Fine view
It was super clear, full of sunshine and blue sky yesterday.
The view of the Mt.Tate was great.
It made me feel powerful and energetic. It also reminds me of those lyrics from 'Imagine'
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today....
I was grateful to share the lovely moment under the blue sky.
It was a nice time being in peace.

What makes you happy?
I was excited to go around busy places, Theme Parks like Disney Resort or Fashionable places like Odaiba, Harajuku so on with kids.
But recently relaxed and abundant of natural places are more pleasant than before. It may be from getting old and getting to know what the most important to me is!
I feel grateful for the life.

My imagination
Life is not a plain path
But winding, broad and narrow.
It seems like a shape of that drawing
In the story of 'Little Prince'.
An elephant swallowed by a snake
Life start from minimal and rise up to maxima. Finally the end of the life reaches to minimal.
It's my own imagination.

Walk and Lift your head
Since I feel spacious in my world I notice something lucky falls around me. So I would like to lift my head when I walk.
I look up to the sky and thank for everything. You better love and appreciate first before wishing.
We will see how blessed you are.
You are the only one in the Universe.
Given life and live a life for now.
I don't want to get much in the flood of food, information and new items.
Just being yourself, hearing your inner voice you can only choose what you need.

Simple is the best
I've been still doing 'throw away and set-up in order' guided by Konmari's lesson. It's almost done 90% of all.
I started from clothes next books and other small things, memorabilia or keepsake in the end.
The point is only to choose what you want to leave not to choose to throw away.
You can say goodbye to old memorable things which you used to have but you don't use anymore.
Your life will be simpler, lighter and more free space!
Possess less and you can find that simple life is the best.

Appendicitis
An 109-year-old woman had appendicitis and had to get surgery of appendectomy.
It's amazing such a old woman should get an operation for more than an hour. Of course it was worried that old people could bear the surgery.
But the doctors dared to commit their best to save her life.
I hope she will live longer than 120 years old.

A magical set-up in order
One of my resolution at the new year's day, throw things away and set up in order. I've wanted to start but not having done until now.
I feel like ' out on a limb' to set my room in order.
I finally found a magical strategy for it.
I've got an ebook at the Apple store.
It's Kon-mari's book 'The sensational attractive way to set in order'.
I'm really into it and keep on reading.
I will start my task as soon as possible and one my resolution would be achieved.

Our planet, the Earth and environment
I've been to the exhibition 'The Earth and environment'.
I've very impressed how old our planet Earth is and how young our human beings are to be compared with other former creatures such as dinosaurs, and ancient mammals.
It's said that the era of dinasors had lasted for I.5 billion years and ended by the collision of the meteorite.
I really think clearly that we can learn from the history.
Human beings are still new for the Earth but we developed only for our profits and destroyed nature much more than it had been taken in its history.
Our life can't exist without natural gift.
I hope all of us notice and care for our mother land.

Steady mind
Everything is in a state of flux. Hērakleitos
Water in the river goes on and never the same as before.
Chomei Kamono 'Hojoki'
They say that nothing is forever and everything is changing as it goes.
This theory is 'mujokan' in Japanese.
I used to think about what would cause us by changing.
One of good things is new born and growth.
The other hand, one of the bad things is getting old and dead.
I found we can't be happy without accepting that nothing forever but myself.
So I conclude to be steady mind myself. It makes me to fight against the difficulties.

Requiem
Holly quiet night
After quite cold wave
No star nor moon in the sky
Only sorrowful and lingering
Deep injury and scar inside
Time will tell you
How much love you've earned
How much tears you've poured
You will see something
Life is not so bad....until then
I will pray for you
Facing to 1 year memorial day Tomorrow after the bad dream
I can understand what you have in your mind
'I would even be the devil if you give me smile again!'
I give my donation to those who lost their loved one and in despair.

TV this morning
I happened to watch tv program
' Gacchiri Monday ' and found my town familiar railway train in it.
It reported about being prosperous railways all over Japan.
There were some other advantageous trains which are making lots of money and popular lines. Their companies have been making effort for the people to use conveniently.
My town has 'Light rail', a kind of tram. It was renovated from local declined railway train to town convenient street car.
It's been popular and doing good business since the reformation.
I'm very proud of my town being successful for going foreword to the future.
It's designed for next senior society without cars.

