5个小时的车程，昨天上午11点回到家中，曾经期待了很久的三天小长假告一段落。
在平凡的日子中，我们总是有不断的期待，而我们的简单生活也正是因为这些美好的期待而让人向往。
妻子在车上告诉我，在送我们下楼的时候，外婆落泪了，看着让人很难过。
说出这些话的时候，妻子的眼眶也湿了。
我安慰道，外婆肯定是因为我们的离去而分外的不舍，年纪大的人肯定喜欢儿孙们都在身边热热闹闹，虽然忙一点，但是心里非常踏实。我们走了，虽多了一份清静，但少了一个可以谈心的人（她的女儿），心中自然是难过与不舍。
对于我们而言，离别何尝不是一种隐隐的痛。我们渴望相聚，但是最终一个大家庭还是要散开来，各自过自己的小日子。所谓合久必分，分久必合，在一个大家庭中也是可以适用的。好久不见，自然分外想念。但聚在一起久了，总会看不惯别人身上这样或者那样的小习惯。从这个角度上来看，妻子的选择是很智慧的，可以千里迢迢去看望亲人，但也要控制在适当的时间，两天时间的相聚恰到好处，有时候，相聚的时间越短，越是期待下一次依旧相逢在春天。
想起前天下午一大家子一起去逛超市的路上弟妹说过的一句话，住的远了反而格外想着在一起聚一聚，而近在咫尺的时候相聚的念头却忽然没有了。
弟妹讲的这番话其实描述的是他们和另外一个表弟之间的事情，去年年底的时候，这位表弟成了他们的邻居，也选择在南通近郊置业，一是因为地理位置不错，离南通非常近；二是因为相对其它城市而言，此处依然是一块价格洼地；三可能是因为毕竟亲人们在一起，彼此也有个照顾。
而没有想到的是，真的住在了一起，竟忽然少了当初那种非常想聚在一起的想法，各自安然过自家的日子。
相聚是一种美，离别又何尝不是呢？
短暂相聚，然后挥手自兹去。这是一种美丽，也是一种洒脱，还有一种不一样的牵挂。在这样的牵挂里，时常有一句非常熟悉的问候，让人一听甚至潸然泪下：你在他乡还好吗？
与其厌倦，不如想念。
午饭之后小睡了片刻，现在想到的第1件事就是去楼下走一走。圆圆正在酣睡着，没有去打扰她，带上耳机，整个世界就全部走入耳中。
Many people go through life, never getting in touch with their greatness because of the lack of motivation to push themselves, or because they have not found something that they believe to be worthwhile, to challenge them. And many are talented persons, have gone unnoticed, and the world never had a chance to be exposed to their talent, because that person did not take the time to begin to express or to demonstrate, or to motivate themselves in the direction to bring that which they came into the universe to bring, many people will leave the universe without a trace, no one will know they were here, and in fact under their name we could put under they're not used up.
Will anybody know that you came this way, what contribution are you giving, what will you leave, what will be different because you came this way, that life is our gift to us, that God has given us, and how we live our lives is our gift to God, what kind of gift are you formulating? Is this a gift that you like to take back and do something else before you turn it in.
Think about that, what can we do, what are some of the keys, that we can begin to use to motivate ourselves when our batteries run low, because I don't care who you are, I don't care what you do, at some time you are going to get tired, at some time you're going to get in a rut, seem like nothing you do works out right, and sometimes it just seems like you just don't have the wherewithal or the will to do anything, that sometimes you act like you're punch-drunk you're just wading through like just during time day in and day out, looking at nondiscriminatory television, anything that's all just looking, and depressed, feeling powerless, feeling useless, and bored, what do you do, how did you get yourself out of a rut, how do you when you know you can do more than what you've been doing and you're not doing it and you're discontented where you are you get angry at yourself.
……
就这样边走边听，
一圈又一圈，
熟悉的地方又看见不一样的风景。
