FIRST SNOW IN 2012

It was the first snow in the winter or in 2012 that it was cold enough for the snow to remain on the ground. Snow used to fall starting in November so I used to do my walking in the basement with the use of the machine. It was very unusual and also lucky that I was able to enjoy my walk outside though out the winter until last Saturday when it started snowing.
I went downstairs to do my exercise of walking as usual this morning. When I felt hot then I took off my coat while I was moving as I used to do. I had done like that for so many years. There was an accident this morning when I did it. I lost my balance and my whole body fell backward onto the ground. The landing was very scary for me. It happened just so fast and so suddenly that I was unable to have enough time to have any reaction but just let go my body for it to fall backward as the way it went. I thought that I must be seriously injured by the impact of the fall. It was lucky that there was empty space where I made the land.
Due to the frightening my heart beat extremely fast. I dare not move but remain lying on the ground to calm myself down. During the rest I kept praying for not being hurt in the accident. Then I started collecting my strength to sit up and to move my arms and legs. I was overwhelmed with joy when I found out that everything was fine. There was nothing broken or bleeding. I was still in one whole piece except I felt some pain on my bump and my right ring finger that caused by the impact of the landing.
It was not that cold outside but there was still snow on the ground which was slippery. I chose to stay inside to do the walking instead of taking the risk of walking outside. It ended up that I also got falling. I consider myself very lucky in the accident and also have to admit that I am a very clumsy old woman and have learned from my mistake.

零一二年一月十六日

二零一二年的第一场白雪

入冬以来，这是第一场白雪，也是一二年，首次下雪。雪是在上个星期落下的，但是，由于，天气寒冷地上的白雪不会融化。正常来说，每年十一月已经开始下雪。整个冬天，有长达几个月，不能够到户外去散步活动。这个冬天，算是非常的幸运和特殊，可以在户外享受散布的乐趣。
一直到上星期六开始，才要躲在家，在地下室用脚踏机来做运动。好象以往一样，开始感到热的时候，我会一边踏一边脱掉外套。从来都没有遇到任何问题或者麻烦的事情。今天早上，就不幸遇到意外。当我把外套脱下的时候，失去平衡，整个身体向后倒下。事情发生得太突然、太快，没有时间去做出准备或者反应。只有，让它倒下去。我想这样的倒下去，肯定是很糟糕、很倒霉的，会受重伤。幸好，落地的位置是空的。
由于，受惊过度，心跳加速。躺在地上，不敢动，而不断地求老天爷保佑。休息了一回，平静了自己的心情，才开始坐起来。然后，站起来，把身体检查一下。发现四肢可以活动，没问题，感到非常的意外和高兴。屁股和右手先落地，因而，屁股和无名指感到有点痛。受伤可算非常的轻，该没事的。
外面的气温不算很寒冷，还可以在屋外走走。考虑到地上的积雪还会很滑，不到户外去散步，而留在家里做运动。结果，也会跌倒。我要承认，自己属于笨拙的老人家，也从中吸取教训。这次的跌倒也算不幸中的大幸，安然无事。
