5 . I often wonder how people can get so angry,so deep in their own belief that they become deaf to anything that may differ from their beliefs.I’ve often been told that I’m too open-minded,listening to others'viewpoints so openly that they become my own.Maybe that comes from my practice of actively listening to others.It means that I do really hear them instead of responding only out of politeness.Maybe it's because I was brought up by parents who didn’t necessarily speak to me about respecting others but modeled it for me through their own actions.They treated everyone equally,from what I remember,never looking down upon others because they were different from us.

As I raise my daughters,I try my best to show them love and understanding in all situations. When they misbehave, talk back, or break the rules,I'll lovingly analyze the reasons behind their behaviour.I'll be tolerant(宽容的)towards their differing opinions and become open and curious about their ideas.And I'll be mindful of how I treat and speak to others,showing equal respect to everyone.

My expectation is that if I show my daughters unconditional love and acceptance,they’ll learn to show the same love to others.I hope that they will not see difference as a threat,but as a way to add richness to their very existence.It's beautiful to live in a world filled with so many differences.

So,as I write this,welcoming my second daughter to my family,I'm fully aware that change begins with how I act and what decisions I make.Every generation carries its own set of problems.All we have control over is how we respond to those problems.This is what I will teach my girls:how to control their own emotional world;how to hold onto love as well as their beliefs and values;how to remember that hate and anger are never the answer and that tolerance and love will always take them further in life.

9 . My youngest son has a severe form of Autism (自闭症). Even though he is in his twenties now he still has the mind of a small child. Things I find silly delight him and little changes that wouldn't bother me at all bother him greatly. Most of the time he is happy but there are also times when he can be terribly upset. He will tear up things and cry for no reason. It always hurts me to see him suffer this way especially when there is little I can do to help.

This morning was particularly trying for him. He broke a new shirt and cried on and off for an hour. Finally he calmed down. I was still feeling stressed, however, and tiredly sat down at my computer to see if I could get a little work done. As I was turning it on, I heard my son laugh for the first time all day. I turned my head and saw him standing directly under the glass angel hanging from our ceiling fan. The light from our house lamps seemed to shine brightly all around him like a halo (光环). His eyes lit up as the little angel swung gently above his head.

At that moment my heart opened. I could see that the miracle was reminding me that my son was more than his Autism. I instead saw the shining soul within. I saw the love and light of his spirit and knew he was here for a purpose. My eyes watered and I appreciated this minor miracle and gentle reminder of his love for all of us.

Miracles are all around us, but we can't always see them with our eyes. We often have to see them with our hearts. Keep your heart open to them then. And let yourself be the miracle you were meant to be!
