回家


你什么时候最想回家探望父母?读书时,每次当同学爸妈打电话来问:“什么时候回来?” 同学大多会说:“等暑假吧”、“等课业没这样多的时候吧”。 工作时, 同事会答:“下星期吧”、“迟些吧” 、“等工作没那么忙的时候吧”。其实我想大家最想说的是这一句:“遇到挫折的时候吧”。

遇到挫折的时候, 我们最想家。

春风得意,诸事顺利的时候, 我们大多不会想家。 即使不是和朋友或情人在一起, 很多人也宁愿一个人窝在自己的家里上网滑浪、msn chatting、看书。 个人空间比什么都重要。然而,当遇上挫折、失意、沮丧的时候, 他们才发现有一个老家避风港可以回去, 是多么的幸福。

我还是坚持每个星期回家,因为我要的是亲手把幸福给带回家。

Hi there (not sure how to address you),

You reminded me on one of the very nice song I used to like. It was song by this Taiwanese female singer 潘美辰-- 《我想有个家》

我想有个家
一个不需要华丽的地方
在我疲倦的时候
我会想到它
我想有个家
一个不需要多大的地方
在我受惊吓的时候
我才不会害怕
谁不会想要家
可是就有人没有它
脸上流著眼泪
只能自己轻轻擦
我好羡慕他
受伤后可以回家
而我只能孤单的
孤单的寻找我的家
虽然我不曾有温暖的家
但是我一样渐渐的长大
只要心中充满爱
就会被关怀
无法理怨谁
一切只能靠自己
虽然你有家什么也不缺
为何看不见你露出笑脸
永远都说没有爱
整天不回家
相同的年纪
不同的心灵
让我拥有一个家

Despite the ups and downs in life, may all be well and happy.

家永远是最温暖的,当出外旅行时,无论多豪华的酒店,最想的还是家,因为你知道有家人在等着你回来,那种感觉好温馨。。。。

Hi Des:
Remember that night you showed me this blog at your house?
Today I review it again and i like this latest text very much....


“回家”这两个字在我生活中离开了好久好久,我有好多“家“但却不是真正自己的家。。。 好想念回家的感觉但却只能在回忆里头找了。。。 茅盾吧?好多时候我也这样认为。。。
“别规定自己要多少次或多久才回家,既然离家不远而且趁双亲还健在就多点回家吧!“这是我常常对我朋友所说的一句话。。。

想不到《回家》这一篇post引起最多的回响和共鸣。

家,是每个人心中的堡垒,最温暖的房子,是心灵的栖息地,体能的加油站,肌体的疗养所。

家,就是我们保存生活和生命永不退色的底片。

深夜里。。。
一个人坐着巴士回家,梦摇来摇去,
心不自觉的害怕。

忽醒忽睡,
深怕错过了站,我遥远的家,
深怕错过了你每一段的回忆。

梦摇来摇去,
家就在不远处守候着我,
等我归来。

我一直都住在“家”里
但我很怕待在这个“家”
也许有一天,这个家会因我而毁掉
我不想毁了我的家

家,不是一个讲理、辩理,而是一个讲爱和包容的地方。

爱护你的家人,在适当时候的沟通和坦诚,我想是会得到谅解和接受的。
