We have been blessed by a really great weather today despite the forecast of cloudy, overcast skies and some rain. Today is the Islamic holiday of Hijra and we have no work or school for the little girl. Something extra-ordinary happens when it’s a weekend or a holiday in our home, we wake up earlier than we used to!
Just when spending more time in bed can do no damage, we are up and about before 7! How crazy can that be! We got up and had breakfast and went to the nearby park, all of us since it’s a public holiday and it will be open to men. Some parks here in Dubai are only open to males on Fridays and Saturdays only. Don’t believe me?
It was a glorious day. I jogged for 2kms around the park track to keep up with my new year’s resolution to stay healthier. The little girl enjoyed the sun and played until all the water we brought was consumed.
What a lovely day we had and it felt good to know that I can tire myself running and playing, keeping up with a toddler without thinking of going to work again the next morning. Indeed, a two-day weekend is such a joy (I normally have Fridays off every week).
That is such a happy photo of your daughter. she is SO pretty
don’t you just wish there are more days like this?
