(2021·河南实验中学高三下四模)I was sitting at my kitchen table the other day with a pen, notebook, calculator and a pile of bills.I was doing my monthly budget.There were bills for electric, water, rent, insurance, the car payment, the phone bill, and the cable bill.Plus money needed to be set aside for food, gas, clothes and hopefully a little left over to save for those unexpected bills that always seemed to show up.When I was done, I shook my head, closed my eyes and thought of a time long ago when I would regularly get treasures.
When I was a boy, we lived across the road from Camp Caesar.It held week long camps all through the summer and my grandma who I lovingly called “Nanny” worked in her big kitchen.I remember slipping there getting a smile, a hug, a kiss and a hot roll from Nanny.Then she would always take deep in her pockets and pull out a treasure, a shiny quarter.She would give it to me and I would run down the hill to either get an ice cold can of coke from the pop machine or I would head to the camp's swimming pool where I could buy a warm cup of cherry coke for 15 cents and a tiny 10 cent bag of chips from a stand.I took my time because it was always a big decision.It was nice too feeling so rich for a few minutes.
Looking back now I can see that the real treasure was not the quarter at all.It was the love with which Nanny gave it to me.I would have still visited her at work every day if I had never gotten a single quarter.It was her smile, hugs, and kisses that were priceless in my heart then and now.
The old saying is true, “With your work you can make a living, but it is with your love that you make a life.” You can always welcome love into your heart, soul and mind.And you can always share your love with others.It is that one treasure that lasts forever.
