WHY MY ROOFTOP BECAME MY SACRED PLACE?
MY PERSONAL REFLECTION When I returned to Bahrain last August, the weather was still okay. But as the months passed, the cold became unbearable. Even with layers of clothes and three blankets, I couldn't stay warm. One day, I decided to go up to the rooftop just to feel the sun, and everything changed.
7 SIMPLE OBSERVATIONS THAT BROUGHT ME PEACE ON THE ROOFTOP
1. THE WARMTH OF THE SUN The sunlight on my back and body felt like therapy. It was as though every ray of sunshine was releasing tension, easing stress, and recharging my energy. The warmth of the sun on my skin was like medicine I didn't know I needed. It relaxed my body, melted away my stress, and made me feel alive again. It was as if my body had been craving sunlight all along.

2. FRESH, POLLUTION- FREE AIR Breathing in the crisp, clean air felt healing. The rooftop offered an escape from the stuffy indoors, and I felt lighter and more energized with each deep breath. The fresh air, free from pollution, made me feel energized and refreshed. It's something we often take for granted, but it's a luxury I've come to cherish.

3. THE SOUND OF NATURE
Listening to birds chirping around me felt so calming, like a natural melody easing my mind. Each chirp seemed to take away my worries and fill me with peace. The gentle sounds of nature, like the rustling leaves and soft breeze, made me feel relaxed and in the moment. It reminded me how simple things in life can bring so much joy and calmness.

4. SMALL JOYS WITH MY CATS
Our cats trying to climb up to where I was always made me laugh. Their playful persistence and curious little faces brought a sense of happiness I didn’t know I needed. I found myself talking to them in “cat language,” creating a bond that felt lighthearted and comforting. Watching them explore, jump, and paw at the walls turned into a delightful part of my rooftop routine. These small moments of interaction reminded me of the joy in simple connections, showing how pets can brighten even the quietest days.

5. LIFE AROUND ME
Watching the workers on nearby buildings reminded me of the value of hard work, patience, and dedication. Seeing them start early in the day and work tirelessly to build something meaningful made me think about the importance of staying steady in life. Their efforts inspired me to appreciate the effort it takes to reach goals, no matter how small or big. It was a reminder that every contribution, no matter how simple it seems, plays a big role in creating something important and lasting.

6. SIMPLE ACTS OF LOVE I often hear my husband starting the car, ready to buy food for us or pick up things we need. He always comes back with a little treat for me. These small gestures warm my heart and make me feel loved, even more so as I watched him through the small hole in the wall from the rooftop.

7. DAILY FAITH BOOST While enjoying a cup of green tea or hibiscus tea, I listened to online preaching from pastors like Ed Lapiz, Bong Saquing, Joshua Selman, and Joyce Meyer. Their words, filled with wisdom and encouragement, felt like God was speaking directly to me. These motivational videos not only strengthened my faith but also helped me focus on gratitude and positivity. It was as if every sip and every word brought new light and strength to my day.

MY PERSONAL ANALYSIS The rooftop became more than just a place to escape the cold—it turned into my sacred space. It's where I connect with myself and with God. Drinking green tea while listening to these powerful messages, doing light stretches under the sun, or simply closing my eyes and soaking in the warmth—it all felt like healing for my body and soul.
I realized that sometimes, what we truly need is already around us. We just have to slow down and notice it.
FINAL THOUGHTS The rooftop taught me to appreciate the little things in life—the sunlight, the sound of birds, and the daily routines we often overlook. These moments, though small, have the power to bring joy, peace, and healing.
