And then one day she quietly died.

“The hand who rocks the cradle…may rock the world”.

Let us take a moment of the time just to pay tribute and show appreciation to the person called mom though some may not say it openly to their mother. There’s no substitute for her. Cherish every single moment. Though at times she may not be the best of friends, may not agree to our thoughts, she is still your mother!!!She will be there for you…to listen to your woes, your braggings, your frustations, etc. Ask yourself…have you put aside enough time for her, to listen to her “blues” of working in the kitchen, her tiredness? Be tactful, loving and still show her due respect though you may have a different view from hers. Once gone, only fond memories of the past and also regrets will be left.

Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Love her more than you love yourself. Life is meaningless without her …

“摇摇篮的手啊……可以摇世界。”

让我们花一小会儿时间,对那个叫“妈”的人表示敬意,表达感谢,虽然有些人当着面说不出口。妈妈是不可替代的。珍惜与她在一起的每一时刻吧。虽然有时候,她可能不是我们最好的朋友,可能不同意我们的想法,但妈妈就是妈妈!!!她始终陪伴你身边,听你的伤心事,听你吹大牛,听你把沮丧倾诉……。扪心自问,你是否曾经抽出过足够的时间陪伴她,听她讲围着灶台转的“伤心事”,讲她也会疲劳???就算你与她意见不一,也要委婉,充满爱心,对她表示出应有的尊敬。一旦她去了,剩下的就只有对过去岁月的美好回忆,还有就是终生的遗憾。

不要以为,与你心最近,你就理所应得。

爱她,要甚于爱你自己。

生命中没有了她,将了无意义……

眼前的幸福

Writing about web page http://13931470878.home.news.cn/blog/a/0101007C08C90CF47C12527D.html

一天,一个信徒请教禅师:“我是个有家室的人了,但现在却疯狂地爱上了另一个女人,我该怎么办呢?”禅师说:“你能确定她才是你生命中最爱的女人吗?”信徒回答:“是的,她给我的感觉太美妙了,她真的很优秀。”

  禅师没有正面回答他,只是对信徒说:“你现在看面前香炉里的三根蜡烛,哪根最亮。”信徒说:“亮度都一样呀,怎么能看出哪根最亮。”禅师又接着说:“你现在拿一根蜡烛,放在你的眼前,用心看哪根最亮。”信徒尝试后说:“当然是放在眼前的这根最亮了。”禅师说:“你现在把它放回原处,再仔细看看三根蜡炉,哪根最亮。”信徒说:“放问原处后,亮度都一样,根本看不出哪根最亮。”禅师笑了笑说:“的确如此呀。”信徒一脸茫然,“还望师傅指教。”信徒说。

  “其实你看到的这三根蜡烛,就好比是你生命中遇到的女人。当你把它放在眼前,用心看时,便觉得它最亮,一旦放回原处却找不到一点亮的感觉。所谓爱由心生,当你感觉你爱谁时,那是因为你把她放在眼前。其实这种爱,只是镜花水月,根本经不起时间的考验,到头来终究是一场空,”禅师说。

  停顿了片刻,禅师又接着说:“婚姻生活中,人们往往忽略了对方的优点,而夸大了对方的缺点。什么才是真正的爱?能够同甘共苦,相濡以沫,彼此包容,这才是真正的爱。它看似平淡,实则深沉,是值得一生珍惜的情感。”

  信徒听了,眼前忽然浮现出妻子为了让自己安心工作,而放弃出国深造的机会;为了让自己冬日温暖,而苦苦学习织毛衣的经历……信徒的心一下子醒悟了,他拜谢了禅师,直奔回家中。

  人的心总是因一时的迷茫,而走错了方向,因一时的孤单、寂寞而找错了归宿。其实,永远为你敞开大门的地方是家,永远为你默默奉献的是家中的爱人。

  家才是我们的避风港,是我们心灵的归宿。家才是我们一生值得用心呵护珍视之所在。

宽容更应该给亲人

我们的宽容到底给了谁?为什么我们总是对朋友仁慈,而对亲人残忍,难道这一切,只是因为我们与亲人血脉相连?

