They were a happy family: four daughters all in the same school in different grades. The youngest, Janice, who was in my class, seemed to be glued (粘) to her mother's skirts. The three older girls took the bus to school every morning, but Janice was always driven to school by her mother.
One Friday, Janice's mother asked for a talk with me. She said in a soft voice, "My husband is going to Europe on business for two weeks, and he insists that I go with him. I have tried to explain over and over that Janice needs me here. But he thinks that she will be fine without me so I have no choice; I have to go. I have told the babysitter to drive her every morning. Will you please give Janice special attention and help her? I want to be sure everything goes well for her."
I told her that we would make every effort to support Janice. I even volunteered to meet Janice at her car so she would see a familiar face. As a mother myself, I'd like to help. Janice's mother thanked me for our understanding.
On Monday morning, expecting a tearful, anxious child, I planned a special program of fun and games. I waited outside to greet Janice, but just then the bus arrived and not three, but four girls got off. Janice skipped along joyfully, saying "goodbye" to her sisters as she ran with two friends into the classroom. I walked slowly into the classroom and called Janice over to ask how the bus ride went. Impatiently she said, "Oh, I always want to take the bus with the other kids, but Mother needs to be with me. You see there won't be any more babies, so I have to be a baby a little longer. While she is away, I'll just ride the bus every day. I am five, you know."
I had a good day today. It 1 with a morning walk with my dogs under the moonlight before daybreak. It was so beautiful. After the 2 it was time for a warm breakfast 3 by some exercise and prayer. Then I 4 to the office. The warm sunlight made me 5and since I was alone with nobody else to be disturbed（打扰）, I 6along with the CD playing in my car with a loud voice and a happy heart.
My good day was just beginning, 7. I helped it along by giving cheerful 8to everyone I met. I shared smiles and was happy to have them9. I offered a helping hand to one friend and a pat on the back to another. Later at the store I 10the door for a lady with her arms full of packages. I told a 11cashier（收银员）what a good job she was doing and watched her whole face 12.
When I got home I gave my daughter a hug, kissed my oldest son on the head, and 13with my youngest son before doing some work on the computer. Then I answered letters 14to share a loving thought or two with my friends around the world. Later in the evening I spent some 15time reading a good book, petting my dogs on the head. 16I ended the day the way I started it: walking my dogs 17, and thanking God for this world, my life, and the 18 to live for one more good day.
Perhaps the key to having a great life is to live it one good day 19 . Perhaps the key to being 20 in this world is to love all we have today and let God take care of our tomorrow.
