My birthday....
Today was my birthday;;). While I was at work, my children kept calling me and wanting to know when will I get home. After the 4th call, I was getting annoyed..
I wanted to to yell at them for calling me so much at work. So when I opened the door and saw the cake and room full of flowers I felt bad for even thinking about yelling at them.. I was so touched by their thoughfullness that I was ready to cry. It was a moment that I will cherish for as long as I live: .
Sara Jan I want to thank you for the beautiful gifts you send me. And thanks for the birthday wish .
I also want to thank my other friend who gave me the book, I promise to start it tonight.
Well one more year older, and I am blessed to have my family and friends. Thanks to all of You for always being there for me. Now is the time that my kids would ask how old are you mom, and the time I would joke with them and say 35 and they say MoMMM, for the past 4 years you have been 35.;)) . what can I say they are too smart for my Age...

Life....

Life !
I'll be happy when... We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are. After that, we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, when we are able to go on a nice vacation or when we retire. The truth is there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when? Your life will always be filled with challenges.
It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway. Happiness is the way. So, treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with... and remember that time waits for no one.
So, stop waiting...
Until your car or home is paid off.
Until you get a new car or home.
Until your kids leave the house.
Until you go back to school.
Until you finish school.
Until you lose 10 lbs.
Until you gain 10 lbs.
Until you get married.
Until you get a divorce.
Until you have kids.
Until you retire.
Until summer.
Until spring.
Until winter.
Until fall.
Until you die.
There is no better time than right now to be happy. Happiness is a journey, not a destination. So work like you don't need money, love like you've never been hurt and dance like no one's watching.

Funny Story..

آهو خيلي خوشگل بود . يک روز يک پري سراغش اومد و بهش گفت: آهو جون!دوست داري شوهرت چه جور موجودي باشه؟آهو گفت: يه مرد خونسرد و خشن و زحمتکش.پري آرزوي آهو رو برآورده کرد و آهو با يک الاغ ازدواج کرد.
شش ماه بعد آهو و الاغ براي طلاق سراغ حاکم جنگل رفتند.حاکم پرسيد : علت طلاق؟آهو گفت: توافق اخلاقي نداريم, اين خيلي خره.
حاکم پرسيد:ديگه چي؟آهو گفت: شوخي سرش نميشه, تا براش عشوه ميام جفتک مي اندازه.
حاکم پرسيد:ديگه چي؟آهو گفت: آبروم پيش همه رفته , همه ميگن شوهرم حماله.
حاکم پرسيد:ديگه چي؟آهو گفت: مشکل مسکن دارم , خونه ام عين طويله است.
حاکم پرسيد:ديگه چي؟آهو گفت: اعصابم را خورد کرده , هر چي ازش مي پرسم مثل خر بهم نگاه مي کنه.
حاکم پرسيد:ديگه چي؟آهو گفت: تا بهش يه چيز مي گم صداش رو بلند مي کنه و عرعر مي کنه.
حاکم پرسيد:ديگه چي؟آهو گفت: از من خوشش نمي آد, همه اش ميگه لاغر مردني , تو مثل مانکن ها مي موني.
حاکم رو به الاغ کرد و گفت: آيا همسرت راست ميگه؟الاغ گفت: آره.
حاکم گفت: چرا اين کارها رو مي کني ؟الاغ گفت: واسه اينکه من خرم.حاکم فکري کرد و گفت: خب خره ديگه چي کارش ميشه کرد.
نتيجه گيري اخلاقي: در انتخاب همسر دقت کنيد.نتيجه گيري عاشقانه : مواظب باشيد وقتي عاشق موجودي مي شويد عشق چشم هايتان را کور نکند.

Save Nazanin....

The first time I read about her was couple of monthes ago. It's realy sad to see how they are treating young girls in Iran. To read the full story click here

To read more about her:
sign the pettition to save her.



Death penalty in Iran
Iran has one of the highest numbers of executions in the world. In 2004, Iran executed at least 159 people, which placed them second only to China.
Amnesty International recorded 69 executions between July 2005 and the end of January 2006, including two of youths who were reportedly under 18 when they were executed. According to Iranian media, there were 10 executions, and 21 new death sentences were given out, between Jan. 20 and Feb. 20, 2006.There is no reason to believe that the number of executions will fall in the near future.
The usual method of execution is hanging, but Iranian law also opens for stoning as punishment for adultery and incest. In 2002 the head of the judiciary announced a moratorium on stoning. Iranian judges have later imposed sentences of stoning (see the case of Leyla Mafi below), but there is no proof that any of these sentences have been carried out.
Since 1990, Iran is one of eight countries that are known to have executed prisoners who were under 18 years when the crime was committed. Over the last 15 years, Iran has executed at least 18 child offenders, eight of them in 2005 (Full list here).
This is in direct violation of Iran's obligations as a state party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC).By signing them, Iran has undertaken not to execute anyone for an offense committed when they were under the age of 18. These treaties also prohibit the use of torture and cruel, inhuman, or degrading punishments.
The list of crimes that can lead to death penalty is long. Capital offenses in Iran include murder, rape, armed robbery, apostasy, blasphemy, serious drug trafficking, repeated sodomy, adultery or prostitution, treason and espionage.

Some recent notable death sentences in Iran:
Delara Darabi
Delara Darabi is nineteen years old and risks execution for a murder committed when she was seventeen.According to the Iranian newspaper Aftab, she broke into a house together with a male friend named Amir Hossein, with the intention of robbing the woman who lived there. The woman was murdered during the robbery. Initially, Delara confessed to the murder, but later she withdrew her confession, and claimed Hossein was the killer. She told that she had confessed to save him from execution, because he believed her low age would save her from a death sentence.
However, as we have seen with Nazanin, being a minor won’t protect you in Iran, and Delara was sentenced to death by hanging in a court in the city of Rasht. The Supreme Court upheld the sentence in January. Her lawyer has appealed to the head of the judiciary, who has the power to stay the execution and ask for a review of the case.
Amir Hossein was reportedly sentenced to ten years of prison.
Delara Darabi is currently on death row. It is not known if an execution date has been set.
Amnesty International is running a campaign to stop the execution.
