22nd April ~ Earthday

As the 40th anniversary of Earthday approaches, I would like to dedicate this song to all the people who love our planet.

学画

学画画？这是我这一辈子想都没想过要做的事，可是去年我竟然会去拜师学画。这都是要拜孩子所赐，怎么说呢？ 为了孩子，我开始在两年前接触了绘本， 也开始注意起唯美的图与画来。我天生就没有艺术细胞，但又想要孩子能学会欣赏美美的东西，所以就让她们去上画画课。孩子的画画老师也是绘本的爱好者，所以我很欣赏她，我非常赞同她的画画理念，孩子们也超爱上她的画画课。就在一个机缘巧合的安排下，我也开始上起画画课来。两个孩子在加上我本身，我一个星期就有三天会往老师的画室里钻。我不回因此而觉得累，反而好享受着这样的日子，我喜欢欣赏孩子们的画，更加的享受自己学画画的过程， 只恨自己开始的太晚了！

作品一~毛毛熊（铅笔）

作品二~荷（水彩）

接下来我想要画一幅鲤鱼的画来送给我的老公，因为有他的支持与鼓励，我才能无忧无虑的去学画。感恩！

压力

压力可以让人失去理智，失去耐心，失去思考的能力，可以让人不顾一切的胡言乱语。今天的你就是一个承受了压力而面对以上的种种。就因为这样，所以你会觉得今天所发生的一切都时冲着你而来。说到底其实这一些都是人生里所遇到的一小部份的困难而已。

别在孩子的童年缺席 ( 愿与你共勉之)

孩子的童年只有一次，去与孩子接近吧! 千万别拿事业与忙碌当借口。父母要珍惜和孩子共处的时光，在孩子需要怀抱的时期里，多抱他；充满问题的时期里，多回答他；善於模仿的时期里， 多作楷模与示范，在他尚未找寻到生命伴侣之前，多爱他，因为这些时机都将逝而不返。

自责

人的心情真是很复杂，尤其是女人。心情的转换也太快了。可以一下子亢奋然后转眼间又跌到了谷底。是不是没有工作的女人都是这样呢？太闲空了吧。又或者自己的修养不够，才会这样心情起伏不定。不知道别人家的媳妇或太太会这样吗？ 有时我还蛮自责的。自责归自责，我大多数时间还是那样不太爱跟两老讲太多的话。原因是话不投机，虽然我知道有时老人家是喜欢我们跟他说说话，可是不知道为什么我就是做不到。每次就只是听她讲，偶尔敷衍的答几句。所以我说我不是个好媳妇。

Love with care

Any wound can be taken care of by love, but there’s yet a medicine to be found to the wound caused by love.

Thankful!

Life will not be interesting without obstacles. God give us difficulties is to train us to become strong. So, why are we blaming god for giving us difficulties? The person who keep blaming and complaining others will not be happy. We should always be grateful for what we have now, remember how blessed and lucky we are.

Stop Complaining and live the life with blessing.

Little Beauty by Anthony Browne

One of my favorite Children Picture book ...

Once there was a very special grilla. He had almost everything he needed. There was just one thing he didn't have: a friend.

He was sad. One day he signed to his keepers that he needs a friend.

They gave him a little friend called Beauty. The gorilla loved Beauty. He gave her milk and honey.

And they were happy. They did everything together.

until one night they watched a film together. The gorilla became more and more upset,

















and then very ANGRY!

The keepers rushed in and asked who broke the television? The gorilla was very frighten as the keepers said they have to take Beauty away.

The gorilla looked at Beauty. Beauty looked at the gorilla. Then she started to sign...

"It...
was...
ME!
I broke
the television!"

Everyone laughed. And do you know what happened?
Beauty and the gorilla lived happily ever after.


A heartwarming celebration of an unlikely friendship from a master artist and storyteller.

我也想变小。。。

忧郁

一直以来我都怀疑我自己是不是患有轻微的忧郁症。昨天看了两篇有关忧郁症的报导以后更忧心从从。 里头说的症兆我几乎都有，体重不断上升，常头疼，心情起伏不定，凡事提不起兴趣，更糟的是觉得自己一无是处。我该看医生吗？
