Most of the time I found myself quite satisfied with the simple life we have been living. With the kid out of the nest, life is now even simpler. I don’t have to cook so often, or if I cook, it is just for two of us, with one VIP member off my mind.
A crisp morning in the backyard with a book, a hike among tranquil hills, a song of my singer would normally suffice. I am not a person who hankers over luxury or luxuriant life style, and for a long time I have been proud of myself of being a non-material woman.
A friend at my age shared in his moments a set of pictures and two videos from the Sunday’s “MayDay Concert” (a popular band in Taiwan, not my cup of tea). Looking through the pictures and the brief videos studded with starry lights, I can imagine how spectacular it would be to be on site for live.
Considered myself a pop song fan, I have never in my life been to a formal concert, always thinking that it would be a hassle or too much to go with the crazy people, singing along with their idols on the stage, loud and to tears. Always think that I would enjoy more the moments of listening to the songs in solitude, with earphones that shut me off from the reality, when music carries me back down the time tunnel, to the old days with the nostalgia flooding all over the memory.
But for once or twice, I guess life could be spent as extravagantly as going to a live concert. Squeezed amid the fans, you let yourself being carried away by the tide, echoing with exuberant crowd—your love and passion towards the music are fueled like raging fires…...
But will the fires eventually die down before they diminish to ashes?

回複 '暖冬cool夏' 的評論 : One of the symptoms of PF is heel pain. Just keep that in mind even you think it's not.
> I am actually a strong believer in fate.
I also believe that one creates his own fate. But regardless ... embrace it.

回複 '7grizzly' 的評論 : Thank you my friend for caring. At beginning it is the whole right leg for no good reason, but now it is the hell(腳後跟) only, different from yours(I just googled it). I guess it has nothing to do with hiking (or walking too much). It was better yesterday, but today somehow the pain comes back. I will keep an eye on that closely by myself.
I am actually a strong believer in fate. It is the fate that brought me here, and I enjoy most of the time. And also thank you for reminding me of "spiritual over material". I need that! Thank you again, my friend!

and you should be proud. Remember what 楊絳said? "spiritual over material."

Where does it hurt in your foot/feet? If it is plantar fasciitus, I have the cure. I fixed mine.
My philosophy is to love your fate, whatever it is. Amor Fati.
你的這篇文章寫得很理性,很中肯,昨天我看到評論差點要跳出來替你討公道,想想你這麽宅心仁厚的人,也要遭人攻擊,後來想想不理睬是最好的。今天看到你這樣處理,覺得非常好,一句關評論,不用跟他們多費口舌,在氣勢已經壓倒他們了,我以後也學這一招。我常跟人說的一句話,就是人家一拳打過來,你不接,那拳就是打在空氣裏,一點威力都沒有了。
我結婚時拍了一些照片,拍得也不好,但沒有婚紗照或那種藝術照。每次回國都太匆忙,下次看有沒有機會補吧,不過現在的PS技術再好也無法拍出當年的模樣。向前看。
謝謝迪兒來看我,問安,並感恩節快樂!
現在也不老,照相又方便,趕緊和LD多照幾張。挑出好的放大,以後絕對不會後悔的。
你看我倆真是難姐難妹,我上周爬山時傷了膝蓋,這個周末不敢爬山了。也不知聖誕滑雪時能不能恢複。我媽一直反對我爬山,說是對膝蓋不好。我其實有感覺的,專門買了護膝。結果讓我媽說著了,這麽早就出問題。
感恩節快到了,女兒回來吧。我要接待幾個朋友的孩子,還要開個Party。要開始發愁做飯了。

問好暖冬。
感覺中英文寫的時候是不一樣的思維,欣賞!
子喬快點出文,土豆也要送溫暖去子喬家。:)
土豆結婚時沒拍任何婚紗照,也沒有宴請,什麽也沒有,
有了今天。
泡好茶讀書,別忘了叫老公端盆熱水來伺候姐姐泡腳,要不然便宜他了,
:) :)
