11、urs choosing books that were all over the map. On Writing found its way into my heart. Stephen King not only changed how I viewed the practice of writing and what makes a “writer, but he also changed how I viewed my own place within writing.When I Talk About Running (Haruki Murakami)A few years ago,
12、 while training for a full marathon, I read Haruki Murakamis beautiful reflection on writing and running, and felt like I had found a similar spirit. I think that is one of Murakamis giftshis writing style is so unique and so personal that he draws a reader into his/her world and creates a beautiful
13、 feeling of friendship.Night Film (Marisha Pessl)I love Marisha Pessls style of writing. There is no one else quite like her.

14、ld escape from the reality. This book keeps me terrified in a not too terrifying way.Let Your Life Speak (Parker Palmer)Every so often, I do a deep dive into self-help but I cant help myself. During one of these periods, I discovered Parker Palmer. In Let Your Life Speak, Palmer guides us to listen

18、ve no idea where it is now, but I still think of it and, specifically, my mom is in it. She looks so young and innocent. At that time she hasnt yet dropped out of college, or got married. The young woman in this photo has no idea that life will bring her five children and five grandchildren, one div
19、orce, two marriages and a move across the country.For me, as for many daughters, the time before my mother became a mother is a string of stories, told and retold: the time she sold her childhood Barbie doll to buy a ticket to Woodstock; the time she worked as a waitress at Howard Johnsons, struggli
20、ng to pay her way through her first year at Rutgers. The old photos of her are even more appealing than the stories because theyre a historical record, carrying the weight of fact.It is always a comfort from those photos to know that time, aging and motherhood cannot take away a womans essential ide

The woman in the
22、picture is someone other than the woman we know. She is also exactly the person in the photo-still, right now.

The Pictures of Our
26、 Mothers B. Our Mothers as We Never Saw ThemC. My Favorite Picture of My Mother D. The Way to Learn About Our MothersCAs the coronavirus outbreak continues, many Americans are fearful of using public transportation.

27、t be surprising that the pandemic has led to a major increase in bicycle sales.In the US, bicycles at big stores have sold out.

30、an it may take many months to get a bicycle. High demand is not the only reason for the shortage. Many bicycle factories were shut down to stop the spread of COVID-19. The increase in bicycle demand began in March as countries began to close down. In April, the sale of bicycles increased 200 percent
31、 in the US.Joe Minutolo is the co-owner of Bar Harbor Bicycle Shop in Maine.

36、s, and people who do this seem to recover better from those strong emotions.” Riana Aragon, the lead researcher said.Aragon and her fellow psychologists looked at hundreds of participants emotional responses to different things, including happy reunions and cute babies. Many participants said they w
37、ould react in a negative way to the positive things to cry at happy moments and want to pinch a cute babys face or even, tell them, “I want to eat you up!” But then researchers found that these people were able to calm down from strong emotions more quickly.There are many other examples of times whe
38、n people respond to a positive experience with a negative emotional reaction. At an exciting concert, fans scream at their idols. People who have just had a big lottery win are often in floods of tears. “These findings advance our understanding of how people express and control their emotions, which
39、 is importantly related to mental and physical health, the quality of relationships with others, and even how well people work together” said Aragon.32.
