Happy Events (YSM)

“To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.

To know the pain of too much tenderness.

To be wounded by your own understanding of love.

And to bleed willingly and joyfully.

To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;

To rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstasy;

To return home at eventide with gratitude;

And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.”

After reading the poetry above, I remember this sentence: “ No matter the distance between us is hundreds of meters of thousands of meters, my heart will always be with you.” Though I am far away from home now, my heart is always filled up with happiness from home. This year witnesses many happy events in my family.

First, I am very happy that there is a new member in our big family. I have finally waited until there is someone calls me aunt. I heard of that he is a handsome and naughty boy. How I wish I can see his lovely face. May he be healthy and happy everyday!

Second, my cousin got married. She is the first one to marry in my maternal grandmother’s. Mom said that my dear cousin dressed in her dreamlike beautiful wedding dress, smiled sweetly like an angle. I can imagine how happy and excited she was at that time. Best wishes for her and my new brother-in-law.

Third, my parents celebrated their 20^th wedding anniversary. I am always proud of my harmonious family atmosphere. As for as I can remember, they have never quarreled with each other, though they do sometimes get a little angry with each other. However, it is like the thunder shower, coming fast, going faster. When I was at home, they left the center of their life to me. They took every care of me day after day. Now I am away from home, at first they said they were at a lost, but now I am glad to hear that they begin to enjoy life for themselves. They have worked so hard and burdened themselves with too many responsibilities for others, they should give themselves a rest to enjoy life. Mom said that they felt as if they went back to the time when they fell in love.

In fact, there are many other happy events in my family. I just state these most important three ones, and want to share with you my happiness. I believe that happiness is around anyone. Do not narrow it to be only the moment when you make a good fortune, get a high mark, win a game… It also can be the moment when you peacefully read a book, enjoy your dinner, stand among trees listening to birds’ twittering… Sometimes we chase after it, when it is just waiting around us. Do not ignore the small happiness in your life. All in all, happiness is not wishing for what we don’t have, but enjoying what we do possess.
