The day before Mother’s Day, Mrs. Berry asked her students to make a card for their mothers. She passed out paper and pieces of cloth.
Mary looked for a while at the blue cloth and began to cut it. Then she her paper in half and began writing. When Mary finally looked at the message the teacher gave on the paper, she noticed something else. She felt her grow hot---she hadn’t heard that anyone who didn’t have a mother could make one for a grandmother or an aunt.
As her teacher to her, Mary tried covering her card with her arm, but Mrs. Berry gently lifted it so that she could it. Mary sat , waiting for her to say something, but she saw a roll down Mrs. Berry’s face. She had never made Mrs. Berry so .
When school was over, Mary until all the other kids left so that she could apologize . “I’m sorry for not listening. I’ll make another card you want. I’ll do it at home and it tomorrow.”
“ are you talking about?” asked Mrs. Berry.
“My Mother’s Day card. I know you’re sad because I didn’t do it .”
“Mary, that was the card in the whole class. It was so that it made me cry. ”
Mary was so that she ran out of the classroom.
When her father came home from work that night, Mary to give him the card early .
On the front of the card was a of Mary’s father, with a blue piece of cloth cut like his hair. Inside the card she had written:
Dear Dad,
I know you work really hard to be both a and a father. I want to thank you and you a Happy Mother’s Day!
Love
Mary

But then I had five lovely children: Matthew and Marvin, the twins Alisa and Alan, and then Helen. I was too raising them to grow a garden.
Money was tight (紧的) ，as well as time. When my children were little, if they wanted something that too much I’d have to say, “Do you see a money outside? Money doesn’t grow on trees, you know.”
Finally, all five got through high school and college, and started living on their own. And I started thinking again about having a .

How often do you let other people’s nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, impolite waiter，rude boss，or an insensitive employee your day?
One day I was in a taxi and we headed __ the airport. We were driving in the lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes，slide sideways，and at the very last moment our car stopped and narrowly the other car by just inches！The driver of the other car looked around and started at us.
My taxi driver just and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really . So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital！” This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck”．
He that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of ，full of frustration，full of anger，and full of disappointment. As their garbage up，they need a place to dump (倒) it and sometimesthey’ll dump it on . Don’t take it personally. Just smile，wave，wish them well，and move on.
Believe me. You’ll be more . Don’t take their garbage and it to other people at work，at home，or on the streets, Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with . The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what’s in your life. Roy Baumeister，a psychology researcher from Florida State University，found in his extensive research that you bad things more often than good things in your life. You store the bad memories rather easily, and you them more frequently.
So...Love the people who treat you right. Ignore the ones who don’t. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you it!
When you follow “The Law of the Garbage Truck”，you take back control of your life. You make room for the good by go of the bad. Have a Garbage Free Day！Have a marvelous，garbage-free day！The seeds you plant today the harvest you reap tomorrow.

It was only a few weeks after my surgery, and I went to Dr. Belt"s office for a checkup. It was just after my first chemotherapy（化学疗法） treatment.
My scar was still very tender. My arm was numb underneath. As usual, I was taken to an examination room to have my blood drawn, again —a terrifying process for me, since I"m so frightened of needles.
I lay down on the examining table. Ramona entered the room. Her warm smile was familiar, and stood out in contrast to my fears. She knew about my fear of needles, and she kindly hid the equipment under a magazine. As we opened the blouse, the fresh scar on my chest could be seen.
She said, “How is your scar healing?”
I said, “I think pretty well. I wash around it gently each day.” The memory of the shower water hitting my numb chest flashed across my face.
She gently reached over and ran her hand across the scar, examining the smoothness of the healing skin and looking for any irregularities. I began to cry gently and quietly. She brought her warm eyes to mine and said, “You haven"t touched it yet, have you?” And I said, “No.”
So this wonderful, warm woman laid the hand on my chest and she gently held it there. For a long time, I continued to cry quietly. In soft tones she said, “This is part of your body. This is you. It"s okay to touch it.” But I couldn"t. So she touched it for me. The scar. The healing wound. And beneath it, she touched my heart. Then Ramona said, “I"ll hold your hand while you touch it.” So she placed her hand next to mine, and we both were quiet. That was the gift that Ramona gave me.
