Jumuah Mubarak and Gratitude Lists

Asalamu Alaykum folks! Jumuah Mubarak!

 I hope you have a great and wonderful Friday to start zee great and wonderful weekend inshallah. For now LFFM will be posting Gratitude lists every Friday. A gratitude list is a list of all the things one can be grateful for. I wrote my first one for this blog here. It is an amazing tool to realize all the blessings we have and also a mood lifter, I try to do them when I am feeling less awesome haha.

Today I want to introduce you to an amazing woman named Seresity who not only wrote a list but has allowed us to read it. Thank you for for being our first guest submission Seresity!!! 

If you'd like to be featured on our Gratitude List Friday, refer back to this post for instructions and send your submission into furiouslyfabmuslima@gmail.com.

Enjoy Folks!

p.s. Giveaway Announcement will be pushed later today inshallah :)


Hello to all readers,

I'm Seresity, tumblr-er of Love to Live, Live to Love blog regarding love, marriage, self and God. I'm an avid reader of this blog because Furiously Fab Mama is exactly *Furiously Fab* Mama ^___^. (Can I hear an amen for that now! *applauding!*)

I thank Furiously Fab Mama for giving me this chance to share my gratitude list. 

I hope this will help you about your 50 things so we can all feel inspired or at least remember to thank some of our under appreciated things in life from it. ^_^
