Tranquillity

Got the bus home feeling a bit down in the dumps- was supposed to meet a friend, but she changed plans to visit another friend. So I'm having an inner whinge about am I not good enough for her etc? Also got annoyed about fiance not paying enough attention to something I was saying. And to top it off, was thinking about the boring weekend I had ahead of me- lots of work stuff to do and no social life at the moment. So I'm being all glum on the bus when a sister sitting near me, her phone goes off. She starts telling her friend (I assume) about how she has probably lost her job. This is because she has been late in the past, but this morning it wasn't her fault as she was at the hospital having as asthma attack last night. Her family won't be supportive about her losing her job as they think she should be settling down and not temping anyway
So anyways, there was me beginning to feel really ashamed of myself. What was I complaining about? Alhamdullilah, my friend who couldn't spend the evening with me this time spends most of her time going out of her way to socialise with me. My fiance would never intentionally hurt my feelings. And I have work stuff to do, but I enjoy my job and it's secure. To top it all off, I was going home to a supportive family. How ungrateful am I?!
I think I need reminders like this every day of my life because Allah (swt) has really blessed me in so many ways
