回家

這是去美國以後第二次回到台灣
上次是冬天的時候回來,不過覺得那次時間好趕好趕
這次是夏天回來,雖然回來的時間很久,但是覺得不是很好玩
光是炎熱的氣候就讓我有點受不了,實在不是很想出門
加上有很多不屬於"玩"的事
讓這次的旅程覺得很不輕鬆...........
很想回"家"

24 小時

在過去的24小時裡, 我學到很多人生的功課

從昨天晚上就和老公和婆婆陪著公公在醫院裡
等待今天早上公公的手術
其實, 這還是我第一次身邊有親人住院動手術
這跟在醫院等待生產是截然不同的感覺
看著老公幾乎整夜都沒睡, 好心疼喔~

六個多小時的手術其實對於病人和家人都是種煎熬
肉體的煎熬, 疼痛的煎熬, 等待的煎熬, 擔心的煎熬
生命是如此脆弱, 卻也是如此堅強

婆婆是公公的支持
老公是婆婆的支持
而我, 是老公的支持
這有點像食物鏈般的精神支柱其實是最重要的
我們需要彼此來一起扶持一起走過這個試煉

病房裡, 期待的是聽到公公睡覺的呼吸聲
那表示他能舒服的睡著不會感到傷口的疼痛
在日常生活裡最不經意最微小最被認為理所當然的呼吸聲和睡眠
頓時間都顯得非常珍貴

健康, 就是幸福
生命的氣息, 是上帝的禮物
常常禱告, 不要灰心
因為我依然相信神必賜下奇蹟

開心的相聚 Part 2

今天也是開心的一天
因為也是跟老朋友見面
從小學一年級認識到現在也真的蠻久的
上次我回台灣有一起吃飯
那時候她還是大肚子
這次見面小孩已經一歲多了
看到他們一家三口很幸福

很感動他們全家特地到台中來跟我見面
也很謝謝他們熱情的招待
還特別帶我去吃好吃的養生火鍋店:無老鍋
很漂亮的餐廳,很特別的鴛鴦火鍋
第一次發現"油條"也可以當火鍋料
台灣人好像都很喜歡吃火鍋

很珍惜細水長流的友情
very thankful for our friendship.

開心的相聚

今天感到開心
因為和一位老朋友見了面
老朋友就是不管多久沒見面,見到的時候還是很熟悉很親的感覺
更開心是她懷了雙胞胎

今天跟著她和她老公一起去產檢
第一次去台灣的婦產科看看
還看到超音波銀幕上的小寶寶們
很開心她把我當親人可以跟著他們做產檢

今天學了很多懷孕方面的新知識
也真的覺得美國看醫生和醫療保險都好貴
台灣就算沒健保也是比美國便宜太多
光是"照超音波"美國的費用就是台灣的15倍

中午我們三個一起去吃shabu shabu
吃的好開心喔~
很開心好朋友嫁了個好老公
從很多小細節就發現她的老公非常貼心,細心,熱心
讓我今天特別想老公.....

may God bless her entire pregnancy and surround them with peace and joy.

happiness

after we got married, hubby converted me to a TVholic.

our all-time must-see favorite tv shows are "criminal minds", "24", "amazing race" & "american idol". we also finished the first season of "lost". we continued season two and agreed to stop somewhere in the middle due to the millions of episodes and time consumption.

this week, hubby told me that he recorded this new tv show called "persons unknown". here's the intro i got from the website:

"it's a mystery drama in which a group of seven strangers must come together to solve the puzzle of their lives. All of them have been taken from their everyday lives and have arrived in a deserted town with no recollection of how they got there. watched by omnipresent "security" cameras with no idea who or what is behind them. their chance at survival is to rely on each other. But who can they trust in this vulnerable state - either behind those cameras or amongst themselves?"

it's like another version of "lost", figuring out who they can trust to survive. there is a scene in the first episode where a waiter puts down a plate of fortune cookies after the meal, and one of the characters spins the lazy susan, claiming that fate will decide their fortunes.

yesterday morning before leaving for work, hubby and i had had enough time to actually sit down and have breakfast together at the table. we haven't done that for a long long long time. it just brightens my day. after i finished my breakfast, there was a fortune cookie on the table and i opened it. it says "stop searching forever, happiness is right next to you." and i looked at hubby and smiled. he's right next to me.

you're my happiness. =)

a day of grace

today is a day of grace.

a friend from work went to vegas and brought me my favorite croissants from bellagio. she even hand-delivered to my office. hubby tried it before and said that it's the best croissant he's ever tasted.

it's grace, to receive those buttery treats from a thoughtful friend who remembers that we'd really enjoy it.

later in the afternoon, i went to my old optometrist to have my eyes checked. the doctor is so nice and welcoming. we had good conversation about life, church, family, and of course, my eyes. when i was about to pay, the lady there told me that the doctor gave me some discounts and also two big bottles of solution.

it's grace, to receive the favor from a kind doctor who knows that i'd need the solutions for my contacts.

very thankful, for a day full of grace.
