就是亂碼

* Happiness is NOT something you find,
It's something you create.
快樂不會說來就來，唯有自己開創最好．．

* Nothing in this world is IMPOSSIBLE ,
coz the word IMPOSSIBLE itself says I M POSSIBLE..
世上沒有不可能的任務，
只要用心，凡是可能．．

新年新希望，許願了沒？
不能免俗，閉眼許個願．．
但願：都有一整年的幸福．．
但是，什麼才是”幸福”的真諦呢？
今晨讀到一個簡單的解釋，
留著分享．．．

The Grand essentials of happiness are:
something to do,
something to love,
and something to hope for.
_Allan K. Chalmers

實質的”幸福”就是：
有所為，
有所愛，
有所盼望．．

Its Christmas Eve,
and I think about Christmas,
and everything it means to me..
耶誕夜，思想這節慶的真義．．

These's a song that makes me feeling about the Holiday..
有段歌詞，讓我感覺這節日喜樂的存在．．

”How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is given;
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His Heaven.
No ear may hear His coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him still,
The dear Christ enters in.．．．”

輕輕地，輕輕地．．．
一個上帝授予無價的禮物，由天使傳遞過來．．
那樣無聲無息的到臨，世人都不知曉．．
曾經因著原罪，讓我們和　神隔離．．
有耳的未必都聽著．．
今夜，感謝　神，愛的救贖，
恩典再度降臨．．
記得，分享喜樂和平安．．．

老是會忘記十二月２２日是”冬至”
還是蓄意的強迫淺意識要忘記這一天？
因為，傳統習俗裡，吃了湯圓要加一歲，
那真是叫人想半夜驚醒的一件事哪．．．
一個沒有放假的節日，是否讓人忘了它的重要？
”夜晚比白天更長”應該是極端美麗的形容詞？
不管如何，都改變不了這個事實：
今天開始，又要老了一歲　
或是　長了一歲．．．
Let's Rock_平安_冬至_

下雨的感恩節，還是要記得感謝那些生命裡，值得感恩的人，事，物．．
A Rainy Thanksgiving...
Could this Thanksgiving day get anymore dreary? It's been raining since yesterday and there's no sign of it breaking. With less than an hour of day light left, it might as well rain until dawn. This is my first Thanksgiving day away from home and away from my immediate family. My mother insisted I join her, but the thought of being bumper to bumper on highway 95 was not worth a day of turkey gluttony. Induced tryptophan or none, I've decided to stay in the city with myself..
No, we won't be attending anyone's Turkey dinner nor a pre-fix dinners in some fancy smancy place along with strangers. Just a smaller dinner I will prepare for myself...

"Living is easy with your eyes closed"... Last night, as I were walking in Chelsea, a gayborhood in the westside of Manhattan, I opened my eyes and wondered how many people are staying in the city "not by choice". How many people are spending their Thanksgiving with their surrogate city family and friends? How many have been shunned away by immediate families due to their sexual orientation? How many gay or lesbian individuals are spending their Turkey day in an alternative traditional dinner with like-minded friends? It's a sad reality to think that some have escaped to the city only to realize that holidays such as Thanksgiving will remind them of what they're missing or have lost. With your eyes wide shut, is the grass really greener on the other side?
Early on, I wanted to write a post about giving thanks, instead, I'm thinking of all the people out there minus the Norman Rockwell Thanksgiving dinner. I've a feeling I'm not alone.
Thanksgiving is an American tradition, something my family did not adopted completely despite being in the United States since 1982. We've had some Thanksgiving dinner gathering throughout the years but nothing you see marketed and packaged like on television. No, we were never anything like that. I'm not ashamed of it. Perhaps when I was younger, but the truth is, that was my experience and I've accepted it. I'm not complaining at all. Just because I'm not like every other traditional/conventional family doesn't make our family less like one. No, not at all.
Unfortunately for some, Thanksgiving is a sad reminder for many without their family especially for our troops out in the Middle East. For many, Thanksgiving brings family together. To some it's a time to patch up or catch up. To some it's just another day off. However, no matter how you spend it, open your eyes and at least give thanks to whatever you may be thankful of. Thanksgiving is very much a day of reflecting and giving thanks to all that you are grateful for...

Again, "living is easy with your eyes closed"...it can be interpreted in so many ways, even for this day. When you have found your thanks...then you have opened your eyes while helping those who listen to see as well.

