New year's eve

A beautiful fine day, warm in the car but cold outside.
Cleaning,washing,going on shopping and everything is very comfortable to do!
Many heartache things are packed in this year and we will never forget the pain of the hard time.
But we need to move on and restart.
I'm convinced life is not so bad if you have never ending story in your heart.

I hope you will have a great new year eve.

to live or to be lived

There are two days and today left in this year end...in 2011.
It was a terrible hard year in history like in bad dream or in hell. Not only in Japan but also world wide on the earth, we are facing the crisis to live forward.
I used to talk to myself that nothing is forever but I still seek for something forever in my life. It made me think like that because of the death close to me.
We can't avoid death nor control life time even through I offered to give my time to someone dying. We can't live long more than 100 years. Life is short so we accept the limit and just live cheerfully in the end.
I learned to live fullest to enjoy time Now. The power of Now is very important.
Natural disaster and human disaster killed a lot of people at that time. Even though one life I missed brought me grief and sorrow. While the thousands people lost their life in the water and under the crashes, it occurred to me that life is too tough to live ...I thought of rather dying than living left alone.
But life is more precious than anything else....I still imagine great pleasure in life and I can live and support as well as being helped by someone else.
The year of 2011 gave us great task and testing in the future.
Empty mind and hopeless bring me nowhere but I just want to hear the sound of nature and ask who I am.
I think Now is the time to think of
'Memento mori', means 'think of death' in the end of the year.

A blessed day

It was very very beautiful day between winter cold days.
No yesterday and no tomorrow we won't have such a lovely day as today.
I was mad going to the good position to watch the mountains and took photos.
Some other people also stayed there to view the beauty like me.
I really felt like happy to see those incredible panorama of the mountains.

Natural food

Cold weather finally is weakening though much snow is left on the ground.
I went out for lunch at the natural food restaurant.
I like to eat no oil nor meat but vegetable and brown rice. Natural food is healthier than rich tasteful food.

Kotatsu warmer

It's so cold and I set Kotatsu to warm efficiently after a long while.
I've avoided Kotatsu because it makes me lazy and too comfortable to move out.
But I can't stand single AC heater.
Kotatsu is one of the economical ways of warmer. It's said 'cool on head and warm on foot', kind of old Japanese wisdom.
I carelessly took a nap after lunch in Kotatsu ...
It was my fault! That's why I've been avoiding Kotatsu.
Anyway I will enjoy relaxed time in the end of the year in Koratsu!
