身邊的小確幸

幸福與希望、悲傷與絕望總是在不斷交替，這是生活的常態(tài)。只是，我們的快樂閾值越來越高，也就越來越忽視生活中的小確幸，但快樂其實(shí)隨處皆可采擷。

From Nature 源于自然

A hummingbird keeps coming to my window and hovering. No reason why but it is fun to watch.

The suns rays are piercing through the morning clouds. It always puts a smile on my face seeing how beautiful it is.

有一只蜂鳥經(jīng)常跑到我的窗戶跟前來，各種徘徊。不知道它為什么要這樣做，但是看著好有趣。

陽光穿過清晨的云層。每次看到這么美的景色，我都會(huì)忍不住微笑。

From the Daily Life 源于日常生活

I got my first job！

I spoke to an old friend.

My stew came out better than the last time I made it.

A friend made too much banana bread and I get a whole loaf！

我找到了第一份工作！

我跟一個(gè)老朋友聊天了。

我燉的菜比上次的好吃。

朋友的香蕉面包做多了，于是我得到了一整條！

From Strong Will 源于堅(jiān)定的意志

My 87 year old dad was declared cancer free！

The paper Ive been working on through my whole PhD got accepted！

我87歲的老父親戰(zhàn)勝癌癥了！

我整個(gè)博士生涯一直在鉆研的論文被接收了！

From Love of Family 源于家人的愛

My daughter told me she loved me， and that Im her best friend; shes 3 （almost 4） years old. This made my heart swell. I dont know what I ever did to deserve such a precious child. Just typing this is making me deeply moved.

My dad got a job as a warehouse manager that he needed so he doesnt need to work 2 jobs and he can see me and my family more.

我的女兒對(duì)我說她愛我，說我是她最好的朋友。她3歲（快4歲了）。這讓我充滿力量。我不知道自己何德何能能擁有這樣一個(gè)珍貴的孩子，光是打這段文字就讓我感動(dòng)不已了。

我爸找到了一份他想要的倉(cāng)庫(kù)管理的工作，這樣他就不用打兩份工，也可以有更多時(shí)間看看我和家里人了。

From Praise and Encouragement 源于贊美與鼓勵(lì)

My boss told me Im doing a good job.

A student wrote a paragraph on our online class about how much she enjoyed my class and how much fun I made it， which made my week.

我的老板夸我工作做得好。

一個(gè)學(xué)生寫了一段關(guān)于我們網(wǎng)課的評(píng)價(jià)，她說非常享受我的課堂，說我的課堂特別有趣，為此我開心了一個(gè)禮拜。
