Gimme the green light!

Appreciating the green light:

It's a go ahead sign, go for it sign

You don't have to wait anymore, and you feel a relief when the wait is over!

The certainty that you're allowed to move

you have control, and no one is stopping you (except a slow car/person in front of you!)

You feel like you are driving

it's a start.

Appreciation-Nation: Qatar

(I didn't take these pictures)

It's December 18th, Qatar national day! Here are some things we can appreciate about Qatar:

1- There are countless amounts of 'Only in Qatar'!

2- Everything is always a big deal! including you (you can easily be significant). Events are always a big deal: Doha tribecca film festival, Asian Games, FOOTBALL games! Qatar national day, New restaurants!..etc

3- It's always hot/or good weather compared to the rest of the world.

4- Karak

5- It's Safe & Secure

6- It's a developing country - heaps of opportunities

7- Qatar avoided financial crisis - and GDP rising.. ok i'll say it..i really appreciate the $$$$$!

8- Gas is cheap

9- if you have a land-cruiser you rule the streets of Doha

10- Aspire Park, Corniche, The Pearl, West Bay - kind of nice places to enjoy scenery and to jog

11- You never run out of hot water!

12- The nation and culture pride - Qatar knows how to hold on to its character and values

13- Diversity

14- The skyline view

15- There's just alot of sugar! if you're a sweet-tooth, you're pretty much comfortable!

16- Tennis tournaments

17- You can reach anywhere within half an hour (except with traffic..but with max 1 hour on average)

18- It's very collective - you barely see someone walking alone- always surrounded by friends & family

19- the Calls to Prayer

20- News travel around really fast! So you'll know immediately that Josh Hartnett is in Grand Hyatt before he goes there!

What do you appreciate about Qatar?

Honey-ZZZ

Only recently I heard that it's really good to have honey with warm water in the morning.Not really knowing why i should start, but i became absolutely addicted to drinking honey with warm water every morning , and then I found this:

http://thehealthblogger.com/honey-and-water-is-it-really-that-good/

Now i'm really commited to honey! Tonight I appreciate all the-honey:

1- it's sweet

2- You call your loved ones honey, honey-bun, hon. You also go on your Honeymoon!

3- honey-bun sugar-plum song!

4- Isn't the color of honey really unique?! It's beautiful; honey colored eyes, and imagine having honey-colored hair!

5- A powerful antibiotic when mixed with warm water

6- Has a religious and spiritual meaning: There's an entire chapter in the Qu'ran called Al-Nahl: Honey-Bee. The Muslim Prophet Muhammad PBUH strongly recommended Honey for healing purposes. Also a symbol in Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jewish tradition.

7- Winnie- the - Poo!

8- great for sore throat, and when you want to sing or talk alot!

9- Just the miracle of how bees make honey

10- It's a beauty ingredient - put it on your face (with water)

11- Something that helps you lose weight , while tasting sweet and fullfiling! check out the hibernation diet.

12- tastiest medicine ever! and with no side-effects

13- You can mix it as a natural sweetner with green tea, any tea coffee and other naughty drinks!

14- Energy booster & at the same time helps you sleep at night! (good for day and night)

15- It flows nicely : it's liquidy, easy to eat, mix, swallow..etc

Ok i'm not advertising Honey! So i'll stop there! Feel free to share your remedy appreciation here.

Thanks, Appreciated,

Appreciation in Contrast

I sometimes have to think about what to appreciate in something so crap & horrible! I figured out that I appreciate things even more when I experience the opposite. So it became a main thing for me; to always believe that something bad happens, only because something good will come out of it eventually.
Today, i appreciate all the not-so-good things! (NOTE: leaving out sensitive topics for now) :

1- Cold weather
2- Bad headaches
3- Loneliness/ homesickness
4- Ugly shirts
5- Embarrassments
6- Awkward moments
7- Mistakes & failure
8- Gaining weight
9- Yelling/ being yelled at
10- Forgetfulness
11- Being LOW on cash
12- Doubt
13- Bird-poo!! (You might be forced to clean your car, go back home to shower, or to change to better clothes..etc)
14- Curfews, rules
15- When your Heroes become Has-beens
16- Scary movies/ being scared / nightmares
17- Too much of things (if you're too sweet, ate something too salty, partying too hard, being alone too much..etc)
18- a grey hair!
19- Noise
20- Crying

Shukran, Appreciated,

First I'd like to appreciate : YouTube

YouTube makes the world smaller.
http://www.inbflat.net

I can't count how many hours i can stay on YouTube, and forget time. I started my YouTube lovin' when I wanted to watch morning shows during night time right before I went to sleep! Because it made me look forward to the next morning. So, the only way i could do that is through YouTube, because we don't really get morning shows here at night!

Another time I appreciated YouTube was when I desperately wanted to sing , and share. Could only find the acoustic on youtube because you can just ask any active youtube guitarist to play what you want, and you can share a part of yourself.

Thanks, Appreciated,

Wesam