Thanks everyone for stopping by :)

Have you still held hope for those folks who are always living in debts,
but still not working on thier issues...？？
對那些寧願醉生夢死的活在”卡債”裡，卻不想用心去改變現況的人，
你還抱持希望想改變他們嗎？？

For the issue, I really have something to say....
我真的有話想告訴他們的”家人”～～～：

He/she is an adult, and not your responsibility.
他們都是成人了，必須為所有的行為，那不是當家人的責任．．
He/she is already taken advantage of you and your generosity enough!
他們己經佔盡了便宜，親朋好友也己夠經慷慨，應該幫都做過了，
If you don't set this boundary now...
如果，你們現在還不忍心畫清界線，
you'll be dealing with this issue for a long time to come,
你們即將永遠都為他們的錯在背書，他／她的困境也一樣沒解決．．
and it'll only get worse....
而且，情況袛會更糟．．．．．

所以，別再寵壞／坦護他們了，
要懂得適時放手～～
讓他們有機會自食惡果．．．
在自己的錯誤中學習成長．．

好似天空也變得灰暗，
為了這場安份開車也會出事的車禍．．
為胡志強夫婦祈福吧．．．
相信有太多人流著不捨的眼淚．．
相信有太多人誠心的再合十禱告著．．
誰都不捨這對青梅竹馬的愛侶真的分飛．．
說實話，我也偷偷哭了．．
為了這二個其實不熟悉的人，
為了也算路人甲的人哭是有點奇怪．．
但是．．．
我的感動是：”真正的愛情是經得起時間考驗的．．”
可以為”真愛”哭一回，也算恩典．．
”真愛”．．．誰不動容？！

I love having you as my love,
有你在我生命中真好，
You make my day brighter,
是你讓我的每一天都亮麗起來，
I'm happy with this love I've found who makes my burdens lighter.
找到這份無負擔的愛情，讓我真心快樂．．
Don't ever leave me,
請你不要離開我．．．
I'll never make you frown,
我絕對不會讓你操心失望，
By your side I'll always be, Especially when you're down.
經常陪你身邊，尤其當你身在低潮時，我將會愛相隨．．
Even through the worst of days, I will be right here,
當你遭受最困難的挫折，我也一樣為你守候．．
Watching you through ever faze, Catching every tear.
陪你走過陰霾，陪你哭，安慰你的每滴眼淚．．
You hold my feelings in your hand,
你擁有我，我的悲喜都在你手上．．
Every single one, Here for you I will always be,
No matter what you do....
無論你怎麼做，怎樣想．．．
每一天，我都會在這裡，為你守候．．

日子過得平安，恐怕讓自己太驕矜了哪！
就怕自己就忘了要感謝神的恩典．．
這世間，什麼樣的承諾值得一生信守？
事會變，人會死．．
除此之外，告訴我還有什麼？
除了和　神定了的”永約”之外，別無分號了
這是唯一的選擇．．
經常會想起來：人的本質就是孤獨的．．
當有一天，上帝說：Time up．．時間到．．
開始倒數計時．．
親愛的家人，美麗的愛戀，都要放手．．
誰都沒辦法陪著我進入病痛，
没有討價還價的空間．．
到那時，只剩下上帝和我．．
你說：這”永約”值得預先簽署嗎？
答案當然就是：肯定值得．．．
先問自己～～這保單你買了沒？？

Life is a journey, sometimes your journey is filled with nothing
but pleasant times, BUT every so often, the boat will be rocked,
and rocked HARD.
人生是一場旅行，有時候，你的旅程看來好像還蠻快活的，
但是，很多時候，你其實是航行在崎嶇不平的海上，
而且有時那海浪甚至是波濤洶湧，出乎你的意料；

These are times where everything is tested.
Your patience, your sanity, and most of all your faith.
So just take one day at a time.
更多時候，我們是接受來自上帝的的試煉，
考驗著你的耐心，你的智慧，更重要的是你的信心，
所以，不用焦急，只要記得，每天進步一點點，就算有成長了．

This is a blip you will look back on and say:
"Yeah!!! I survived this, and how you would
like me to be now...."
這就是一種軌跡，當有一天你回頭看自己時，你會自豪地說：
”對啊，我終於熬出頭了，你們猜，接下來我會怎麼做哪．．”　

I am thankful for what people have done for me,
and I have regained much of my strength
and looking forward to a bright and beautiful tomorrow,
and to face new challenges that lies ahead....
感謝那些陪著我一路走來的人，
我己經累積足夠的勇氣和能量，
正等待著亮麗的明天，和迎接未來的各種挑戰．．．
