Yesterday, I sneaked in to do back care, and was told that the wet and cold were severe, the blood circulation was not clear, the meridians were blocked, the nerves at the end of the limbs were numb, the lumbar vertebrae were protruding, the left shoulder was stiff, the right shoulder was strained, and the heart and lungs were all problematic. In a hurry, I asked the nurse how many more years I could live, my goal is 70 years old, is it difficult to survive until then? The result made the nurse laugh, and the nurse said, "You're so young, you're not married, aren't you?" These sub-health conditions of the body can be recovered with good conditioning. "The nurse's words can't help but amuse me, in fact, as the second treasure mother, I am almost forty, perhaps because of my good attitude, or born with a baby face, but I am often treated as a little girl."
I always thought that forty was a number that would make me panic, just think about this youth is easy to pass away, and the face is easy to grow old, it will be lost and sad. However, when he really faced this year of confusion, he was extremely calm. Forty, isn't that nice! At least, forty, less youthful restlessness, more middle-aged calmness; forty, less psychological needs, more ideological satisfaction; forty, less money chasing, more enjoyment of life. Forty, it's a new and just beginning.
Forty, I can still have a childlike heart. After seeing the cruel world, he still believes in the beauty around him, always maintains his curiosity about new things, and actively accepts the convenience and joy brought by new things.
Forty, I pay more attention to daily appearance. Without youthful vigor, without youthful natural beauty, but I can dress appropriately, full of spirit, confident and not conceited, beautiful nature.
Forty, I will still insist on reading and learning English. Reading makes people open-minded, makes people feel comfortable, and at worst, can make Mandarin better. There are poems and books in the belly, reading more, the face is naturally changed, and I have my own opinions on everything. Friends wondered if the purpose of my english learning was "Where to travel?" "No, I just don't want what I once learned to be forgotten."
Forty, I can still keep a good heart. Born from the heart, a generous heart, a compassionate love, naturally can also make people emit a kind of light from the inside out.
Forty, I can have a better life mood and cultivate my own pursuits. In my spare time, I prefer to spend my time raising a few plants, making some gadgets, cooking creative dishes, pairing with various freshly squeezed juices, researching health recipes, and starting to practice xingkai...
Forty, I will keep exercising every day. Invite three or two friends, get up every morning to walk fast, jogging, lasting exercise not only young posture, young mentality, healthy body is the root of everything.
Of course, forty also had a faint pain.
Forty, I would inexplicably collapse in some moment in the middle of the night, and then quietly heal myself, life is never easy, fortunately I learned how to quickly repair myself. Or maybe people are stronger than they think after all, and when you always think you can't hold on, you can find an exit and come out of the bend.
Forty, I am as the poet Ephraim de Sousa once said: Love as if you were never injured; dance as if no one would appreciate; sing as if no one would listen; work as if you didn't need money; live as if today is the end of the day.
