Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

聽From Remona Aly, Freelance journalist and editor:

A few months ago, I gave birth to a beautiful baby nephew. Like my twin nieces before him, he is the love of my life. And of course, I act like he鈥檚 mine. "He's not even five months and he can turn on his side!"I鈥檇 say to disinterested folk, "Yeah he giggles and gurgles all the time, the dribble meister. Isn鈥檛 he adorable?"

I saw a viral video the other day - it was a comic take on a new aunt who is obsessed with her sister鈥檚 baby. She shows bored colleagues baby photos and kisses her mobile screensaver picture of her niece, whispering 鈥業 love you鈥�. I watched this video with incredulity thinking, she is one bat crazy woman! And then I realised, it was me.

It鈥檚 true I鈥檝e always been a bit too broody, but alas, as a singleton, I can only savour the joy of little booboos that are not my own. Although I do like a full night鈥檚 sleep, I say to all the parents of the world - you have no idea how I yearn to be one myself.

It鈥檚 all too easy to sigh after what you don鈥檛 have. I鈥檝e seen friends crave the job they don鈥檛 get, cry over the fantasy husband or wife they can鈥檛 find, or long for the life they are not leading.

The grass might be greener on the other side, but wasting my time chasing dreams means I neglect the real wonder of the life I hold in my own hands right now. Instead of yearning to be a mum, I can glory in being a doting aunt. Instead of wishing I had the perfect hubby tomorrow, I鈥檒l revel in the beautiful friendships I have today.

The richest of souls is one that is content with what it has, goes an Islamic saying, and I will enjoy the riches that are within my grasp, my soul, my self.

Just as the Persian Muslim poet, Sanaa鈥檌 writes, 鈥淲hy worry about the stars when you are your sky. The world is full of obvious things. But you - you are a hidden treasure. Remember with joy, you are your world.鈥�

So I won鈥檛 look out there to what I don鈥檛 have, I鈥檒l count the blessings, live life, grow wings, as I鈥檓 the only one who can clip them or give them flight.