  我5岁时,她会把上山时偷的一块红薯悄悄放在我的手里;我10岁时,她会因为我怕下雨而天天背着我上学;

  我20岁结婚时,她会到处夸耀我找了个好对象;我30岁时,她总会把种的西瓜都留着,静待在外工作的我归来,直至西瓜都烂了,才不舍扔掉。

  别人说,你就是你妈妈心中的一块宝,她心中想着的,只是如何对你好。可我知道,我永远都无法等价地去偿还这分爱。

  常记得母亲挂在嘴遗的一句话:“我现在对你这么好,等我老了,你也会这样对我吗?”

  我如实回答:“我不能。”

  她会为了我想吃香蕉而走上30里路,我不能;她也会为了我想吃玉米,而种上一亩田,我不能。是的,在父母与儿女这个天平上,永远都无法找到平衡点。

宽容不仅仅是给外人,更要给亲人

  不仅不能,我们还在挑剔父母的爱。不仅没有耐心听他们的电话,而且会因为一两句牢骚而粗暴地挂掉电话,我们会像没有教养的鸭子一样,在他们眼中毫无顾忌地释放自己的愤怒和歇斯底里。

  我和网友约定了早上8点钟视频,起床时都已经7点半了,我抓了一个苹果就想跑,母亲却想让我吃了早饭再走。因为她知道我这一去,就是两个小时,而有胃病的我总是太容易饥饿。

  明明她是一番好意,我却莫名地言辞激烈,抽身而去。再回头看母亲,她站在那儿,泪水涟涟:“你是越大,脾气越坏了。10年前,你不是这样的。”

  我知道母亲说的是什么事。那一年,我在读中师,我的生日那天,母亲提了一篮子鸡蛋来寝室看我。结果,她在帮我整理床铺时,不小心打翻了放在柜子上的水,也弄湿了半边床。

  母亲小心翼翼地向我道歉,我不忍心责怪她,我说:“没事的,一瓶水而已,这个世界上没有东西会比我爱你更重要。”怕她还伤心,我接着开导,细语安慰。

  那个晚上,我和母亲就靠在半边床上,紧紧地拥抱在一起。

  从此,每年我生日,她都会提起这件事,她总说,我是她最心疼的女儿。

  而现在,母亲没犯错,我就这样气急败坏,急躁粗暴了,真难想象,要是她真错了,我又会如何待她?我真的需要好好反思一下。

  【启示】:我们的宽容到底给了谁?为什么我们总是对朋友仁慈,而对亲人残忍,难道这一切,只是因为我们与亲人血脉相连?我们必须明白,我们要对他人宽容,对他人大度、热情、彬彬有礼,更要懂得对亲人更要如此。

挣钱了,给父母送什么 1

你会追在孩子的屁股后面,不停地询问他们想吃点什么;可你会追在父母身后,天天问他们这个问题吗?从出生那天起,父母对我们的操心和照顾就一直不曾停歇,等他们上了年纪,你给他们钱、买昂贵的营养品……可这真的是孝敬爸妈的最好礼物吗?日本知名老年医学专家米山公启近日在《让父母健康长寿的31件事》一书中,介绍了31种不太费事儿就能让父母健康的方法。

  《生命时报》记者采访了中国科学院老年科学研究会会长、中国老年保健协会专家委员会委员熊必俊和中国老龄科学研究中心老年社会医学研究员陶立群,请他们对这些方法一一做出解读,教大家如何用对待孩子的耐心和细心,把对父母的关怀渗透到生活中的一点一滴。 

  1.送运动鞋。当为送父母什么礼物发愁时,不妨选一双合适的运动鞋,鼓励他们多出去走走。散步不仅燃烧脂肪,还有降压的功效,同时能击退动脉硬化、脑梗死、心肌梗死等“生活习惯病”。只要每天轻快散步20分钟,就可将心率提高70%,其效果正好与慢跑相同。

  2.送计步器。研究显示,用计步器的人心脏水平更好。一是能让父母随时了解自己的身体状况;二是可以设定目标使散步容易坚持下去。鼓励老人养成“不坐电梯走楼梯”或者“乘公交时多走一站再上车”的习惯,只要平均每天走7000步,就会逐渐使骨质变硬,防止骨质疏松,而且对瘫痪和老年痴呆症也能起到预防作用。