Words by Sadako
What often makes me laugh is Sadako's words which my oldest friend replied to me.
Her pronunciation is different from Toyama dialect but the ancient Tokyo dialect 'Edoben' because she was born in Tokyo and brought up and lived until her 20 years old.
The typical pronunciation is that 'shi' for 'hi'. She says 'shakuen' for 'hyakuen', 'shiroi' for 'hiroi' or 'shima' for 'hima' and etc.
It makes me funny and I always try to correct her like playing game.
She doesn't care nor feel ill for that.
Our conversation is always having gap but fun like learning foreign languages.
When I had tea break with her I talked about tea and Japanese tea to her.
She willing to repeat it 'Japanese key'.
I said it again 'tea' not 'key'. Then she tried to say 'pea'. 'No..no..it's TEA ' I carefully said to her. She understand it from TE and TEA.
It was nice chatting and exchanging languages with her.
I think old people have power in their long life.
So we need to take advantage of coming aged society and love it.

A big star is dead
It comes into in my news box New York Times,
Grammy Award-winning singer and actress Whitney Houston has died at age 48, media reports said on Saturday.
It's really shocking news though.
She is famous for the song of the movie 'Body guard'.
Her passionate and powerful song is very impressive to me.
I'm very sorry and give my condolence to her. Please keep yourself in peace.

Complaint in her mind
"My mom seems busy these days.
As it has been still wet on the road I hate walking on such watery road.
My body is easy to get dirty and wet because my legs are too short and my stomach touches to the grand. So I'm not so often taken to walk recently.
My life style in winter is staying at home and in warm blanket, in the kotatsu. I'm almost lack of exercise and gain weight!
I have to be patient to eat extra food.
But I can do it....waiting 'mate'."
It is reading in Marie's mind.
Look at this cute photo!

Reminder for a long life
I found good reminder for a long life at my senior's house who I pay respect.
It says that
You should know if you want to live long, mind of those things...
If you were welcomed at 70 years old, say ' I'm busy with work '
If you were almost picked up at 80 years old, say ' too early! '
If you were announced to go to the heaven at 90 years old, say ' I'll come a little later.'
If you were told to be off at 100 years old, say ' I'll come after the meeting with association of the long life.'
This is what you should remind if you live long.
It's funny and easy to live without worry. Long life would be more excited.

aloneness vs loneliness
'Aloneness is different from loneliness'.
It's remarked by Dr.Pillay in his book.
' In my practice I have noticed that high-achieving people always find ways to enjoy themselves --- that is, they enjoy literally enjoy being with themselves, rather than focusing on loneliness, they focus on how their success will attract people to them. Simply put, becoming an expert requires practice, and practice requires spending time alone.'
It reminds me of runners as well as all of athletes are alone, possessing high potential for their goals but not lonely.

Mother of invention
Being shut out by snowy days, but I was devoted to make something useful by some knitting yarn and hands.
I wanted a holder of iPhone when I go walking regularly which helps me time, distance and good music as a company.
So my need was enough to make it by myself and made trials and errors for hours.
Finally I finished knitting my own original holder and scarf,too!
I went out walking with them and had a good walk even though on the snowy road.
I'm very proud of my manufacturing and can say ....
' Necessity is mother of invention '
That's it, isn't it?

Life in winter
I feel pain sometimes in my neck or back and mostly headache because of fever in my body. It's low fever but stay longer than high fever.
I find a good way to remove the pain.
I get cold and too careful to stay in the cold air. But it makes me worse to spoil myself.
I decided to go out with warm down coat and walked fast for 30minutes in the cold air. As I walked I didn't feel cold and got warm by myself.
I finally found to warm by myself without heater and removed sickness.
So I'd like to walk at least 30 minutes as possible to make myself warm.
I think it's the ultimate Eco system to warm by myself.

What is HP?
An interesting topic about life science, what prolongs life.
I've watched the TV program last night ' The dramatic life '.
It explains about the hibernation of squirrels during the winter.
They save life by hibernation to use the least energy without food.
Studies research that hibernation is one of the best way for creatures to keep long life. Without hibernation the life time is said to be much shorter than those which has hibernation.
So what causes hibernation?
That's the Hibernation Specified Protein, it's abbreviated HP.
Squirrels as well as other creatures that have hibernation are controlled by HP. It seems survival wisdom!
Scientists are studying how about human being with HP.
HP might bring us new life without disease nor death....!?
