Are there nights where you sit and wonder? Wonder how Allaah has chosen you to live this life and breathe in the blessings of this world? How you were once nothing, a leech, a clot, a mere morsel of flesh and how Allaah The Exalted chose to give you a soul, an essence, a being and a meaning. He chose you to be His slave and worship none but Him.
Is that not worth living for?

While Celeste was in seventh heaven, however, her family was in turmoil.
Everyone was up late and cranky, trying to clean the inn in which the reception had been held. As the men sat and talked and drank (in the case of Javert), the women folded lace tablecloths after shaking them free of crumbs and tried to tend to the children, who were up far past their usual bedtimes and consequently noisy and fussy. Liam was doing what he could to help, but his mood was quite black and in truth he was more of a hindrance than a help because of it. Finally one of the sterner women banished him to the corner with the rest of the men, and he stalked off, brooding.
Cosette was wrestling, on top of it all, her stubborn eldest daughter who refused to sit and rest, despite her condition—fragile she might not be, but her mother feared the consequences of overexertion nonetheless. She knew better than to think that Aimee would actually lose or injure her child. But Aimee was her own babe, and she could not endure even the possibility of such a thing.
“Darling please,” she said as she gathered glasses and silverware onto a tray, “look, I’ve got it—and Sarah and your grandmother—and Gustave’s got the baby—sit, rest—”
Today my Life Begins
Bruno Marsi’ve been working hard so long
seems like pain has been my only friend
my fragile heart’s been done so wrong
i wondered if i’d ever heal again
ohh just like all the seasons never stay the same
all around me i can feel a change (ohh)
i will break these chains that bind me, happiness will find me
leave the past behind me, today my life begins
a whole new world is waiting it’s mine for the taking
i know i can make it, today my life begins
yesterday has come and gone
and i’ve learn how to leave it where it is
and i see that i was wrong
for ever doubting i could win
ohh just like all the seasons never stay the same
all around me i can feel a change (ohh)
i will break these chains that bind me, happiness will find me
leave the past behind me, today my life begins
a whole new world is waiting it’s mine for the taking
i know i can make it, today my life begins
life’s to short to have regrets
so i’m learning now to leave it in the past and try to forget
only have one life to live
so you better make the best of it
i will break these chains that bind me, happiness will find me
leave the past behind me, today my life begins
a whole new world is waiting it’s mine for the taking
i know i can make it, today my life begins
i will break these chains that bind me, happiness will find me
leave the past behind me, today my life begins
a whole new world is waiting it’s mine for the taking
i know i can make it, today my life begins
today my life begins…
