It39。s allowing us to protect a really valuable and important possession and realize one of Gremel39。s wishes that we could find a place where people could e out and experience nature the way he did as a kid, Herkert told TODAY. After doing all this, this past weekend, Gremel adopted an old Chihuahua（吉娃娃犬）. Winnie the dog was picked up as a homeless dog several months ago. She suffered from a kind of cancer, which was treated—and all she needed was a loving home, which Colleen Collins, the founder of Perfect Pooches Adoption Agency, was determined to find. Gremel had lost his own beloved Chihuahua earlier this year. When he reached out to Collins about Winnie, she felt this could be a good match. That feeling grew when she brought Winnie to his house for a meet and greet, and Winnie was introduced not only to Gremel but also some of his friends and neighbors.

Your password has expired(過期), a server message flashed on my screen, with instructions for changing it. Coming up with a new code doesn39。t seem like a big deal, unless you work at my pany, where we have to change it monthly, using at least one uppercase character, one lowercase character, one symbol, and one numeral. Oh, and the whole darn thing can39。t be fewer than eight characters. And I can39。t use any of the same passwords I39。ve used in the past three months. Suddenly I was furious. What didn39。t make it any better was that I was deeply depressed after my recent divorce. Disbelief over what she had done to me was all I thought about. Every day. My anger didn39。t mean anything to the empty input field with a pulsating cursor (閃動的光標(biāo)), waiting for me to type a password that I39。d have to reenter — many times — for the next 30 days. I remembered a tip I39。d heard from my former boss. He39。d said, I39。m going to use a password to change my life. I couldn39。t focus on getting things done in my current mood. There were clear indicators of what I needed to do to regain control of my life, but I couldn39。t notice them. My password became the indicator. My password reminded me that I shouldn39。t let myself be a victim of my recent breakup and that I was strong enough to do something about it. I made my password Forgive@h3r. I had to type this statement several times a day. Each time my puter would lock. Each time my screen saver with her photo would appear. Each time I would e back from eating lunch alone. In my mind, I wrote Forgive her every day. The simple action changed the way I looked at my exwife. That constant reminder of reconciliation led me to accept the way things had happened at the end of my marriage and embrace a new way of dealing with my depression. As the month wore on, I felt a slow healing begin to take place. By the time my server prompted me to reset my password the following month, I felt free. One month later, my dear Exchange server asked me yet again to reset my password. I thought about the next thing that I had to get done. My password became Quit@smoking4ever. I quit smoking overnight. This password was a painful one to type during that month, but doing it helped me to yell at myself in my mind as I typed that statement. It motivated me to follow my monthly goal. One month later, my password became Save4trip@thailand. Guess where I went three months later: Thailand. Seeing how these reminders helped to materialize my goals kept me motivated and excited. While it39。s sometimes difficult to e up with your next goal, keeping at it brings great results. Here is a simplified extract of what some of my passwords have been in the past two years, so you get an idea of how my life has changed, thanks to this method: Forgive@h3r To my exwife, who started it all. Quit@smoking4ever it worked. Save4trip@thailand it worked. Eat2times@day it never worked, still fat. Sleep@before12 it worked.1
