A few weeks after my first wife, Georgia, was called to heaven, I was cooking dinner for my son and myself. For a 31 , I had decided on frozen peas. As I was cutting open the bag, it 32 from my hand and crashed to the floor. The peas, like marbles (弹珠), 33 everywhere. I tried to use a broom (扫帚), 34 with each swipe they just rolled across the kitchen.
For the next week, every time I was in the 35 , I found a pea — in a corner, or behind a table leg. They kept 36 . Eight months later I pulled out the refrigerator to clean behind it, and 37 twelve frozen peas hidden underneath (在底下)．
At the time I found those few remaining 38 , I was in a new relationship with a wonderful 39 I’d met in a support group. After we married, I was reminded of those peas 40 the refrigerator, and realized that my 41 had been like that bag of frozen peas. It had shattered (破碎). My wife had died; I was in a new city with a busy job, and with a son having trouble 42 his new surroundings and the 43 of his mother. I was a bag of spilled frozen peas; my life had come apart and scattered (散开)．
When life gets you 44 , when everything you know comes apart, and when you think you’ll never make it, 45 that it’s just a bag of scattered frozen peas. The peas can be 46 , and life will move on. You’ll find all the peas eventually, including the ones that are hardest to 47 . And when you’ve got them 48 , you’ll start to feel whole again.
The life you know can break apart at any time. But you’ll have to 49 , and how fast you collect your peas depends on you. Will you keep scattering them around with a broom, 50 will you pick them up one by one and put your life back together?