  3.送优质寝具。睡眠的“质”比“量”更重要。随着年龄增加,人的睡眠时间会变短,不易入睡、睡眠浅等烦恼也会多起来,帮父母挑选合适的被褥、枕头特别重要。枕头最好选择稍有一点硬度、透气性好的,枕芯内部要能产生一定的摩擦,比如荞麦皮的。此外,蚕砂、茶叶、大米都属于这类可塑形、透气性好的枕芯。

4.带父母去看牙。人上了年纪,即使感到牙痛也会觉得麻烦而不愿去医院。其实,和身体其他部位的体检一样,看牙可以早期发现一些重大疾病隐患。牙周病不只局限于口腔内,病菌可以通过牙根进入血液。这些毒素在血管壁上引起炎症,会使动脉硬化恶化,间接引发心肌梗死和脑梗死,也会增加患糖尿病的风险。

  5.送电动牙刷。老人年龄大了,给他们平淡如常的生活加入一些新鲜元素,也是让他们青春常在的小秘诀。上了年纪的人很难再灵活地使用细长的牙刷,而电动牙刷可以在技术和时间上起到一定弥补作用。和一般牙刷相比,电动牙刷还可以更好地进行口腔清洁。提醒父母,刷牙时要比使用普通牙刷减少六成力度,并至少保证2分钟的刷牙时间。

  6.送相声CD。如果你做不到每周看望一次父母的话,不妨给他们送些相声CD。笑不仅能让人体验到很强的放松感、可以抑制癌细胞的增殖,还具有很好的降压效果。最推荐的是单口相声,每个登场人物的造型、背景只能通过说书人的语调来区别想象。老人一边听,一边在大脑中组织和想象书中的场景及故事情节,这一系列过程会使处理事物形象化、立体化的大脑顶叶皮质得到刺激,既能达到娱乐目的,又能锻炼大脑。

7.送热带鱼。热带鱼这种小生物给老人带来的情绪调节作用是超乎想象的。看会动的生物跟观赏花草的意义有很大不同,观察鱼缸这个小世界里努力生活的鱼儿们,那种感叹生命、调节情绪的过程可以增加使身体放松的5—羟色胺的分泌,让人摆脱寂寞,更加积极乐观、情绪更安定。

  8.每年做两次血液检查。每年一次血液检查并不保险,很难防范恶化速度极快的癌症。所以,让父母在一般体检之外,每半年再做一次血液检查比较好。一次抽血可以检查十几个项目,根据这些数值提早发现心血管病变,有效预防心肌梗死和脑血栓。

  9.送高性能吸尘器。人上了年纪后,支气管黏膜的机能逐渐衰退,把外部进来的灰尘用痰的形式排出体外的能力也下降了,其结果就是容易得肺炎和哮喘等疾病。最好送父母一个能强力吸除细小灰尘的气旋式吸尘器,再加一个空气清洁器,帮父母营造一个清新的居室环境。

10.送应季的新鲜食品。应季的蔬菜、水果和肉类的营养价值,是一年中最高的。以西红柿为例,它是夏季成熟的蔬菜,夏季时维生素C和胡萝卜素等营养素含量,比冬季时高两倍左右。应季食品中所含的抗氧化物质也是最高的,对预防老年痴呆症、肠癌、心肌梗死等疾病有良好的作用。

  11.送血压计。血压是老人健康的晴雨表,所以送父母一个家庭用电子血压计特别重要。手腕式血压计会有误差,最好选择臂式的。现在居家血压的标准是高压135毫米汞柱,低压85毫米汞柱。老人觉得头晕、胸闷时,最好及时量一下。此外,平时早晨起床后,最好也测一下血压,以便更早地发现异常。

  12.定期送好喝的水。随着年龄增长,人体内的水分会逐渐减少,最简单有效的做法就是定期给父母送饮用水,提醒他们不要忘记随时补充水分。比如送1.5升装的饮用水,那么父母很容易控制每天喝了多少水,还需要喝多少水。夜间熟睡时,由于体内水分丢失,造成血液中的水分减少,血液黏稠度会变高,易形成血栓,所以,一定要劝说父母晚饭时喝些清淡的蔬菜汤,临睡前少喝一点水,降低脑血栓风险。

13.陪父母去高档饭店用餐。人上了年纪之后,不用说三天前,就是一天前吃的什么都可能记不得了,但在高档饭店吃过的菜肴会记得很清楚,因为在优雅的气氛下,边尝美食边聊天,味觉、嗅觉、视觉等五感都被调动起来,对大脑的刺激能让父母保持年轻。

