★ I remembered watching my grandma use an old-fashioned washing machine to wash my dirty clothes. This machine didn't have a spin cycle (甩干摸式), so grandma would squeeze out (挤出) every drop of water from each piece of clothing through a pair of rollers (滚轮).
After washing the clothes, grandma would pat (拍) the machine lovingly, before hanging outside on the clothesline to dry. She grew. up hand-washing clothes, so having a machine that did most of the work was once a wish for her.
Thinking back on this memory made me realize something important I have more luxuries (奢侈品) than my grandma, mom, and dad had when they were younger. Instead of focusing on modem-day problems, I should be thankful for what I have and who I am.
Remembering where we came from and how far we've come can help us treasure what we have today. Maybe someday we will look back on these moments as the good old days too. We should take a moment to treasure the little things in life. whether it's a warm cup of tea or the sound of birds in the morning. It's the simple things that make life worth (值得) living.
