Shortly before Christmas one year,a local flower shop offered a bouquetamonth special.It seemed to be a great way to thank her for all of the flowers she had given me through the years. After the holidays,in early January,I drove her to the flower shop to pick up her first month"s bouquet.The small fresh colorful bouquet would hardly fill a small vase (花瓶). I was so embarrassed (尴尬的). However,after we returned home,she began to arrange the flowers she had received."Mom,I"m sorry," I told her."I can"t believe how skimpy that bouquet is." She looked at me and smiled."It"s okay," she said."It allows me to better enjoy the beauty of each one." Mom"s words helped me to realize something bigger and more important-when we have too many good things,we often fail to enjoy the beauty of each one.
