完形填空。

     My brother-in-law lifted out a package in which was delicate lingerie. (女式内衣) "Jan bought it 8 years
ago     1    she never wore it. She was   2   it for a special occasion." He put it with the other clothes we were
taking to the mortician (殡仪员). "Don't save anything for a special occasion. Every day when you're    3   is
a special gift." he said.
     I remembered those words through the funeral and the days that followed when I helped with all the chores
after Jan's sudden    4  . I thought about them on the plane returning to California. I'm    5   thinking about his
words and they've   6    my attitude towards life. I'm admiring the view    7   worrying about the weeds in the
garden. I'm spending more time with my family and friends and   8   time in committee meetings.
     Whenever possible life should be an experience to   9  not tolerate. I'm trying to recognize these moments
and  10    them. "Someday" and "one of these days" are   11    from my vocabulary. If it's worth seeing or hearing
or doing I want to see and hear and do it now. I'm not sure what my sister would have done if she had known
she wouldn't be here for the tomorrow that we all   12    for granted. I think she would have gone out for her
favorite Chinese food. She might have called a few former friends to apologize for past   13  . I'm guessing
-- I'll  14  know.
     It's those little things left undone that would make me angry if I knew that my hours were   15  . Angry
because I   16   seeing good friends I was going to get in touch with --- someday. Angry and   17    that I
didn't tell my husband and daughter often enough how much I truly love them.
     I'm trying not to put off or save anything that would add  18    and color to our lives. Every morning
when I open my eyes I tell myself it is   19  . Every day every minute every breath truly is a(n)   20   from
God.
