矽谷忙媽, 生活紀錄!

朋友傳來的東西, 覺得很有用處, 與大家分享. 不過我的重點不在美味, 而是在健康.

九月是我們搬到新居的第二個月...

搬到新租屋處, 空間小不是問題, 但是濕氣和霉味, 真是忍受不了...

七月底才驚魂甫定, 確定不用面對醫療的種種繁瑣和壓力, 就開始八月忙碌的搬家...

今年的生日是我這一生最難忘的....

今年一月貼的一篇文章, 現在因為更深入的接觸, 覺得有必要在資源方面做一些更正. 謝謝大家.

我們華裔現在對於精神心理疾病的面對態度, 越來越開通了...

重新步入職場的第一份工作, 是一份半職的非牟利組織計畫.

每一年做的例行公事, 到了今年卻是一件要去"面對"的事...

I read an article from MSN Health & Fitness. Just quote some of them to share with you.

Having few regrets

Often quoted in the literature on death and dying are the tenets in The Four Things That Matter Most, by Ira Byock, a medical doctor who professes the need for a dying person to express four thoughts at the end of life:

• I love you.
• Thank you.
• I forgive you.
• Forgive me.

This supports the idea that, for many people, a good death requires ending life without unfinished business, and with reconciling damaged or broken relationships when possible.

經過評省篩選後, DD今年暑假會去參加"全加州音樂教師協會"的年會, 並將於七月在 Santa Clara City Convention Center 表演.

她的音樂老師寫email恭喜她, 不只連著三年都有此殊榮,她這次還是從 Level5 直接跳級去考 Levle 7. 並附上在上課時練習的一個片段給我們, 在此與大家分享.

大家如果覺得DD彈得還不錯, 就請在Youtube 評分點擊最右邊的第五顆星, 鼓勵一下吧!

Our head of household has been selectivly laid off for almost 6 months because I don't want him to station in Japan. So, I was very busy for all kinds of adjustment we had to face together as a family.
We tried to sell our house during Feb, Mar, and Apr. Unfortunately, there is no decent offer.

But, I felt blessed that God is faithful. I am lucky to have many true friends surronding by my side.

I got supprised that my DD got her school vice principal's recommendation and choosen to attend People to People, World Leader Forum this coming fall in Washington D.C.

I even got another supprised that my DD is going to receive Talent Search Awards from Johns Hopkins University for her achievement.

While we are approaching the end of school year, I felt relief that I had made it for the past 6 months(to be). And I am looking forward for the new chanllenge to come.

Transformation and growing pain is inevitable. If I want to build it high, I have to start it low.I am going to writing down my ups and downs in my cocoon life stage.
