A funny story circulated recently about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. Doyle clearly told of a time when he climbed into a    in Paris. Before he could     a word, the driver turned to him and asked, “Where can I     you, Mr. Doyle?”
Doyle was    . He asked the driver if he had ever seen him before.
“No, sir,” the driver responded. “I have    seen you before.” Then he    : “This morning’s paper had a story about you being on     in Marseilles. This is the taxi stand where people who return from Marseilles always arrive. Your      color tells me you have been on vacation. The    spot on your right index finger suggests to me that you are a writer. Your clothing is very English, and not French.      up all those pieces of information, I      that you are Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.”
“This is truly amazing!” the writer    with excitement. “You are very like my    creation, Sherlock Holmes!”
“There’s one other thing,” the driver said.
“What’s that?”
“Your     is on the front of your suitcase.”
Perhaps the     was no master detective, but he was observant! He paid attention and paying attention is an important part of living    .
Life isn’t a matter of milestones, but of     . A life lived to the full is lived from moment to moment,    from milestone to milestone. It is more of a series of days in which we truly pay attention, than a few     events along the way.
Pay attention to the things of life, to people, to events, to your senses, even to the ordinary. Your life will never    beauty. By making the most of the moments, you make the most of the years.

Before setting out, I told Barrett this trip would be tiring and   17 . For the first two days, he said almost nothing. I worried the trip was too   18  for a 17-year-old. Then, on day three, as we were   19  over high rocky mountains, he turned to me and grinned (咧嘴笑),“Pretty hard.”
After that there was no turning back. A five-year-old girl, wearing a dress several sizes   20  large and broken shoes, followed Barrett around, mesmerized (着迷). He couldn’t stop   21 .

Learning her story, Barrett was as   32  as I by this tiny woman’s achievements. His eyes were wet and there was a   33  of love and respect on his face. He had finally understood the importance of my work .
When leaving for home, Barrett even offered to stay   34  as a volunteer. My insides suddenly felt struck. This   35  achieved all I’d expected. Soon he will celebrate his 18^th birthday. He’ll be a man.

One night, I went to visit him with my sisters. We started   41  about life, and I told them about one of my   42 .

On May 27, 1995, our life was suddenly changed. It happened a few minutes past three, 36  my husband, Chris, fell from his horse as it 37 over a fence. Chris was paralyzed (瘫痪) from the chest down,   38  to breathe normally. As he was thrown from his horse, we entered into a life of  39   with lots of unexpected challenges( 挑战). We went from the "haves" to the “have-nots". Or so we thought.
40  what we discovered later were all the gifts that came out of   41 difficulties. We came to learn that something 42   could happen in a disaster . All over the world people 43  Chris so much that letters and postcards poured in every day. By the end of the third week in a 44 center in Virginia, about 35,000 pieces of 45   had been received and sorted.
As   46 , we opened letter after letter. They gave us   47  and became a source of strength for us. We used them to 48   ourselves. I would go to the pile of letters marked with "Funny" if we needed a 49 , or to the "Disabled" box to find advice from people in wheelchairs or 50 in bed living happily and 51 .
These letters, we realized, had to be shared. And so   52  we offer one of them to you.
Dear Chris,
My husband and I were so sorry to hear of your 53  accident last week. No doubt your family and your friends are giving you the strength to face this   54  challenge. People everywhere are also giving you best wishes every day and we are among those who are keeping you   55 .
Yours Sincerely,
Nancy Reagan
