Several months ago， my husband and I were on an island for a long weekend with our five-year-old twin daughters. As we went back and forth about what to do next， our girls jumped in and told us exactly what they wanted to do. “We want to go to the butterfly museum，” said Emily and Hanna.
As soon as we walked into the main area of the museum， we saw thousands of beautiful butterflies. They all flapped their colorful wings.
My girls were jumping up and down， and I knew we had made the right decision to come to the museum. They were having so much fun.
I turned to our museum tour guide because I was curious (好奇的)， and asked， “How long do butterflies live?”
She said： “About ten days.”
“What can butterflies do in ten days?” I asked.
The guide stopped， looked at me， and said， “They make the world a more beautiful place.”
“Wow，” I said， “I never thought about butterflies like that. Thank you.”
After we said goodbye， I couldn’t stop thinking about what the guide had said. She was right. We all have something to offer the world with the time we have. When we focus our gifts on taking care of each other every day， we can make a difference.
Appreciate (欣赏) the impact you can have on your family， friends， co-workers and neighbors. Like a butterfly， you have your own way of making the world more beautiful for everyone.

My husband, my four-month-old daughter and I set out on a five day driving journey from California to Washington. We had to stop frequently because our little child needed to stretch from the car seat.
One of our stops, once we crossed the Oregon border, was at a Black Bear Diner. Walking towards the front door we noticed a gentleman standing at one side. He was clearly untidy, without shoes and wearing worn clothing. We passed right by him and opened the restaurant door. Then something told me to go back.
Holding my daughter, I turned around and said to the gentleman, "Sir. Are yon hungry?" He said, "Yes." I then asked, "May we buy you something to eat?" He responded with, “Sure, I can order something myself."
My husband opened the door and the gentleman went straight to the counter. I told him to order whatever he wanted. The manager of the restaurant came over quite quickly and looked frightened. I spoke before he had an opportunity to. “This gentleman will have lunch with us today,” I said. “Please add his order to our bill.” The manager said with a frown(皱眉）, “Okay.” We turned to our table and the gentleman said loudly and quickly, " Thank You!" We were seated and upon completing our meal we were handed our bill. I asked my husband what the gentleman had ordered, one fresh orange juice, one coffee, one breakfast combination with a side of hash browns.
When we left the restaurant I looked for the gentleman but didn't see him, but that very small act just made my day. I hope in some small way we were able to add some joy to his life, even if only for a few minutes.
