Precious to me is the the look of happiness, content and safety a child has when they light up when their mom walks in the room. Children are so innoncent and they exemplify how simple and endearing love is before the chaos of life blossoms into adulthood. That’s what precious means to me.

What is PRECIOUS to me?…the resilence of the human spirit, to start over fresh each day! To wake up and leave the past in the past and try something new, to have an ah ha moment, to think in a different way and to choose to live a different life…. a life different than the way you might have been raised to think life has to be lived. Now that is courage!

With everything going on in this world, what is precious to me is hope. Even in the saddest of circumstances, just a shred of hope (that proverbial light at the end of the tunnel) can help kick start a change (and eventually bring you out of dreary circumstances).

I attended a conference recently and one presenter asked, “What gives you hope in this world?”

We had just been showed the environmental destruction created by industries and the many people in developing countries who don’t even have access to enough food or clean water supply (it was stated that the world has had enough food to feed everyone since the 1970s but obviously, the distribution of food hasn’t been equal in all countries).

So what gave me hope? It was people that stood up and decided, life shouldn’t be like this. We don’t have to give up and let things spiral out of control. We can reverse the trend and stand up.

And for me, that is what is precious. Hope is precious. When you’ve lost all hope (of anything) then what is there to fight for, what is there to live for? Hope helps us believe that we can survive, and we will survive.

My loved ones are precious to me. My family, and friends that have been there from the beginning are precious. They represent a deep sense of unconditional love. We are there for each other through thick and thin and this will never falter. They will never fade, and we just grow closer everyday. Even loved ones, young and old both, that have passed are precious to me because their memories continue to live on in my heart.

The most precious thing to me in this world is not a thing but a person. That person being Madina my light, my joy, my mother. I know must people can say wonderful things about their mothers but honestly speaking I get moved to tears just by the thought of my mother. An immigrant woman coming from a war torn country, coming to this country not being able to speak the language, understand the culture and starting her life from the bottom up. A woman who’s accomplishments today include raising 9 wonderful, hard working children that contribute something positive to our society. Being able to speaks 4 languages fluently, holds 2 university degrees, her own business and above all still maintaining to be the kindest, most beautiful soul you will ever meet.

Often strangers that I have never met before stop me on the streets to tell me the impact my mother had on their life and what a joy it has been to know my mother. This always makes me smile from ear to ear; beaming and so proud that is the woman who I call mother. I have never loved a human being the way I love her, and I have never been more grateful to God for choosing me to be her daughter. So when I saw your question on what’s precious to me in my life, it was a no brainer….MY MOTHER! She’s so precious!
