I have never ever done these two things before.

1-When I was making my plans, I was as strong as a rock. But when the time came, I felt as weak as an infant. I found myself crying in the shower, driving, and in the morning after breakfast.

It was not like me. I am an optimistic person.

I was leaving my three munchkins for whole seventeen days!

2-I was leaving for a pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia. It is called Hajj.

Hajj is an obligatory pillar of Islam. It should be performed by a healthy, financially stable person.

My husband and I were ready to roll. I had no special feelings that people say they feel on this spiritual feeling. To tell the hard core truth, I just wanted to get it over with.

Now, on my way to Hajj, I feel relaxed.

My kids are having a great time. I am starting to “feel” that spiritual feeling, maybe.
