Distinction

In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate & the Most Merciful

I noticed an inconsistency in the font size/ type of my entries. lol! Ok never the mind.
How do we distinguish between complaining (and being ungrateful of certain outcomes) and just expressing ourselves?
Had a conversation with coliqs just now in regards to the monthly cramps that we female sometimes had to endure.
I found myself lamenting about the back aches i experienced recentlt. Lamenting so much that I suddenly thought I sound as if i was/ am complaining.

With all honesty, the back pain was more intense as compared to the previous times. if solely comparing it to the back pain experience, it is bad. but overall if you were to ask me, i am greatful that it is just the back pain that causes much of the discomfort. other than that, it was an on-off pain and it is bearable (since i was on the bed the whole day).

Ok, so how do we actually draw the line? when expressing turns into complaining.

May He forgives us for all the complainings made. May He allow us to appreciate more of the good things that comes and happen in our life and shift our focus on the blessings (and sees blessing at every "undesired - based on our instinct" moments).

Which reminds me of a surah where Allah SWT mentions that He will grant the believers distinction between the good and the bad (e.g things, behaviours, etiquette, etc). InsyaAllah, will check which surah it is from and update the blog accordingly.
