2024丨保持信念，深呼吸

I had to put the following quote1 intopractice 25 years ago25年前，我曾反复念诵一句话when I was asked to give a speech at myprecious2 friend Evy's wedding.因为我应邀参加从前的好友Evy的婚礼，必须作一番演讲"Sometimes the best thing you can dois“有时，你能做的最好的事，”not think, not wonder, not imagine, notobsess3,“就是不要思考，不要猜忌，不要想象，不要沉迷” justbreathe and have faith“你只需要深呼吸，保持信念”that everything will work out for thebest."“要相信，一切都会变成最好的样子”You may wonder why on earth would it be sodifficult?你可能会问，为什么这件事对于我如此艰难？ Well, there's a good reason why.我有充足的理由Our son, Todd, was a very close friend withEvy.我们的儿子Todd一直与Evy非常要好 After Todd's death, Evy and I became closefriends too.Todd死后，Evy和我也成为了亲密的朋友。Evy would stopover at our home and spendtime with me.Evy时常来我家串门，陪着我一起度过难熬的时光。Every year on the date of Todd's death每年Todd的忌日Evy would send me a white rose in memory ofTodd.Evy都会寄一只白玫瑰给我，以表达她对Todd的追思What was interesting is有趣的是that Evy was going to marry a man namedTodd.Evy的准新郎名字也叫ToddI kept thinking, wondering,我脑中思绪翻飞，仿佛问着为什么imagining when I heard the minister say'Todd' that I was going to start crying.我想象着，当我听到牧师叫“Todd”的时候，自己一定会哭出来I'm here to tell you that现在我想告诉你们I did breathe and put my faith in my lifethat day.那一天，我做到了，我深呼吸，然后将我的信任交付到生活手中Before I open my mouth在我开始演讲之前I put this verse in my mind,我在心里念诵着这样一句话 "I can do all things through life whostrengthens me"“经过生活的历练，我将能够做好任何事，因为生活让我变得更坚强”I did give a speech and I didn't cry.我顺利完成了演讲，而且并没有哭泣Everything did work out for the best生活真的变成了最好的样子and now 25 years later如今，25年之后Todd and Evy are still married.Todd和Evy还是一对恩爱夫妻
