My beauty, Do not sing for me
         (Maksim Gorky, 1868~1936)
My beauty, do mot sing for me

     For many women, there's nothing like an enticement of beautiful clothes and luxurious bags. They are often the choice for special occasions to show their fashion and style. But in my mind, while luxurious bags and beautiful clothes are an enticing option, it might not be the necessary option. Usually, I prefer everything in moderation.
   In spite of luxurious bags' global popularity, the question constantly comes up: Is a luxurious bag necessary? The biggest concern is bad social climate, make all of young people's goals and lifestyle are chasing  the money for that.

The lunar New year is coming soon, and a big feast will be prepared for every family in the New Year eve.
Last night my husband and I  were talking about what kind of food we will prepare for New Year's Eve before sleeping.

  How can we live with peace of mind? It sounds easy, but most of us can't, because we can't be free from external interference and think too much. 
   This morning I went to Taiwan Business Bank to make a regular deposit, but the bank teller told me I couldn't, because my bank account was opened  in 中壢 not in 青埔. It made me uncomfortable in this highly networked time. But I thought I should let it go and  live in peace.

  Tomorrow is the end-of-the-year, time flies, If it were working,  I would stretch my palm to block the time fly or make my clock hand stop,  but you know that didn't.
   Recalling this year, we started from server covid-19, but we ended under the policy of unblocking. How lucky we are, so many people die from this pandemic, we are safe.
   I went to London for 41 days to visit my daughter in June. It's a happy time when I stayed at my daughter's home, but it's also a  difficult time when I tested positive with covid-19 on 27 June. 
While staying in London, My daughter and I have visited London Observatory, O2 stadium, Southend-on-sea, and several famous London streets and shops. That was an interesting trip.
  I planed  coming home on 29 June, but when I tested covid-19 positive on 27 June, I couldn't get up the airplane by Taiwan's law. I didn't have serious symptoms because I got three vaccinations and took medicine that I brought from Taiwan everyday.  But I was anxious everyday too, because I was afraid I would get a positive test again before I would get on the airplane on 9 July.

 "The man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder"---Thomas Carlyle.
Usually, we don't scrutinize "why am I alive"? We  eat, we sleep, we work and we want to make more money, but we don't muse about" what on earth am I here for"?

How blessed I am.
因為住青埔,可以感受"五月天演唱會"的搖滾氛圍.
Last night my husband and I went to the "Mayday" concert in Taoyuan Baseball Stadium near my home. We didn't buy the ticket which sold out within 16 minutes of starting the sale  according to Yahoo News.
We stood outside the stadium with some young people and swayed with the rhythm in the cold winter night.  I am a fun of Mayday, but my husband isn't. He still accompanied me for a while and we went around the food stands and bought some snacks home. Sometimes I think I shouldn't  take my husband's love for granted.

Yesterday I rose with the sun.
Today I also woke up with the sun, but I lay  on the bed wrapped in a quilt. The feeling was so warm,relax, peaceful and calm. it seems a fish get into the water from the land .
