果度有一兩條村, 我覺得個環境都幾靚

I will be taking the photos to Texas Children's Hospital today. You guys are so amazing that when I called the Volunteer Services director and told her about the response, she informed me that because of your generosity, she's going to be able to distribute these not just for the holidays, but throughout the year. Think about that: you guys made it possible so that the spirits of sick children will be lifted throughout 2010.

"love how time seems to move differently at the beach. how i can sit on the beach for hours and the day seems to melt by like honey. how i can spend an entire day looking out over that ocean, laying in that sand, eating sandwiches smushed from the cooler, painting, swimming, gathering rocks (don't get me started on the beach rocks!), walking, talking, napping, reading, looking out at the ocean some more, and suddenly the sun is starting to set and the day has gone by in what feels like an instant. i love that. all of it."

"The perfect weekend rewards your efforts for the week before and prepares you for the week ahead." -- John Mayer.

"these are words that speak to me. i see them out in the world and i capture them - a small moment of happy for me each time i see one."

"常常的習性，來自於習慣，習慣也來自於自然。我們都常堅持自己的理論，都認為是正確的一面，滿嘴的道理德行卻並非如此。 早晨是我沉思的開始，對於昨日的種種與今日的開始，有著不同的檢討。人跟人也是如此，靠著時間來琢磨彼此的個性，無論美醜善惡，都有著一份交集，二面的事情必有所因。"

「在新西蘭的奧克蘭群島對出的海底，那條好奇的南脊美鯨（Southern right whale），看來是第一次看見人類，就這樣在Brian的助理身旁打轉。不講是非，不懂仇恨，不懂害人，也不懂為明天擔憂，牠龐大身軀背後的簡單單純，令牠曾經瀕臨絕種，親手殺絕牠們的，是你，也是我。」

A year in review, 2008

About 10 years ago, I remember going to work with a raging cold. It was the latest in a series of weird little illnesses I'd picked up over the two previous years. 'I have no idea what's wrong with me,' I remember lamenting to my boss, Mike. 'I'm generally healthy as a horse.' 'Oh please, Karen,' said Mike. 'You haven't noticed how you always get ill when you're stressed? I can almost predict the day you're going to come down with something, just by looking at your workload.' I remember being incredibly shocked by this, and vehemently denying it ... until I realized he was right. And you'd think by now I'd learn to stock up on vitamins during stressful times, but that would require logic and planning on my part, wouldn't it ... ... anyway, as I type this, I'm lying in bed, full of one of Marcus' fabulous seafood stews, and about to take a good swig of Nyquil. And yes, while my current state is indicative of what I've been facing at work, the truth is that today I took the first of many steps toward alleviating my stress. And it was a big first step, too. So even though I feel like hammered dog shit, the good thing is that I feel like very happy, very content hammered dog shit. You know, in a manner of speaking.

昨日之前得到了老闆娘的「批判」，今日接到大客戶的「讚賞」，當下內心就是「感恩」二字。在這二者之間的呼應有時候真是百感交集，很多話不知如何表達。

"Met my good friend Laura today to catch up over cappuccino. It's mornings like this that make my entire week."
