年轻的心

年轻的心

妈妈最近在考驾照,和一群大学生一起,每天在学校的操场上练车。每天晚上,她都象小女孩一样,向我汇报进展。言语中的兴奋和喜悦,让我感受到她心态上的变化。爸爸也开玩笑地说,“你妈妈越活越年轻,要把我这个老头子甩掉了。。。”得知他们的生活很是丰富多彩,我也由衷地高兴。

昨晚得知,妈妈乐极生悲,摔了一大跤,膝盖手臂全都摔破了。可是妈妈却开心地说,“只是皮肉伤,骨头一点问题都没有,我的身手还是很矫健的。。。”我有些哭笑不得,向她啰嗦了很久要注意安全,不能得意忘形之类的话。妈妈乖乖地象小学生一样听我“教导”。末了,我反应过来,自己怎么象个欧巴桑。。。

不可否认的,身为教师的父母,因为常年和年轻的学生在一起,心态要比同龄人年轻许多。他们的心中有各种各样的计划,学这个学那个,爸爸也为妈妈安排得好好的,驾驶,书法,国画,妈妈只要按时上课就好了。。。爸爸超过了70岁,不能在国内考驾照了。不过他说夫妻一体,妈妈学车,就等于他学了。。。就知道他是个理论家:-)

虽然我越来越象他们的管家,可是我的内心还是非常庆幸的。开心他们拥有这么年轻的心态,有着旺盛的求知欲,平和而努力地面对每一天的生活。反观自己,年纪轻轻却这么沉重,很容易草木皆兵。是什么原因让自己越来越敏感,越来越沉重呢?确实,米国是个让人缺乏安全感的地方,可是这毕竟是我当初的选择。虽然不能说“我选择,我喜欢”,但是至少选择了,就不要再三心二意地抱怨着。JUST TAKE IT, AND FACE IT GRACEFULLY。

又到了该调整心态的时候了。这些经历都是人生的必经之路,而我选择,更加勇敢快乐地走。

远离前面车,
左转让直行。
若要换车道,
回头务看清。

Morpheus 回复 悄悄话 By applying the same principle of the negative-feedback-loop circuit, my life can be less of the unwanted noises and
detours, so I can have more power of an amplifier......

morpheus 回复 悄悄话 Face it gracefully.... that's my motto for everything, not only for failures, mistakes and pains
but also for successes, joys and happiness. Try to face mishaps with bravery and welcome fortunes with appreciation.
This will improve our attitude to a new proactive level, and also our ultimate goal: bracing for the challenges gracefully.

A lot of people can give inspiring advices to their friends, but when it comes to themselves, they could not
shake off the heavey loads in their minds and failed to be good shinks of their own. I for one is a member of this army.

I think your habbit of constant self-reminding, self-adjusting of emotional attitude is very helpful.
Use the techy jargon with which you are familiar here for once, negative feedback loop circuit cancels out noises
constantly and gives the most amplifying power. I guess you would be able share the analogy here given your background.

And thank you for inspiring me. Go HPH go!!!
