{ Loyal Friend } 寫給好友的一封信

Holiday Season越靠近,想念朋友的情緒,就越濃郁!

自從8月份,好友搬回巴黎後,我們一直有書信的往來,下

面是iRene寫給她的其中一封很簡短Casual的 Email.

Dear friend:

I am so happy to hear from you. I really miss you ^^ How is everything going? Is your family doing well? How about your work? Hope everything in your life is wonderful.

I haven’t attended baking and cooking class regularly since the middle of September because you are not there and also I started taking Pilates and Yoga classes for health reasons. If everything goes well, I will be visiting Paris early next year. Could I meet up with you? Could you give me some recommendations regarding cafe、restaurant、Hotel and must-visit places in Paris? (About café and restaurant, can you tell me what you like because I want to feel what it’s like to live like a local and try local foods, instead of only visiting tourist places.)

Any plans for Thanksgiving? What do French people usually do for this holiday? The cupcake recipe you gave me awhile back, I am still making them from time to time. I think of you when I am making those. I have gotten a lot of complements because they taste so wonderful. 

 

Keep in touch. Hope you will have a great holiday season.  

Sincerely,

iRene

<回憶起這天,iRene穿著老爸的休閒服,和好友來吃午餐^^>

一開始我們只是在課堂上點頭Say hi的關係,後來在一次的午茶邀約後,因為有深入的談話和互動後,變成無話不談的好朋友囉!我們之間,不用太多甜言蜜語,只要一個微笑,拍拍肩膀,就可以感受到那份支持彼此的力量!

她,是個很有個性又溫暖的女生,是一位Freelance writer, 總是不吝惜分享許多知識和資訊給iRene,讓我學習之餘,也可以窺見自己的內心,來加以思考反省,她教了我好多事情;更慶幸的是能再度感受到人與人之間的溫度,真心的交流,使生活中即使是小事情,都更加豐富了起來, 讓我也能用更柔和的眼光來看待身邊的人事物…,連她去度假時,還特地寫卡片寄照片跟我分享…!

在人生的旅路上,千萬別失去原有的初衷,好好地扮演自己的角色就好!讓我們一起學會欣賞自己,且「存心謙卑,各人看別人比自己強」,保持平常心,不吝惜表達讚美比自己優秀的人,也不隔絕比自己更棒的人喔!

Would you like to become my friend and share with me your everyday thoughts?
