I enjoy your diary, similar to reading the Living section of World Journal, a major Chinese news
 paper in NYC. Wish you have the time to write more. Once, I heard a saying; happiness is like a
 glass ball that felt on the ground and broke. People rush to pick pieces up. Some has picked up
 large piece, some has picked small piece, but no one has picked up all. From the appearance of 
your eyes and good writing, I guess you have picked up a large piece.
