It was November. The colorful Autumn leaves had reached their peak and were now falling fast.
11月的秋叶已经走过了它们最辉煌的时期，如今正簌簌落地。
The hillsides were dotted with the skinny skeletons of bare trees.

I pulled my jacket tighter around me as I walked through the gusty winds and saw the leaves swirling to the ground.
我逆着风向前走，看着树叶打着旋儿落下，我把自己的夹克衫裹得更紧了些。
I tried to smile but couldn't. In spite of delightful intentions the dark, dreary days were dragging me down.

I walked on through the wet leaves while my shoes slowly got soaked.

My cold toes didn't bother me as much as my damp spirits.

Suddenly, though, I felt something warm.

I closed my eyes and turned my face to the sweet sunshine .

It's warmth washed over me.
我从头到脚感到一阵暖意。
I looked around and saw the remaining leaves on the trees sparkling in the sunlight.

I felt my spirits rising again as well.

I smiled and thanked Nature for this everyday miracle.

In our lives here we all are faced with times when the world seems cold, dark, and gray.

It is in these times when Nature calls on us to break through the clouds ourselves and share our light with the world.
正是在这种时刻，大自然引领我们穿破惨淡愁云，引领我们发光发射，把光明与全世界分享。
It doesn't take much either. A simple hug, a kind word, a caring note can warm and uplift another's spirits.
这不会花费你多少时间精力。一个浅浅的拥抱，一句善意的问候，一张写满关怀的字条，这些足以让另一个人感到内心温暖，精神一振。
A helping hand, a shared smile, a tiny act of love can shine light into another's heart.
一只援助的手，一个友好的微笑，一点表达爱意的微小举动足以让光明照亮另一个人的心房。
When the gray days come then don't just sit in the dark.
当阴暗的日子来临，不要傻傻的在黑暗里坐以待毙。
Break through the clouds! Share your love! Let the light shine through you!
穿破阴云吧！分享我们的爱吧！让光明照亮你的生命！
