昨天在娘家看了電影『王牌天神』,
心中頗有感觸。
片中天神對當時時運不濟因而忿恨不平的男主角說:
『千萬不可小覷勞動的力量,
許多自認為最幸福的人,
每天都是帶著辛苦工作後的滿身臭汗回家。』
相對於多數人們對成功的定義極度狹隘、扭曲,
過度執著於表面物質享受多寡,
拘泥於工作的輕重與職位高低,
直指這跟個人成就完全畫上等號。
我常在想,
人快不快樂往往決定於心的面向,
看著孩子們寒假作業裡頭寫的遊記,
天真的孩子回答與家人出遊『為什麼好玩?』
孩子填的答案是因為『大家一起去就會好玩!』
父母或許沒能有多餘的預算,
領全家人去其他國家旅遊度假,
在寶島平民化的玩法,
樂趣卻也是畢生難忘。
當我跟娘家爸爸說:
『陪孩子們做完剩下的作業,
練練琴後若還有時間,
再帶他們上戲院看電影。』
(原本的大年初四的收心操計畫。)
老爸一副不可置信的樣子,
(他認為在家看電影不也一樣!)
我笑笑說:
『家人之間的愛就是在一起進行這些活動時,
慢慢累積出不同於其他人的能量。
而這些都是需要花時間用心去經營的!』
等少爺們完成作業天色已暗,
只好改天再找時間看電影了。
(原本打算帶他們去嘉年華戲院,
看六點半的曼哈頓奇緣,
但時間來不及了。)
驅車前往娘家和爸媽一起用餐(媽媽的菜超好吃!)
用畢將少爺們留著,
和老爺前往購物去!
(畢竟開學在即,
老爺和我也即將恢復上班,
家中百物待補,
生鮮食物更是空空如也!)
SUPER MARKET 停車場一位難求,
幸虧我先下車走路晃了一圈,
找了一個位置才能順利進入。
沒有孩子的干擾,
很快就買好我們需要的日用品,
結帳的發票金額是2688令人粲然一笑。
由於夜市就在隔壁,
要老爺陪我逛逛就當餐後散步!
整個夜市都是人,
磨肩擦踵的感覺熱鬧更有年味!
暫時不用擔心一旁瞎鬧的少爺們,
手挽著手邊逛邊買好開心!
也不忘帶了媽媽愛的芋頭泡芙、
少爺愛的草莓泡芙,
還有爸爸愛的鹹麵包。
我也『不經意』在其中尋到了一些『寶』,
(女人嘛!衣服永遠總是少一件囉!)
又是一天的大滿足哩!