  14.送红酒。从健康的角度考虑,红酒应该是表孝心的最佳选择。红酒中多酚的含量比白葡萄酒多10倍左右。多酚对预防癌症和衰老有很大作用,可以使尿酸值降低,还能减低患心肌梗死的风险。喝红酒时,大脑还会产生大量的多巴胺——能给人带来快乐和幸福感的神经传导物质。给父母送红葡萄酒时未必买那种特别贵的,几十块钱的红酒也含有多酚。

幸福的婚姻什么样

幸福的婚姻什么样

电视台现在正在播出一部由徐帆和陈建斌主演的电视连续剧《结婚十年》。在这”十年”中:第一年,男人和女人结婚了;第二年,他们有孩子了;第三年,为了帮他们带小孩,妈妈来了;第四年,下岗了;第五年,为了生存下海做生意,出事了;第六年,总算是有点钱了;第七年,丈夫”在外头有人了”;第八年,分居了;第九年,破产了;第十年,在那幢曾装满他们爱情的、即将拆迁的筒子楼里,两人又重逢了……也许并不是所有的婚姻都是如此,毕竟”幸福的家庭都是相似的,不幸的家庭各有各的不同”。

我们看别人家的悲欢离合,从各种不幸的家庭当中,汲取教训和经验,也许正是为了寻找那条通往”幸福家庭”的康庄大道。我们可以发现,幸福家庭的相似之处,在于夫妻双方拥有相似的人生态度和价值观念,有深厚的感情基础和对婚姻的责任感,在长久的相处当中能够做到互相理解、宽容,只有双方不断的沟通和共同的成长,才能在遇到人生各种麻烦和问题的时候相濡以沫、携手共度,即使有风风雨雨,最终还能美满幸福。

也许密教经典中的一些人生忠告,会对那些不知该如何对待婚姻的人有些作用:深情热烈地爱,也许你会受伤,但这是使人生完整的惟一方法。无论何时你发现自己做错了,竭尽所能去弥补。动作要快!找一个你爱聊的人结婚,因为当年龄大了以后,你会发觉喜欢聊天是一个人最大的优点。欣然接收改变,但是不要摒弃你的个人理念。

家庭的融洽氛围是难能可贵的。尽你的全力让家平顺和谐。当你和你亲近的人吵嘴的时候,试着就事论事,不要扯出那些陈芝麻,烂谷子的事。记住:最好的关系存在于对别人的爱胜于对别人的索求之上。无论是烹调还是爱情,都用百分之百的负责态度对待,但是不要期求太多的回报。

父亲给儿子的一封信

父亲给儿子的一封信

孩子…..
哪天你看到我渐老去,身体也渐渐不行,请耐着性子试着了解我……

如果我吃的脏兮兮,如果我不会穿衣服……
有耐性一点……
你记得我曾花多久时间教你这些事吗?

如果,当我一再重复述说
同样的事情…不要打断我,听我说….
你小时候,我必须一遍又一遍的读着同样的故事,直到你静静睡着……..

当我不想洗澡,不要羞辱我也不要责骂我……
你记得小时后我曾编出多少理由,只为了哄你洗澡…..

当你看到我对新科技的无知,给我一点时间,不要挂着嘲弄的微笑看着我
我曾教了你多少事情啊….如何好好的吃,好好的穿…
如何面对你的生命……

如果交谈中我忽然失忆不知所云,给我一点时间回想…
如果我还是无能为力,
请不要紧张…..
对我而言重要的不是对话,而是能跟你在一起,和你的倾听…..

当我不想吃东西时,不要勉强我.
我清楚知道该什么时候进食

当我的腿不听使唤….
扶我一把….
如同我曾扶着你踏出你人生的第一步….

当哪天我告诉你不想再活下去了….请不要生气….
总有一天你会了解…

试着了解我已是风烛残年,来日可数.
有一天你会发现,
即使我有许多过错,我总是尽我所能要给你最好的…

当我靠近你时不要觉得感伤,生气或无奈
你要紧挨着我,如同我当初帮着你展开人生一样的
了解我,帮我….

