A very dear friend, just sent me an email, sharing a viewpoint with me: She was wondering if Obama's father hadn't decided to move to US from Kenya, perhaps, Obama was among the people burning in Kenya's conflicts, instead of nomination for US presidential election!
Sometimes, our lives are saved by others decisions! and sometimes not!
That's why parenting sometimes scares me.
How do you think?

my thrilling day in the lab
Last week, I just logged on my orkut profile, which is almost abondoned, and saw "Today's fortune" of that day: Thrilling events in your immidiate future...I totally forgot about it, and started the next day happily!...without knowing what is expecting me...
Most of you know about my zeophobia, although I used to work on dead animals for skin sample collection.Now, imagine when I was in a small elevator, and suddenly a couple entered with their huge! dog starring at me...I couldn't resist, and cried: oh...please... I'm afraid of animals...
Everybody started to laugh at me and explain: Oh..it's just a dog..., and I was whispering angrily, thank you, I thought it's an alien!
Wait, there is still more to come...
At around 10 am, the lab supervisor came to me and asked:Have you received your flu shot? Let's go together, I will show you the place in the hospital, and then we can go to collect human skin .Wondering how kind these people are, I got prepared to go out!Suddenly, I found myself at the basement level of the UCSF hospital, entering a fully equipped lab, just like the labs you see in the films for turning a human to a robot!I was optimistically waiting for someone who comes and gives us the samples;but that person, came with a dead body and left us alone to start skin separation...
The lab supervisor opened his bag, and gave me the special coat, and gloves, and just at that time I finally found out what's going on...He plugged on the horrible instrument (dermatome),which I just met in the articles before that time, and asked me to stretch the skin of the dead person...After minutes of peeling the poor person and hearing the supervisor's voice,saying to the dead: oh... thank you! you have such a good skin!!!!, I found myself sweating and shaking.He asked: are you scared? , and i just wanted to yell at him: what do you think?!
Although, i was feeling horrible, I learned a lot,and I also receive my free flu shot anyway!
As, we beleive in 3 sequence of bad events,when I came back to the lab, the third event was expecting me: " oh ..Sara, we were waiting for you to show us how to harvest the mouse skin.The dead mice are in the frig..."
I showed them my method, and I suddenly felt my zeophobia has been disapeared, after peeling the dead human body,the body of a 42 yr old man, who was just died the day before...
The moral of the story: Always trust your Orkut daily fortune!

مناجات
پروردگارا، به تو پناه می آورم از نفسی که سیر نمی شود، از دلی که خاشع نمی گردد، از دانشی که سود نمی دهد، از نمازی که بالا نمی رود و از دعائی که به اچابت نرسد...
Happy birthday to my love!
My terrific wonderful special husband, you mean a world to me.Thank you for all you are doing for me , and thank God for giving you to me on such a special day.
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!

I was thinking...
Yesterday I was thinking: last year at these days, my mind was just filled with one issue: Parsa's little surgery (that all the boys pass ,at least in Iran!)! oh.. there were also some other important issues: How many times did he asked for milk today? When was his last colic attack? How many times did he wake up during the night? Is everything ok? Does he feel cold in his room? Am I a good mother?...........
and now..!!!!!!!!!! where am I standing now? and what are my concerns right now?!!!
P.S: All of you who are expecting your babies, will feel like me just in a year!

Why I adore mother Thresa
I love this prayer from this great woman.Just wanted to share it with you:
People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centred; forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ultierior motives; be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough; give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway.

I feel sad!
When you are thousand miles far from home, when nobody feels any obligation and is free to choose you or not (Because you are too far to blame them!) , when there is 12 hours jet lag, and different weekends, and you are unavailable most of the day, you can easily diffrentiate between the real friends and too busy! ones.
I don't know how God makes some people so nice; they know how great you may feel by hearing their kind voices through the phone or reading their encouraging messages in your mailbox, although, they have never been in a similar situation.
These are the lessons I'm learning gradualy from this journey. However, facing the realities I never doubt in them before, seems to be the most difficut part.Sometimes we lie to ourselves about the quality of a relationship, but we're not ready to change it.Why we spend several hours for choosing our clothing, furniture, foods,..., but not the people we communicate with them? Why we don't respect ourselves by avoiding people who make us feel bad about ourselves?Or Why have we used to see people, spend several hours with them, and just restricting ourselves to the common greetings; if someone doesn't like to know what are you doing in your life, or how do you feel about it, why we are wasting our times this much? ( However i beleive in that sometimes we can be the one who starts a good relationship)
Even if we are afraid of getting alone, we already are! with these types of relationships!
