I am fine today. This morning I am back to morning 's qi gong class.
I dropped by to Lay Hong's shop yesterday, returning some books to her. We chit chat for nearly an hour plus. We were sharing our life story. Both of us have been experiencing the difficult episode in our life before, we have muddling through the journey.
Sometimes my colleague asked what is your plan ? I said I don't plan, but the most important thing is to have happy life every day. Life sometimes is unpredictable, appreciate what you have now. Forget the future or past.

朋友，最近，我对“同班同学“有个特别的感悟。我们这一班同班同学，不仅是曾经在课堂里一起努力读书求上进的同班同学，我们也还在一起共同上着人生一堂又一堂的课。
人越老越不只越珍惜生命也越珍惜老朋友 :)
YESTERDAY is history, TOMORROW is a mistery, TODAY is a gift, that’s why it’s called the present....
A touching piece of story....
"Today is a gift, that's why it is called the present."

This touched me, I really Love this Story.
Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families , their homes, their jobs, their involvment in the military service, where they had been on vacation.
Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.
The man in the other bed began to live for those on hour periods where his world would be broadened and elivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.
As the man in the window descibed all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the pictureaque scene.
One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passin by.
Although the other man couldn't hear the band - he could see it. In hes mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.
Days and weeks passed.
One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.
As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.
Slowly, Painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside.
He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed.
It faced a blank wall. The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window,
The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.
She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you."
Epilogue:
There is tremedous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations.
Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled.
If you want to feel rich, just count all things you have that money cant buy.
The origin of this letter/story is unknown.
你写的这一篇，让我联想到最近听到的小故事，贴上与你分享：
父亲带着小儿子在村庄不远处的树林里干活，突然记起有封信要寄出，就把儿子带到路口，给他指点说：“看见路尽头的大树吗？”“看见，但看不见村庄啊！”“你去到大树下，就会看见拐弯处有路了。然后沿着那条路走下去，就会看见几家房子，再走近就会看见邮政局了。”上天给我们指引前路，有时也是分开一个个阶段，我们不用心急，时候到了，必看见至终的目标。
Whether you like it or no, life is short, no point keep yourself angry with someone or something, instead tell yourself to smile, as you are still breathing. Just now during dinner time, I was talking with my mum about hometown's people, a number of people have passed away many years ago and I am not aware of it. So, better treat yourself kindly.
