It was a hot morning, it was a saturday and I was at the Egyptian museum with a couple of friends...
I must have been there for at least a dozen of times.. I adore this place, I find myself really there.. And here it was.. An explosion..
No way girl, it can't be a bomb, not on the day I'm there.. theses things happen to other people and on Tv or in the news.. But it was a bomb.. I was scared, not only was it the first time in my life when a terrorist attack is so close but also the fact that in the very moment that I heard BOOOM, someone died killing and wounding others with him.. (No one else died, but until that moment we didn't know anything really)In that particular moment, people were suffering and tourists were horrified, Peace was disturbed everywhere.. and in my heart as well...
When I got home mom was so happy that we came back safe, I still can't believe I was that close to the incident, I was supposed to take my car that day, it would've been parked even closer to the explosion site.
That night, I wanted so much to celebrate life, anything could've happened that day but I'm still here. I was so thankful to God, feeling like I've been given a new life. I guess this means I should take steps forward in my life, life is short isn't it?? And who knows what's next .. It just crossed my mind to ask you all: Is the world such a dangerous place?? Anyway I tend to forget that and move on!

It is amazing how our reaction changes when we are involved in an event!
Many times i caught myself with laziness or indiference towards events that i wasnt involved in, and in my thoughts i imagine them hapenning to me and all of a sudden everything changes...
i may consider you lucky for such an experience Shamoussa!

Shamoussa,
Thank God for your safety....
I don't know what to tell you, but I think this is something that happens to make us think of our lives and where we are going. Some time ago I had a car accident and the way it happened made everyone tell me that I was lucky I was not hurt. That day I thought a lot of my life and where I was going. But then I forgot and my life kept going on. Again I don't know what to tell you but things like that happen to us for a purpose that only God knows!!!
