她每天都在幹什麼?

I've been asked quite often what I do every day.  Quite frequently people do ask and they wonder if I'm bored.  Honestly, at first, I was.  I missed being a useful part of society.  I had my routine like everyone else. Got up early, head to my 9-5 job, take transit, etc.  But then my life was hit with an unexpected health problem.  My plans and my goals were completely sidetracked.  I no longer have what we call a "normal" routine anymore.  I haven't had that for over two years now as everything normal to me went totally askew.  I had to learn to adjust to a new normal.  A new normal that prioritizes on my well being and my recovery.  Whilst I so dearly long for booking a vacation, for now I cannot really even make solid plans weeks and months ahead.  I can only take each day at a time, focus on here and now.  Every day I'm just grateful to still be around; and feeling well enough to enjoy even the littlest of things.  So the answer is...no I'm not bored with my current day-to-day but I wouldn't mind to fully recover sooner to get back to a "boring routine".

這是長媳婦Christina 在她的部落格Christinajourney.blogspot.ca最近上貼的短文。這次是她親自執筆,不由丈夫代勞。這篇精簡的心聲,讓我很是佩服她的睿智: I can only take each day at a time, focus on here and now(她領悟到活在當下,活好每一刻的真正意義!)這可能是累積自她那滿是病苦經歷的年輕生命的智慧,很珍貴,但也頗無奈;我是深深為她驕傲,因為不是每個人都能從困難裡振作起來的!也不是每個人都能三番四次得到援手的!她的感恩心和處處對別人的體恤之情,足見她的良善,可是那些不良的前因卻叫她身心受盡煎熬!

其實,我們每一個人何嘗不是都要 『活在當下』,珍惜每一刻!
