The way we spend our time can be divided into three groups or jars (罐子). These would be the necessary tasks jar, the voluntary tasks jar and the happiness jar.
Every day, we spend time filling the necessary tasks jar. We fill this jar with useful things, like making money, doing housework, buying food and paying bills. We then fill another jar with voluntary tasks. These are things that we do for others, but we may not enjoy them. This jar is filled with tasks like taking children to activities and cooking family meals. Those jars are very important. If we don’t fill them each day, our family won’t run properly.
However, we often forget to fill the third jar− the happiness jar. This is the jar that we fill with activities that make us happy. Is your happiness jar sometimes empty at the end of the day? We all have days like that. Between doing all the necessary and voluntary tasks, time flies by on some days, and before we know it, it is time for bed.
That is why each day we try to fill our happiness jar. Most days, I fill mine by going to the ballroom dance (社交舞) class. Between the music, the dancing and the friendship among the students, I always leave classes happier than when I entered. Playing music is another way that I fill my happiness jar. This week, I was happy to take part in an orchestra (管弦乐队) practice at my church (教堂). A small group of us met to practice Christmas music for a church service. It was a time of fun, friendship and music making. At the end of the evening, my happiness jar was full.
Consider how your time is spent. Try to find ways to achieve a balance. At the end of the day, hopefully we’ve done all we can to make sure that our happiness jar is filled.

“Will you come with us，Susan？”cried several girls．“We are going to the woods，do come，too．”
“I should like to go with you，”replied Susan，“but I can't finish the task Grandmother set me to do．”
“How boring it must be to stay at home to work on a holiday！”said one of them，shaking her head．“Susan's grandmother is too strict．”
At this，Susan lowered her head，wiped away a tear，and thought of the pleasant afternoon the girls would spend gathering wild flowers．
Soon she said to herself，“What harm can there be in moving the mark Grandmother put？The woods must be beautiful today，and how I should like to be there！”
“Grandmother，”said she，a few minutes afterwards，“I'm ready now．”
“What，so soon，Susan？”Her grandmother took the work，and looked at it very closely．
“True，Susan，”said she，“true，I have counted it，and，as you’ve never deceived（欺骗）me，you may go and enjoy yourself．”
Susan's face turned red，and she did not say“thank you”．As she left，she walked slowly away，not singing as usual．
“Why，here is Susan！”the girls cried．“But what is the matter? Why have you left your dear grandmother？”they jokingly added．
“it's nothing．”As Susan replied，she felt she was trying to deceive herself．
When the girl had reached an open space，they ran about enjoying themselves except Susan．Sitting on the grass，how she wished she were at home confessing（承认） her fault．
After a while Rose cried out，“Let’s make a crown of violets，and put it on the head of the best girl here．”
“It will be easy enough to make the crown．but not so easy to decide who is to wear it，”said Julia．
“Why，Susan is to wear it，of course，”said Rose，“is she not said to be the best girl in school and the most obedient（顺从的） at home？”
“Yes，yes，the crown shall be for Susan，”cried the other girls．
“Now，Susan，”said Rose，“put it on in a very careful way，for you are to be our queen．
The crown was placed on Susan’s head．But in a moment，she snatched it off，threw it on the ground and said，“No crown for me；I do not deserve（值得）it．”
The girls looked at her with surprise．“I have deceived my grandmother，”said she，while tears flowed down her cheeks．
“Do you think that bad？”asked one of the girls．
“I’m sure it is and I have been miserable all the time I have been here．”
Susan ran home，as soon as she saw Grandmother，she cried，“（）Grandmother！I should be punished，for I moved the mark．Do forgive me；I am very sorry and unhappy．”
“Susan，”said her grandmother，“I knew it all the time，but I let you go ou，hoping that you can realize your fault．I am so glad that you have confessed your fault．”
“Now！”was the quick reply，and Susan's grandmother kissed her forehead．
