Life is like potato salad; when it’s shared it becomes a picnic.
When my three children were young, my husband Roy and I were very 【小題1】 . “Can we go on a picnic, Mom?” my six-year-old daughter, Becky 【小題2】 . “Please.” I had said no so many times in 【小題3】 months, and I decided the usual Saturday morning chores (日常工作) could 【小題4】 . To her 【小題5】 I agreed.
I prepared a few sandwiches and 【小題6】 a cooler with ice and drinks and called Roy 【小題7】 . My eleven-year-old twin sons loaded the cooler and the picnic basket in the trunk and off we went to spend some 【小題8】 time together as a family.
About the time I got the lunch 【小題9】 out on the table, Roy arrived on the 【小題10】 . That was one of the happiest meals we ever shared together. The meal was filled with 【小題11】 . We felt a closeness that had been hidden by work and school related responsibilities for so many months. Roy and the boys 【小題12】 rocks into the lake. Becky fed the ducks and I sat quietly at the picnic table, 【小題13】 God for blessing me with such a wonderful family.
That night as our children went to bed, I kissed their cheeks and 【小題14】 what a wonderful life I had. As I walked out of the room it dawned on me that even the busiest 【小題15】 could become a picnic when it’s shared with the ones you 【小題16】 . Even though the kids have now grown up and 【小題17】 from home, I can still remember how I felt that day while sitting at the picnic table.
Maybe today would be a good time to 【小題18】 potato salad, call all of my 【小題19】 kids, feed some hungry ducks and skip a few rocks into the lake. Since life is like potato salad, let’s make it a 【小題20】 .
