The deepest sorrow

Life Is one hurricane after another. Of all the sorrows I've known, the deepest is this sorrow...missing someone I love with all my heart & soul not knowing if they are alright or if I'll ever see them again. This is eating away at my very soul.

The weight is lifted

Finally, it's over. All of the struggle, time, and money that went into the chargest for my DWI. Finally, they were cleared. I couldn't be happier. It seemed like a long road, but with the help of my Minneapolis DWI laywer I've been cleared. They did such a great job of not only being great lawyers, but lending an ear to someone on the brink of a crisis. I felt as though I could really trust them and it really paid off.

WIth all this behind me I can focus on what's important, my children and my career. I can focus on work and helping out at school without having those dooming charges hanging over me. I feel like an incredible weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. Things at work have been going well and I'm sure it's only up from here.

Moving company Brooklyn

In a lure to find cheap moving companies, people often consider any local moving company which is novice in this field and have less amount of experience. It is always recommended to research the companies regarding the clients handled in the past along with moving experience. Any moving company Brooklyn with least experience could give you a low cost deal, however, the amount of loses you are going to bear at the end cannot make it a cheap deal.

Hiring any moving company Queens cannot be called as an easy thing. You are supposed to check so many details both online and off line to make sure you are giving your stuffs into a right hand.

Look @ my new chair!

Just got my chair back from Schneiderman's furniture and I absolutely love it! This chair has been in my family for generations, but you wouldn't know that by looking at it now! They had so many fabrics and colors to choose from, but I am very happy with my goldenrod decision and I think it works perfectly with the gold studs they replaced and it matches the rest of the decor in the room. Now I can have this chair in my family for many more generations to come

Almost TWO Months Since The New Year?!

I can't believehow fast this year is already going. March is in 2 days?! I always consider March to be Spring even though I know the first day of Spring is Aprile 21st. It's just crazy that 2013 has been flying by for me! I'm excited with how it's going and in keeping with my New Year's Resloution of starting fresh my spring cleaning is going to be DEEP this year. I'm nervous about the amount of time this is going to take, but I know it's going to feel so good once it's all done. I'll start mentally prepping myself now. I anticipate I will start mid month and maybe finish by the first day of spring.

Josh W is Incredible!


I'm amazed at my boyfriend with the conversations we've had talking about the levels of our relationship where we are at with it. He has been so respectful about my feelings and what I want and don't want. I'm not used to that.

老同学

这几天来自澳洲的老同学来访,�多年后的相聚,�再没有比这更令人开心的事了,一杯茶,�一盘瓜子,�三天内想把三十年的峥嵘岁月聊个痛快,�我们谈话速度像机关枪,�思路跳跃轻盈,�人说三个女人一台戏,�我们俩个不惑之年的女人轻而易举地唱了一台半的戏,�阵阵的说笑声让旁听的小猫乐肥露出惊诧的表情,�它一定认为主人和客人都错乱了.

五年同窗,�同学间的认识是平视的效果,�几十年后的彼此的了解就是立体的了.我们聊得最多的不是事业的成就也不是生活得失,�而是我们在多变的环境中如何调整心态的经验.�不论你是明星还是普通的家庭妇女,�中年女人的生活质量在很大程度上取决于她调整心态的功力.

遥想当年,�走出学校,�跨出国门,�青春的心追求发展的欲望像潮水一样挡都挡不住,�义无反顾地全力冲出了地理的限制,�几十年过去了,�他乡的山水草木,�世态炎凉把女孩变成女人,�成熟的女人,�不会徒劳过分地修饰外表了,�她比任何时候都更加懂得面对自己的内心.

岁月流逝方显女人本色,�在为老公生,�为儿子活了二十年后的今天,�是时候扪心自问下半生究竟要一个怎样的活法.�我们懂得,�一个人一天只吃三顿饭,�只睡一张床,�精神上的富足让我们潇洒地告别昨日的幼稚,�勇敢地承认既往的失误,�用坎坷磨练出的智慧和对生活热爱的激情去编织一个五彩缤纷的未来.