扶我一把,用爱跟耐心帮我走完人生…
我将用微笑和我始终不变无边无际的爱来回报你

我爱你孩子

你的父亲

男下女上

Writing about web page http://www.rainbb.com/u/9/archives/2006/98.html

——感婚恋中男女的地位

  大概要托女性解放运动的福,使得现在的大多数恋爱,婚姻中的女性占据了重要的位置,呵,贴切一点应该是男下女上。
  怕老婆的比比皆是吧,让男友在楼下等上一两个小时正常吧,好可怜的男人们哦。
  这究竟是怎么一回事,男尊女卑的时代过去之后,男下女上就出来了,好像没有经过平起平坐这个阶段吧。从何时开始,男与女这两种性别开始了互相嘲讽,互相攻击,不眠不休的唇枪舌战,大有决战紫金之颠、分王分寇的气势。
  对待不相关的人也就算了,当然这世界上有讨厌的人必须抨击,我只想感慨一下婚恋中男女的地位。
  
  关于怕老婆,许多男人都解释了:因为爱,不忍心,让着她。许多女人也都明白男人如果动手了,女人是无力抵抗的。既然已经知道了这一点,那么应该是很恩爱的吧,女人继续着自己小女人的梦,男人继续着温柔的退让。
  可是,丈夫偶尔回来晚了,他道了歉,你又明知他只不过是跟同事打会儿牌而已,为什么能让他在寒风中站在门外几个小时,不给开门呢?为什么明知男人爱点面子,却非要在人前对他发号施令呢?为什么明知道他懒一点,却坚持他给你洗衣服,且振振有辞“家务共同承担”?为什么一吵架就拒绝他靠近你?
  一点都不心疼吗?他是你的爱人呀,是你要共伴一生的最亲的人呀,怎么忍心这样的为难他?
  不要计较那么多,夫妻没有隔夜仇,没有什么事情是和爱人沟通不了了,因为是爱着的,说他两句,小生气一下,适可而止就行了,没必要一定分个你对我错的,在老公面前撒个娇,就什么都有了。
  
  关于虐待男友,许多人都经历过,吵架后非要他先道歉,让他为你做这做那,我们好像是高高在上的公主,他们则是奴隶?晚上谁先打电话给对方不都一样吗?非要看着他在外面淋雨,挂他几次电话才显得我们的尊贵?
  浪漫一定不要过火了。生活中偶尔制造一点波澜,平添几分情趣声色,但是,一定要把波澜控制在自己能够掌握的度里面,不然,就惨了哦。
  我们,这些小女人,小公主,在心爱的男人的呵护纵容下张狂,变本加厉。最爱的人,伤的却是最深。在我们的倔强中,爱情就会渐渐走远。
  好好珍爱你的爱人吧,百年修的同船渡,千年才修得共枕眠呀!
  希望男男女女都把性别之间的争论仅当作自娱自乐,毕竟,人类就只有这两种性别。千万不要真的闹的仇深似海一样,毕竟,人类也只有男女这两种性别,要互相依存的呀!

Insomia

unhappy faceI have been suffering from insomia for quite a long period.

Browsing the blogs, I found some tips (by Hannah Jamieson). Here they are as follows:

1. Avoid caffeine in the afternoon/evening – it can disturb some peoples sleep.
*I totally avoid tea and coffee now so this one does not apply me.*

2. Have a hot bath an hour before going to bed (or a shower). This raises your body temperature and then lowers it in such a way to induce sleep.
*I normally have a shower in the morning, but from today will give it a try to have it in the evening instead.*

3. Have your room dark, and well ventilated with a window open. It is best to have fresh air around your head with your body warm.
*Though spring is here now, it is still a little chilly in the evening to have windows open. Will try this in the summer time if my sleeping problem is still not solved by then.*

4. Establish a ‘winding-down routine’. Stop working at least an hour before going to sleep – this stops your mind being too overactive to sleep.
*I guess thinking of the work when going to bed is the main reason to cause my insomia. Sometimes if some tasks are not finished within the day, I always think them at home and plan them for the next day. I hope that I could gradually get rid of this bad habit.*

5. If you go to bed and can’t sleep, read a book until you feel sleepy!
*This is a good one. But to me it is a newspaper reading instead of book reading. I did find it very useful when I found out my sleeping problem. For a period, I kept reading the newspapers which did successfully make me forget the work. So I should really keep doing it. Just remembering to buy newspaper everyday is difficult.*
