My husband and I went into a shop that sold handcrafted items in hopes of finding a few last-minute Christmas gifts.
There was a lot
36 . Every shelf and
37 was loaded with different crafters' handiwork. As I walked through the store, I noticed a wooden plaque(瓷花金屬板) hanging on a wall. I turned to take
38 look and remember shaking my head "yes" at
39 printed on the plaque.
"Life isn't about waiting for the
40 to pass," the plaque proclaimed(宣布). "It's about learning to dance in the rain."
As I pulled my husband over and directed his attention to the plaque, I could see that he too
41 the simple lesson the plaque shared. How often in our daily lives had we put conditions on our
42 ? When we get the house paid off, then we can be happy. When things settle down with the kids, then we'll be able to do more together. There is so little joy for the here and now in the uncertainties of the
43 and thens.
Looking at the plaque, I found myself
44 to a hot and muggy day the summer before, when I unknowingly
45 the plaque's message. Light rain continued to fall as I walked out to get my mail. Water was still running
46 through the gutters(屋頂檐槽). I don't know what came over me,
47 I suddenly felt forced to do something a little crazy
48 my fifty-plus years.
I
49 my shoes and stockings and began walking barefoot through the water. It was deliciously
50 , heated by the pavement that had been
51 by the summer heat.
I'm sure my neighbors thought that I had
52 my last vestige of sanity(神智健全), but I didn't care. For in that moment, I was alive. I wasn't worried about bills, the future or any other day-to-day cares. I was
53 a gift — a pure and simple moment of joy!The plaque now hangs in my living room, a Christmas gift from my husband. I walk past it multiple times each day and
54 pause to ask myself, "So, am I
55 in the rain?"I think I am. I know I try to. One step at a time, I am learning to dance in the rain!