�雨中游武夷山

2007年12月26日

今年的圣诞节过的很健康,陈家三浪人,浪迹武夷山。老天爷为了让我等充分体会武夷山云雾缭绕的超凡境界,一大早就殷勤地落下了不大不小的仙露。我们在嘀嗒雨点的伴奏下打着雨伞走在了通往天游峰的山道上。仰望晒布岩,听导游给我们讲了赤脚大仙晒布的故事确实独有一番情趣。从天上下来,我们不想辜负老天的好意,踏上了神游九曲的竹筏,和雨中亭亭玉女擦肩而过,仰望大王威武的风姿。一线天的路,黑,窄,滑,最窄的地方过起来还真有些吃力。当我们站在一线天30厘米宽的石缝里,体会了悟空当年为了一线希望,在黑暗中忍耐五百年的滋味。

我们走进街边一家茶庄,性情温和的吴老板请我们品尝了三种武夷岩茶,他不慌不忙地递过一道道刚洗过的茶,让我们闻茶香,观茶色。果然红边绿叶的大红袍不同凡响,肥香肥香的,在一杯杯香茶的滋润下我们领教了武夷山茶文化的底蕴和武夷人的茶香情结。

岩茶的高雅是有名的,她根植岩石上的薄沙土中,靠吸收岩石中的矿物质和山间溪流的养份成长,茶棵不到一米高,远处看去白色的小茶花隐约可见,绿油油的茶园自然地随着山岩的上下左右延伸。巨大的山石大哥,为茶树小妹挡住了阳光,小妹自然就出落得极嫩,水灵灵的煞是可爱。

回沪的火车上我们巧遇一位懂茶的武夷人,他说真正的'大红袍'现在只有四棵茶树,年产量只有区区8两,价格高过黄金几倍,有专人把守,并供人们从远处观赏。每年的五月初,是茶园的收获季节,武夷山上下茶香飘飘,真可谓茶不醉人人自醉。

在武夷山的两天里我们有机会跟大自然来个三维亲密接触,上攀九十度的峰,下转九曲十八弯的溪和横穿白余米的岩缝。倒是九曲边的众石头给我很大启发,山不转水转,水不转人转。�每块石头的每个角度依其视觉效果都被高人们给起了美丽的名字。正如同我们看待自己和别人一样,大可不必死心眼,无论是长相还是性格,从正面实在看不下去了,可以换个角度来审视,没准美的连自己都不敢相信。

�毛老师

�

今天早上,�打开电脑,�伦敦玛丽老师的一封邮件告诉我一个不幸的消息,�毛老师昨天在伦敦突然去世了,�她得了癌症,�正在化疗,�医生原来认为她应该还有很多时间.�我眼前浮现出4个月前跟毛老师在上海浦东机场的最后一面.

�

����今年6月的一天,�我突然接到毛老师从武汉打来的电话, “小许,�我下礼拜回伦敦,�要经过上海浦东机场,�你能不能来帮我转机,�天气太热,�我怕我搞不动我的行李.”�我马上答应毛老师,�我一定会去机场帮她搞定.�中午,�毛老师托着简单的行李,�出现在出口,�虽然脸色有些苍白但精神还好.�我建议我们到楼上餐厅里休息,�温和的灯光下,�我和这位古稀老人可以边吃边聊.

�

就像过电影一样,�我们谈到过往的人和事.�毛老师这辈子很不容易,�文革期间生活条件差,�她一边工作一边生儿育女,�吃过很多苦, 80年代,�李教授先来英国大学里任教,�夫妻分居两地很多年,�她自己在国内带着儿子,�承担了巨大的压力.�好不容易后来能在伦敦跟老伴重逢并相濡以沫至今.�说到儿女,孙子们老人露出了笑容,�她的一双儿女分别在美国和加拿大成家立业,�一个孙子,�一个外孙,�都漂亮可爱健康.�从老人柔和的目光中可以看出她十分的满足.

�

她跟我母亲一样,�是个普通而伟大的中国女人,�她们可以失去任何东西包括自我,�惟有子女的成长会让她们觉得一切一切的失去都是值得的.�在苦难的环境里,�中国女人的母性中的忘我和坚忍使她们的下一代的快乐人生,�由不可能变成可能.
