You don't realize the blessing you have until you lose them.
This whole week I haven't been able to meet with clients, teach students, or spend time with family. What seems like the daily grind becomes what you miss the most when gone. I'm consoled by the Hadith of Abu Musa..1/4

The Hadith of Abu Musa in al-Bukhāri:
إذا مرض العبد أو سافر كتب له ما كان يعمل صحيحًا مقيمًا
"When a servant is ill or travels, what he used to do while a resident or healthy is written for him."
2/4

And I'm reminded to make the most of good times, as is found in the Hadith of Ibn Abbas in al-Bukhāri:
نعمتان مغبون فيهما كثير من الناس الصحة والفراغ
Two blessings most people miss out on: Health and free time. 3/4

Ibn Umar used to say: In the eve don't await the morning; in the morning don't await the evening. Take from your health for your sickness, and from your life for your death. 4/4
