I was so happy to find out that I have 2 followers in my blog although I don’t understand if they’re any special meaning of the word follower in blog language. It reminds me the scene I saw in front of my car one springtime morning. The mom goose walked across the road in from of my car with 4 ‘followers’ baby geese. The mom goose walked in front as the leader and occasionally turned her head to make sure the babies are following her safely. The babies just follow the footprints of their mom. I was touched that day.
As a mom, I have to walk firmly in the path of life. Even across the dangerous road full of traffic, my babies are more important. It is a mom’s intrinsic quality to take care of them no matter they rest relaxingly near the pond of water, or crossing the dangerous road full of traffic. Many people they are not willing to have kids, it is because they do not have a sweet childhood. Many people they are not willing to get married, it is because they do not see any close relationship from their parents. Many people they do not take well care of their kids, it is because they do not respect life. There is news saying the parents kill the kids prior to suicide because they love them and don’t want them be orphans. Death is nothing to be fear, but how to face daily challenge in our life needs real courage. Otherwise, they have less wisdom than the mom goose.

Be Patient
Somtimes i think people writing in the blog is really like writing a diary . No one will look at it and just a way to express yourself or drop down somthing you want to keep in mind.
As life goes by, so many ups and downs, we are numb sometimes. We forget life is appreciating what is on the way rather than just looking forward for something. We forget to take care of a lot of things beside us.
We look for excitement, quick feedback and immediate result. We forget the art of waiting. In the period of waiting, it brings expectation, hope and longing for. Actually it is the best period of time. When we get there or what we want, the happiness might not last long and we start expecting another thing. Maybe this is the sign of present generation.
The best waiting time for a mom is watching the gradual growth of her kids. If she has more than one, she can see different kinds of flower blossom into different types of beauty. This teaches a mom be patient. I think all the mom will say, if this comes once again, i will drop down all the minor things of her kid's growth in her blog.

Zoo
My daughter phoned me so many times because she wanted to tell me that she is enjoying going to the zoo with her friend. It must be a good weather and good mood for her. I ought to be happy for her getting a time to be relaxed and someone accompany her. Yet, I do not understand why I have a sense of mix jealous and upset feeling. Someone stole my daughter away from me. She is no more close to me than to him. I laugh at myself for this funny feeling. Isn't it what I wish her life ought to be? Maybe it is a kind of empty nest syndrome.
On the other hand, I am so glad she has a child like heart to go to the zoo than other places cannot reveal to others. Thanks God. He gave me two girls I am proud of, not only their attitude towards their careers, but also strong characters and honest personalities.
Away from home since young, they met different kinds of 'animals' in the society. They have to learn how to identify, whether these are kind cute rabbit, giraffe or cunning and cruel wolf and tiger in the society of zoo. They have to learn how to protect herself since mother cannot protect them forever.

Water
Today is Canada Day. I went to swim with grandma. Her body is painful all the time especially the rainy days. However, in the water, she can walk like wearing high heel shoes, run or even jump. I remember I know and studied about water since very young. Every level let me know more about it. From grade 1, I know I can drink, wash with water. G.3-4 the cycle of water amazed me the wonder of the Creator.
IN high school, when I know how precious water is in deserts, I dare not to waste. There are so many places in this world, people live without clean water to drink, nor accessible water to use; I feel I am luckier than many people are. A thankful attitude usually comes from a deeper thought.
We can make the water dirty, colored, but when it evaporates, its purity is always there and nothing can attach it. Muddy water does not mean water itself is dirty, when the situation becomes still, mud and water can be separate. Unchangeable sparkling quality is always there.
At the same time, it can mix with any other things to become vinegar, soy sauce, wine, fruit juice, bleach, shampoo etc etc. Water just like the Chinese said as a 'gentleman'. It can mix with anyone but always be itself. I think it is very important for us to be like that to keep various types of relationship in this society.
Today, when I see grandma's pain free smiles in the pool, I respect its floating ability nature to help my old parent.
I admire water since the more we know it; the more we love and respect it. Shall I have the same characteristics as water? The more people know me, the more they love and respect me.
