Meditating--Dhikr

I have been meditating, use "Al-Hamdulilah" as a focus word for the past several weeks. I think it has helped me in my spiritual life. Giving thanks to God for all the things He has given me is a good way to start the day after saying morning prayers. I didn't meditate this morning because Ernie was up early and had to go out, but I have been meditating for 10 minutes after Fajr. Today I have a migraine and missed Qi Gong, but hope to get to the CASA open house at 1 p.m. I always have such good intentions but it's hard to get to do the things I want to do. I have been writing most of the morning. I just felt I needed to. I need to focus more on Islam and my school program and stop dwelling on the past.
