A few weeks after my first wife, Georgia, was called to heaven, I was cooking dinner for my son and myself. For a  36 , I had decided on frozen peas. As I was cutting open the bag, it 37  from my hand and crashed to the floor. The peas, like marbles,   38 everywhere. I tried to use a broom(扫帚),   39 with each sweep they just rolled across the kitchen.
For the next week, every time I was in the  40 , I found a pea—in a corner, or behind a table leg. They kept  41  . Eight months later I pulled out the refrigerator to clean behind it, and  42 12 frozen peas hidden underneath.
At the time I found those few remaining 43 , I was in a new relationship with a wonderful 44 I’d met in a support group. After we married, I was reminded 45 those peas under the refrigerator, and realized that my  46 had been like that bag of frozen peas. It had shattered(破碎). My wife had died; I was in a new city with a busy job, and with a son having trouble  47  his new surroundings and the  48 of his mother. I was a bag of spilled(洒落) frozen peas; my life had come apart and scattered(撒开).
When life gets you  49 , when everything you know comes apart, and when you think you’ll never 50 , remember that it’s just a bag of scattered frozen peas. The peas can be 51 , and life will move on. You’ll find all the peas  52 , including the ones that are hardest to find. And when you’ve got them  53 you’ll start to feel whole again.
The life you know can break apart at any time. But you’ll have to  54 , and how fast you collect your peas depends on you. Will you keep scattering them around with a broom,   55 will you pick them up one by one and put your life back together?
