    Keep Calm. All is Possible.

    Today has been quite a busy day. We gathered and gave away even more books this morning. My companion’s enthusiasm surprises me. Perhaps he has been ready for the change long before he realized himself.

    I spent some time in our garden this afternoon trimming trees and cleaning up here and there. All the bird feeders were filled with fresh bird food and I already heard some birds singing. After all was done, I burned an incense and sat on an Adirondack chair. As I looked around, I felt content and happy. Oh how I have loved this place..

    Unresolvable Matters

    This was a piece of hanging decoration for the Lunar New Year celebration two years ago. I brought it to the U.S., part of the reason was because I couldn’t find a good place for it in Kaohsiung. How pathetic was that..

    My sister texted me this evening, telling me that she’s concerned about my brother’s mental condition. She has been communicating with our sister in law behind his back for a while now. Apparently my brother’s marriage is on the verge of divorce. Recently they had a fight on the street and the police was called..

    On top of our Mom’s situation, my brother’s future is another grave concern in the family. Another unsolvable problem that’s on everybody’s mind.

    It’s a bit ironic when I looked at this hanging decoration. It’s not to say that I made an inauspicious move to bring it overseas. But it for sure is precisely what my Mom and my brother need at the current time..

    Note:『福』means “good fortune”, “blessings”, or “happiness.”
