This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all.
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
Meet them at the door laughing
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whatever comes.
Because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

靠耶和华得喜乐 【尼8:10】[和合本]又对他们说：“你们去吃肥美的，喝甘甜的，有不能预备的，就分给他；因为今日是我们主的圣日。你们不要忧愁，因靠耶和华而得的喜乐是你们的力量。”
[NRSV]Then he said to them, "Go your way, eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions of them to those for whom nothing is prepared, for this day is holy to our LORD; and do not be grieved, for the joy of the LORD is your strength." https://t.cn/A6PYGgaa

2019
It's been a fast year.
Went from sophomore to senior.
Everyone around me is fighting.
I'm one of them. I don't even listen to my favorite radio station anymore.
We've had a good year.
It was fun to meet a lot of interested people in the new class.
Feel the warmth of a friend
And I was comforted and encouraged.
Feel the joy of a person
And therefore no longer afraid of being alone and feeling lonely.
Really understand the gratitude and appreciations
And for that I am thankful for everyone.
Understand the meaning behind laughter and sadness
Also so in the fall also optimistically climb up
I'm of age this year.
It means my life's gears are turning again.
It means I'm growing up. My parents are getting older.
So what I want most is peace and health.
Next year I hope I can not waste the time, not ambitious, with efforts to be a better self.
