There are couple places that I go for food. Stop&Shop, The whole foods and M&M farm. Stop&Shop has most basic stuff that I need, like milk, egg, meat, pasta....The whole foods has food which are suppose to be better and healthier, also be unique which I found that out. M&M farm has cheapest vegetables and fruits. It also has an small Asian market inside of it. It has been there for around 5 years. I remember the earlier days when it just open.
The owner seems to be this middle age Chinese lady. I think she has a teenager daughter. I don't go to M&M farm so often because it is a little bit far from my place, but I wanted some Chinese sweet sauce for one dish that I planned to make, I went to there. I found what I was looking for in a short time and went to pay for it. When the Chinese lady came over to take my money, I was surprised. She looked so old. She must didn't remember me anymore which isn't important. I was socked by her white hairs. I am sure that she is no more than 50, but she looked like in her late 50s. She didn't smile to me, gave me the changes very fast, then back to do what she was doing.
I kept thinking that how hard her life has been? How stressful she has been? Life isn't easy for everyone that I knew already, but it was still a sock to looked at someone aged that fast. Just in a short 5 years. I remember her smile to me and tell me about her daughter in Chinese. I remember she smiled to everyone who come to buy things. I don't know what happened to her, but it must be life, must be stress that aged her that fast.
Life isn't easy. That is the truth. Money can make life easier, but it isn't everything. I remembered my dear friends Miss.S. She aged fast too, all those stress that she had. Do I have stress? Yes, I do think I have. I try not let the stress over take me. I keep telling myself that there will be a way to solve everything. There will be an end for everything, good thing or bad thing.
Once more I realized how important it is to have a health mind. The life isn't nice or fair or easy. The people def isn't nice or fair or easy either. All you have to do is be happy. Don't let your angry over take you, don't let your desire over take you, don't let all the failures over take you.
My father is a very wiser man. He taught me so much about life. He use to said to me:" when a thing reaches its extreme, it reverses its course." Never ask too much from others, never give too much to others. Life is a not fair to everyone, but it's equal to yourself. How you want life to treat you is how you treat yourself.
I just feel life is too hard sometimes. That it is sad to see people have hard time. I just wish everyone who is having hard time will have their own happiness. Hope the Chinese lady can put her smile back on her face soon.
Hope myself can find my own happiness too.
The Chinese new year is coming. That will be my wish for myself. Also, I want to wish my grandparents, my parents, Miss.S and Mr.B the best for their own happiness and health.
Love you all.
