completely polarized 对立 by it Split by age and experience opinions hairstyles cosmetics clothing and boys The Father Daughter Duel of 54 shifted into high gear when you taught me to drive the old Dodge and I decided I would drive the 54 Chevy whether you liked it or not The police officer who escorted 护送 me home after you reported the Chevy stolen late one evening was too young to understand father daughter politics and too old to have much tolerance for a 16 year old You were so decent 恰当的 about it Dad and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life 3 Our relationship improved greatly when I had babies I didn t know what to expect of you and Mom as grandparents but I didn t have to wait long to find out Those babies adored you then just as they adore you now I suppose I saw our relationship as aging together rather like a fine wine But the oddest thing happened last week I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car It didn t immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and frail behind the wheel of that huge car It was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day Fifty years ago this spring we planted kohlrabi together in a garden in Charles City Iowa This week we ll plant kohlrabi together again perhaps for the last time but I hope not I don t understand why planting kohlrabi with you is so important to me but it is I don t even like kohlrabi but I like planting it with you Honoring a father on Father s Day is about more than a dad who brings home a paycheck shares a dinner table and attends school graduation and weddings It s more about unconditionally loving children who are stubborn who know

towards the window She repeated her greeting in a friendly voice Hi I replied My name is Laura I m from Britain How about you A palm waved in front of my face Malaysia I shook the hand reluctantly Laura started a conversation with me taking no notice of my unfriendly reactions Her voice was warm and caring She was thoughtful When we were served drinks and meals she made sure that I had room to move in my seat I don t want to make you uncomfortable with my elephant size she said with great sincerity To my surprise her face that I disliked hours before slowly opened into an extraord inary smile lively and calm at the same time I couldn t help but let down my guard Laura was an interesting conversationalist She was well read in many subjects from philosophy to science She turned a seemingly unimportant subject into something to explore and understand Her comments were humorous and inspirational When our topic turned to cultures I was pleasantly surprised by her intelligent comments and well thought out analysis I asked Laura Have you ever thought about losing some weight You aren t worried about the diseases that come with being overweight Not at all You only get the diseases if you re worried about your weight all the time You see advertisements from slimming centers that say Liberate yourself from your extra baggage so that you are free to be yourself It s rubbish You re liberated only if you re comfortable with who you are and what you look like I eat healthily and walk regularly I m this size because I am born to be big She sipped her wine Besides God

a rough and ready 世故的 social group I bought the hoodie in a charity shop My daughters were shocked They thought I looked bad but I knew my disguise was perfect Elizabeth L Cline thinks she knows best

who moan 埋怨 about being busy are not always the ones who need to be busy Rather they are filling their lives up voluntarily In an article for The New York Times entitled The busy trap Kreider says busy people are addicted to busyness and fear what they might have to face in its absence Our lives cannot possibly be silly or meaningless if we are in demand 7 every hour of the day Kreider says

south of France She describes herself as happy and relaxed for the first time in years She still gets her work done but it doesn t take up her entire day She has a big circle of friends who all go out to the cafe together every night She used to describe her personality as driven anxious and sad These attributes 特点 turned out to be an effect of her environment Kreider says that most of us don t want to be busy but if everyone else puts on an air of busyness we feel we ought to do something or risk being considered lazy Being artificially busy stops us from taking a step back to learn about ourselves Kreider urges us to space out once in a while Doing nothing is not lazy he says It is as indispensable 不可或缺的 to the brain as vitamin D is to the body The space and quiet that idleness provides is a necessary condition for standing back from life and seeing it whole it is necessary to getting any work done History is full of stories of inspiration in idle moments such as Archimedes Eureka in the bath and Newton s apple Kreider wonders whether the lazy people in life aren t responsible for more of the world s great ideas inventions and masterpieces than the hardworking 32
