When I followed my head instead of my heart, it likes taking the right turn,
but looking at the wrong road. For some foresight of people,
smartie would suffer because of being too clever. But it's so hard being dumber.
We would be strong enough to forgive people, but not stupid enough to trust them again.

A scar is never ugly.
That's what those scar-makers want us to think.
A scar doesn't form on the dying.
A scar means we survived.

No one falls in love by choice, it's by chance. No one falls out of love by chance, it's by choice. We'd fall in love many times with different people, but can't fall in love the same way twice. Sometimes, people drift apart, not because of any particular reason, we just grow up...

Love is a gift you can give anywhere every day.
Love, like sunshine, warms every moment, brightens every day.
When there's love in your heart, it just naturally spreads to others.
Take love when it comes, and rejoice. Take happiness when it comes, and revel in it.

Love grows in happy hearts.
To be lovely, be lovable......

Everything is under the certain track.
凡事都行在特定的軌道上..

New season's arrived,
cuz something's changed,
still something oldness remains.
季轉,有些事或許被改變了,但仍有些事保留原貌..

People come, people go,
but those who you've loved
will be left in your mind,
even though you don't see each other often,
and it would be just a plane-ride away,
if you're lucky enough. ...
有些人走近,有些人離開,
那些曾經愛過的人,就算不常見面...
一樣會烙印心底..
如果幸運,一張機票就能解相思之苦..

They may have held your hand for only a while,
but they will hold your heart forever..
或許只是片刻相逢,卻能永生難忘懷..

Nothing could get it changed...
有些事,誰也沒辦法改變...

面對挫折,
不逃避,
不欺瞞,
不為過錯找藉口,
總有一天:你肯定會是贏家..
If you don't quit,
and don't cheat,
and don't run home when trouble arrives,
you can only win.

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.

一個夜晚,他做了個夢。他夢見和 神並肩在海灘散步。他的一生像戲劇的場景,一幕幕劃過天空。他留意到,每個場景都有兩副腳印在沙灘上:一副是屬於他自己的,另一副是 神的。

When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.

當最後一個場景在他眼前劃過,他回頭觀察身後的那些腳印。他發現到沿途走過的路程中,經常袛賸下”一副腳印”存在著。他更發覺,這情況總是發生在~當他人生低潮和悲傷的時刻。

This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it.

這讓他困惑,於是他請問 神,到底怎麼回事。

“Lord, You said that once I decided to follow You, You'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints.
I don’t understand why when I needed You most You would leave me.”

”神啊,您告訴我,袛要我決心追隨您,您就要和我同在。但是我發現,當我走在苦難的路程,卻袛有我單獨的一副腳印!我實在不明白,為什麼當我最需要您的時候,您卻遠離了我!”

The Lord replied, “My son, My precious child, I love you and would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I
carried you.”

神就回答他,”我的兒子,我珍愛的孩子啊,我是這樣愛你,我絕對不會離棄你。當你生命路程中經歷苦難折磨時,你所看見的那”一副腳印”~~就是我背著你往前走留下的足跡啊!”

從來沒想過這是中國的第4705個年?!
無論如何,只要往前看,不必回頭想,
舊事己過,眼前全是新氣象..
不管過的是中國年,或是台灣年..
總也免不了要說點應景的話:

Light This Year with Happiness.
願新年幸福滿貫
Good Fortune,Good Luck and Prosperity.
幸運,財源廣進,福祿雙全..
May your new year be just as you desire to be...
願大家都過一個心想事成的好年..

對某些未婚/失婚/的人來說,情人節真有點教人不得安寧哪!

Valentine's Day is like herpes: just when you think its gone for good, it rears its ugly head once more....
每年過節,都要被再度碰傷痛處;就像”出疹子”一樣,當覺得快消了的時候,一轉眼它又冒出頭來..

Yes, it's that special time of year when chocolate manufacturers and greetings card companies encourage you to demonstrate the extent of your fondness in cold, hard, cash on February 14th.
每年的二月十四日,正是一年一度,巧克力工廠和卡片公司大發利市的時段;他們絞盡腦汁教你如何砸你白花花的銀子來表逹你的”愛”..

BUT...真的要讓過度商業化的方式來引導我們過節的嗎?

表逹愛情不應該是:”春季或冬季限定”,也不是”限量發行”..
應該是365天24小時,全年無休的啊..

怎樣過情人節?或許,我們也有另類選擇?!
明年的情人節,讓我們也來寄一張:Anti-Valentine card

上緊發條,調節時間正轉..
新年總有新盼望,是否真正觀想心靈內在?
觀想什麼才是真正想要的?
成長要付代價,苦樂參半..
但是,至終會明白..
一切都是值得等待...
Starting the new year time all up,
twisting the knob clockwise.
This is a time for me to look deep into my heart and soul,
and see what is really there.
Growing is never easy,
and sometimes can be very painful,
but will be worthy of my continued efforts....

* 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...

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..

  • 永約

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...

說來慚愧,這些年來書是讀了點,
但是心智並沒有跟著長進..
愈來愈自閉,愈來愈怕和陌生人說話..
原本是那種天生有表現慾的人,
也忘了到底什麼時候開始,好似變了性格..
沒事不開口,可以少說話我就省點話...
竟然還有新來的進同事說我:沉默寡言..
怎麼會這樣,自己也搞不懂...
也只有上帝知道為什麼了哪..

必須承認經歷這些年的”生離死別”
讓自己學會了凡事要保留一些;
作風要保守一些,反應更要低調一些,
我相信,在上帝跟前,人是絕對軟弱的,
也惟有承認自己的不足,才能削減內心的驕縱吧!

季移,中秋又近了..
有點怕過節,因為傷痕未乾,心還有點痛..
但是,日子一樣要好好過下去,這是對上帝的承諾..
 
承認自己的軟弱之後,
上帝應該會給我一點獎賞..
什麼獎賞最好呢?就讓我更謙卑..
讓我平安過節..

****(The author unknown) 
原作者不詳,我做了些中文翻譯...

You,
who you are,
not what you do, say, or act out.
Just you.
你就是你,無關你所做,所言,所形為外..

Until one day when what you do will reflect who you are.
And who you are will be seen in what you do.
And the world will finally know what I've known all along.
直到有一天,你的所作所為,會反映出真實的你..
你真實的自我,會讓人清楚看到你的作為..
到那時,世間人就會明白為什麼我一直為你守候...

But until then...
I will care for you.
I will worry about you.
I will hope the best for you.
I will pray for you.
I will trust in you.
I will root for you.
到了那個時候,我將更關心你,為你煩憂,
為你獻上最深的祝福..
為你禱告,全然信任你,為了做你的根基..

Because I know one day I will love the things you do and don't do,
the things you say and don't say,
the decisions that you make and don't make.
But most importantly, I'll still love you for who you are.
And to me that is the logic of love.
因為我明白,有一天..
我會愛你的所作所為,
我會愛你所說的任何一句話,
我會愛你所做的所有決定..
但是,更重要的是:
我會更愛你,因為你踏實的"做你自己"..
這就是專屬我的”愛情邏輯”
