Jamál (Beauty), 13 Rahmat (Mercy) 176 B.E. - Sunday, July 7, 2019
PROMPT: July 7th - It’s the Sunday News! Reflect on the first week of July. Are you on track to meet you goals? What are your plans for the rest of the month? The first week of July, like the first week of every month since January 2019 was stressful and interesting. My brother, Tom, who lives in Colorado begin the first round of chemo therapy. I and my other two siblings been getting text updates from him on a daily, sometimes hourly basis. His doctors are hopeful because the type of cancer he has apparently response to chemo therapy. My main goal this year is writing 200 poems to celebrate the Bicentenary of the Birth of the Bab, which will be celebrated on October 29. As of today, I finished 28 poems, and have 172 left to write in 114 days. I have two more in the works. I expect to finish all 200 by the October deadline. That about all for now. |
