太久沒寫,我來贖罪


最近收到大家常常轉寄一些圖文,用一些簡單的小故事講述一些簡單卻常常被人遺忘的道理。
Recently i have received some picuters forwarded by friends, using simple little stories to tell about simple but easily forgotten lessons.

幾張圖中的藍色那張,我陸陸續續收到了好幾次,每次看到了,總會征忡良久。人長越大,越喜歡把事情複雜化;就像前一陣子買的,關於色鉛筆畫的書,12個基本色,染出千變萬化的可能。
Among these pictures, i've received the one about "blue" for several times, with every time, it makes me think. The more we grow, the more complicated we make things appear; like the color pencil sketch book i bought some time ago, 12 basic colors mark out almost everything.

未嘗不是好事,但是常常忘了最初。
Should be a good thing, but we sometimes forget about the very first beginning.

有時候會很可惜。小時後夏天在艷陽下舔著父親買的橘子口味的冰棒、冬天在棉被裡跟著母親一起看電視播的黑白片;總覺得那就是全世界的幸福...怎麼長大了幸福那麼難找?
Sometimes i wonder. When i was a child, licking the orange flavored lolly ice-pop dad bought under the summer sun, or laying under the quilt with my mother infront of the black-n-white tv during winter nights...those moments i seemed to have all the happiness in the world...so how come it got so hard to find that joy after i grew up?

然後,發現是自己對幸福的定義變了、擴張了;人長越大,越容易貪心。
Then i realized, it's my definition to happiness that has changed, expended...the older we grow, the greedier we become.

當然,這只是謙卑的、縮在電腦前發呆的時候,我的想法。起床刷牙洗臉後,我一樣要衝出家門擠上公車,殺進辦公室去奮鬥累積銀行存摺裡少的可憐的,換得"幸福"的本錢。
However, this is just a thought i have when i humbly sit in front of my pc and think of all this nonsense. after i get up, brush my teeth, and wash my face, i just as well have to head out of the house, squeeze myself onto the bus, rush into the office and fight and struggle for my salary, earning what it takes to gain whatever happiness means.

或許不該說幸福可以用錢換得。
Or maybe we shouldn't say that happiness can be gained thru money.

走在街上,對著身邊的人說"我想吃糖葫蘆",然後滿街晃來蕩去尋找的時候,其實心裡已經嚐到糖衣的幸福滋味。即使,短暫的一閃即逝。
When walking down the street, telling the one beside you that "i wanna have some sugarcoated snack", and then walking up and down to look for it, at that time, u could actually taste the sugarcoated sweetness of hapiness within the heart. Even for a very short moment.

老了,開始明顯的語無倫次。 ^-^
I'm getting old, am starting to talk nothing but nonsense. :)

很想念幸福很簡單的時候認識的朋友,即使你們遠在天邊。
很感懷幸福已經不簡單的時候認識的朋友,因為你們就在身邊。
謝謝你們,玫子今年不寄聖誕卡,但一樣送上滿滿一整年的幸福願望,希望你們都平安、快樂、無恙。
I miss the friends i've known when hapiness was so simple, even if u are far away.
I think of the friends i knew when hapiness wasn't so simple, because u are here with me.
Thank you, this year i wont send out Christmas cards, but I will just as well send you a full year of happy wishes, hoping you are all safe, merry and sound.
