I have a three-year old daughter. To
teach her basic science knowledge,
I always play some interesting games
with her. One of her most favorite
games is “raining ice cube”. We put an
ice cube above a glass of slightly hot
water. Some seconds later, tiny water
droplets fall down like a lovely “rain”.
February comes, a new season
greets us with drizzling rain whose
tiny droplets dampen our hair and
shoulders, running down our windows
and blurring the world across the
pane. Once my daughter woke
up early in the morning,
pressed her face against
the glass pensively, and
asked
me
“Mommy
Mommy, there are some
ice cubes on our roof, right?
Our house is warmer so it
rains like this, huh?”

Children are always so simple. In
their little eyes, everything is warm and
sweet while we adults struggle with
work and busy ourselves with worries
and even sadness.

My daughter’s question has awakened
me, reminding me that there is lots of
joy and excitement in our life. We just
need to open our heart to
welcome all things as if
they are coming to us
for the first time and
our lives will be much
more beautiful. At that
time, the droplets of
February will be drops of
joy singing outside our windows
or dancing on our shoulders.
Have you found your own “drops
of joy” with your new journeys this
February? Do not forget to share
with us!
We wish you a warm February full of
happiness!
