As I look outside from my desk at work,
当我工作之余从桌前向外探望
I have a view of the mountains,
眼前是一派群山
a beautiful, partially cloudy blue sky
云海半遮，天际蔚蓝的美景
and the random car traffic on our quiet road.
马路上一派宁静，偶尔有车流经过
I love this view

and consider myself blessed
心存感恩
to have it every work day.
为自己每个工作日都能坐览这番景致
I have worked for companies
我曾在数家公司任职
where my desk or cubicle had no window view
坐在桌前或隔间里，却没有窗外美景
and there are associates at my current company
现在这家公司里的一些同事
who do not have a view.
也没有美景可赏
I know I am lucky

and I appreciate it so much.
并且为此格外欣喜
I stop
我时常驻足
and let the sunlight shine on my face,
让阳光照在自己脸上
I close my eyes
我闭上眼睛
and feel it warm my soul.
感觉阳光温暖了自己的灵魂
Maybe this day had a restful night to start it,
或许安宁只在今夜，明天却是一日操劳
maybe I am in mourning,
或许我正心中悲怆
I could be tired or sore from the gym.
或许我刚健身归来，感到疲累，四肢酸痛
Maybe I have trouble in my heart
或许我心中正有烦恼
over an action from my young adult children,
由于我刚成年的孩子某个举动
my husband or myself.
由于丈夫或我自身
There are so many ways a day can start,
有如此多的不同方式，可以开启新一天
But
但是
when I feel that light touch my face,
当我感到光照在脸上
warm it in the heat of summer
带着夏天的灼热让我感到温暖
or I shiver in the cold of winter,
抑或冬天的严寒让我瑟瑟发抖
I am blessed
我知道自己被祝福着
I know happiness is with me.
