The other day after I posted about being, not doing, I apparently felt inspired by my own words. You know that so much of what I share here are things that I need to remind myself of too, right? I do not have this all down perfectly. I am practicing, trying, improving each day. Some days are better than others.
在我发表了《不要急着做事,想清楚了再做》之后,很明显,我被我自己的语言所鼓舞。你知道我在这里分享这么多的事同时也是不断的提醒我自己,对不对呢?我没有把这些事全部记录下来。我每天只是不断的去练习,不断的去尝试,不断的提高。希望将来的某一天,我能够做的比别人还好。
The very morning that post published, my son came to me as I sat drinking coffee and checking my email and asked me to take him to the park to go for a walk. Remembering my own desire to be more patient, more present, I shut it all down and put it all away and headed out with my son who wanted and needed me.
有一个凌晨,我发表着文章,当时我正喝着咖啡和查着我的收件箱,我的儿子跑过来了,他要陪他去公园散步。我想起了我之前说的:希望我自己更加有耐心,更加珍惜现在,所以我关掉了电脑,把文章先放在一边,然后我朝着我儿子走去。
I brought my camera but captured very little because I had a little boy holding my hand, telling me “this is really nice, mama” and what mama lets go of her son’s hand so she has it free for snapping pictures? Not this one.
我买了一个相机,但是我很少拍。因为有一个小孩子一直拉着我的手,告诉我,“妈妈,这个真的好漂亮呀”。这个就是我为什么宁愿拉着我儿子的手而不肯去拍照的理由。
We walked. We chased. We laughed. We picked up leaves. We sat and rested.
我们在相互追赶着,我们互相笑着,我们从地面上捡起落叶,我们停下来休息。
Sure, we did something, but it was inspired by exactly what I want to be and that made all the difference.
当然了,我们在一起的时间确实做了一些事,但是这些事确实鼓舞着我,因为我才知道我想要做什么,并且做这些之后,我会发现生活完全不同了。
