There are 3 swings in the community.
One is located by the pond, one is next to the garden, and the other is facing a small river.
There is another community on the other side of the river. On this side of the river is our community. The property planted a row of willow trees by the river.
3 swings, I like the one by the river the most. Because the river is gurgling, it is alive; the willow leaves are floating, it is alive.
Sit on the swing by the river, close your eyes, listen to the nice songs on your phone, swinging and swinging into the air; the wind blows across your cheeks and passes through your ears, and then you feel that your bad mood dissipates with the wind and you will be alive.
My swing time is usually after buying groceries.
I don’t like buying groceries, but as a housewife at home, buying groceries is something that cannot be avoided. The way I think of to do something I don’t like is to use something I like to relieve and adjust.
So, I gave myself a free reward - I went to swing for a swing after buying vegetables. Put the bag on the grass, sit on the swing, swinging, and your irritable mood slowly unfolds, like a blooming flower in a slow motion.
When my heart became clear again, I happily went home to cook with my bag.
Now, whenever I want to go out to buy vegetables, I will say to my husband: I'll go swing for a while.
" swing " has become synonymous with grocery shopping, and the fireworks life is instantly full of poetry.

A new bookstore is opened downstairs. In the afternoon, I went around and saw a stack of books placed in a conspicuous place in the door. A small sign was erected next to it, which read: Stop, open the answer book, and write a "solve" for the doubts in my heart.
What does this mean? I was a little curious, so I picked up one and flipped it out casually.
Every page has a passage written. For example, "Don't worry about things that you can't control", "Learn to cherish", "Let go if you can't recite them", "It will fade away slowly", "Everything will go with its course"... It turns out that it is such a book " Answers Book ". The creativity is quite novel and the usage method is quite interesting.
Put the book on the table, close your eyes, and spend 5 to 10 minutes thinking about the questions in your heart, such as "Do he like me?" or "Do I need to change jobs?" Then put your hands on the book, turn the pages, and when you feel the time is right, open the book, and the content on the page you turn to is the answer you are looking for.
This is a bit like a mental game. Some people will definitely think this is chicken soup and nonsense. Is this a book?
I think this book can at least bring us some inspiration to solve problems. Because of many questions, the final answer is actually based on our mentality.
Instead of expecting the Book of Answers to solve our problems 100% more, it is more like a guide to the soul. It is only responsible for smoothing out those minor troubles and solving the entanglements and hesitation in our hearts.

In a small book "African Letters" that records African life, I learned that Sudan There is a cool classic car on the streets of .
Sultan's classic car is not the old and expensive retro sedan we see in the movie, but the old truck.
Why are old trucks cool? The reason is that the Sudanese decorated the car from beginning to end.
They painted colorful pigments on the body of the car, bought the license plate of the famous brand car from the french market and pasted it on the front of the car, with two pieces of leather with landscape flowers and birds hanging down from the rear, and magnificent mats were placed on the seats.
These decorations will not cost much, but what effect will they bring?
In the author's words, it means that the sultans sitting in the cab are as satisfied as emperor.
Listening to the music, his white robe fluttered, and driving long distances in the suburbs in the suburbs in " Audi classic car", " Mercedes-Benz classic car", " Cadillac classic car". Although simple, they can feel their happiness and enthusiasm for life.
A good mood needs to be adjusted by yourself. It does not cost much. Just spend some time and change your method to find happiness from small things.When we learn to find happiness, we will feel that there are fewer and fewer unhappiness around us.
Fernando Pessoa wrote a poem I like very much: Every day you don’t like is not yours/You just spend it/No matter what kind of life you live/no joy/you don’t have a life…
