The years make people old.
At night, the surrounding lights gradually dimmed, only the street lights in the community, still blooming quietly, scattered with a dim halo, with a hint of warmth.
Perhaps, if people are old, on winter nights, most of them fall asleep early, nest in the bed, and then, or watch a TV series, or brush a mobile phone, or listen to a classical music, or read a miscellaneous book... Then, go to sleep peacefully.
The next day, from the early morning twilight, wake up, after a simple grooming, wear comfortable clothes to go to the vegetable market to catch the morning market, see the green vegetables, fragrant fruits, fresh and fresh fish freely scattered in the pool, prawns jumping around on the case, crabs trying to crawl around... There are also shelves, full of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar bottles and cans, one by one, all emitting the aroma of "come and buy me", and the mood is instantly comfortable.
Time, it seems, the more idle, the more interesting it is.
Only because, when people are young, they always live very anxiously, want to catch up with others, want to surpass others, want to have everything, so in a hurry, they forget to appreciate the beauty of life.
People are old, time slows down, and days slow down.
Perhaps, there is still no high cooking skill, but I will also try to eat three meals a day, no longer deal with, but seriously cook a few dishes, calmly cook a pot of soup, and eat a meal with my family.
When people get old, they spend the rest of their lives in a corner of tranquility.

Mr. Lin Qingxuan once said:
What people need to prepare is not expensive tea, but the mood when drinking tea!
Each of us came to this world in the expectation of all, and then left this world in the tears of our loved ones.
No matter how high-ranking and generous you were, how ordinary and ordinary you were, no matter how dazzling and brilliant you were, or how ordinary you were, everyone's destination is just a piece of loess, a small box.
Therefore, don't forget to enjoy the "mood of drinking tea" because you want to drink "expensive tea".
No matter how expensive tea is, if you are restless, after drinking, you are sad and sleepy, then the more you drink, the more uneasy you are, and you can't really enjoy the aroma of tea.
In this lifetime, people live their own state of mind.
A good mood, rough tea and light rice, is also a good life; a bitter state of mind, gold and jade food, is also a sad life.
So, old, it's old, let yourself look a little wider, don't hold on to the desire in your heart can't put it down, there are so many beautiful things in the world, flowing water, long moon breeze, we can enjoy for free, why not live a little happier?
Take happiness as a habit of your own.
If you can't drink expensive tea, then let yourself have the mood of drinking tea, idle, quiet, and enjoy the beauty of life.

Su Dongpo once had a poetry cloud:
Drizzle oblique wind for the cold, light smoke and willows beautiful sunny beach. Entering Huai Qingluo gradually became long.
Snow foam milk flower floating noon cup, artemisia annua shoots try spring plate. The taste of the world is pure joy.
The phrase "the taste of the world is pure joy" seems to be the life of a person when he is old. Although it is still trivial, it is a lot more lazy and has a lot of leisure.
A bowl of clear porridge, a few plates of small dishes, the meal is simple and healthy;
An old song, a text, the days are beautiful and melodious.
Day after day, although it is still the same day, the four seasons are different, the landscape is different, the mood is different, the passion of the youth is no longer there, but in the current ordinary days, it finds joy and peace of mind.
Life is such a process of cutting out the complicated and simplifying.
Beautiful things will always gradually disperse with time, bit by bit.
Green silk will always turn into white hair, and the smooth forehead will always have a few wrinkles, but don't sigh, even the most beautiful flowers will fall, and the most beautiful snow will melt.
Live simpler, go with the flow, don't always worry about getting old, don't always think about the unknown in the future, live every moment of the moment, let go, let go, is to find your own joy.

When people are old, the ordinary life is peace.
In this life, I have seen the dirtiness and warmth of the world, and I have also felt the warmth and kindness given by others.
Therefore, when you are old, in the face of no matter how complicated and complicated people are, you will just smile indifferently; no matter how much darkness and ugliness you see, you will no longer get into your heart, let alone think and worry.
Everything, go with the flow.
The elasticity of life, perhaps, is to find inner softness and purity.
When bored, a few friends get together, a pot of old tea, boiled until deep red, a few people drink tea, while talking with each other very happy; when the mood is depressed on a rainy day, listen to a song, look at the scenery outside the window, and enjoy the joy of the rain.
Don't bother, don't bother, sit quietly, walk without hurry, be quiet and peaceful in your heart, the days of the gods, nothing more than this.
Everything in the world has its natural laws, so why worry about the impermanence of life?
When people are old, when there is a mood of "all seasons of the year, every day is a good day", look down on all the mutilations, appreciate all the blanks, and wipe their hearts from time to time.
Quiet, stable, peaceful, live out your true self.

Red dust disturbs, there will always be some regrets;
Right or wrong, there will always be some resentment.
But, when you are old, you must think about it, the past, let it become the past, do not think about the past, and live in the present with anxiety.
In a daze, look at the sky, walk the dog, play with the flowers and plants, open a small vegetable garden... A good day is to live by yourself.
In the past, Tao Yuanming", "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the South Mountain", how free and relaxed, only because he was not escaping the hustle and bustle, but really loved rural life.
When you are old, you must know yourself and live authentically.
Not lost, not sinking, not worrying, like a lotus in summer, with a cool Zen, faintly fragrant, quiet, not vine, not ostentatious, not tacky.
Life is always a battlefield with smoke and smoke, and each of us cannot escape.
But, as we get older, we can find a corner of peace and live our days happily.
