay safe. Stay sane.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
