一年一度的感恩节又到了，窗外秋阳明媚，碧云天，黄叶地。孩子们玩游戏，先生看报，很平静悠闲的好日子。 前两天整理旧日的收藏，其中有在纽约雪城工作时朋友们寄给轻舟的“积极箴言”，有这么几则很适合这个节日，我摘录并翻译如下，也发表到轻舟微博里：The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things. - Henry Ward Beecher幸福的艺术在于从平凡中挖掘幸福。 -亨利比切Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. - Marcel Proust让我们对使我们高兴的人感恩；他们是让我们心田花儿绽放的魅力园丁。- 马受普劳斯特The best way to show our gratitude is to accept everything with joy. - Mother Teresa 表示感谢的最好方式就是满怀喜乐地接受每件事。- 特瑞莎修女Everything we are and have, we've received. Thankfulness is the only fitting expression; humility is the only appropriate attitude.每件我们所拥有的，都是已经领受的。感恩是最适合不过的表达；谦卑是最适合不过的态度。God has two dwellings; one in heaven, and the other in a meek and thankful heart. ~Izaak Walton上帝住在两个地方：一处是天堂，一处是在人的谦卑和感恩的心中。-艾塞克瓦藤-----很喜欢美国诗人爱默生短小精悍的小诗"Thanksgiving" (感恩），很能表达轻舟的感恩之心。也翻译分享给朋友们：Thanksgiving For each new morning with its light,For rest and shelter of the night,For health and food,For love and friends,For everything Thy goodness sends.--Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)感恩为每一个清晨和每一缕阳光为每一个夜晚和每一刻休息为健康，为食物为爱，为朋友，为所有神的美好赐物。 作者：爱默生 （1803-1882）祝福海内外家人、友们感恩节快乐！
