In this past week I had been thinking about my next acupuncture appointment. I had felt like I should cancel it for now. This morning when I woke up, the very first thing popped up in my head was to cancel my next appointment. I don’t remember my dream of this morning, but maybe IContinue reading “Graduation from acupuncture 9/24/2018”

Today we went to the local fair. It was held at the big park located to our next city. We all had a fun on their attraction rides. We rode a Ferris wheel, a roller coaster, a fun slide, an obstacle course, and a merry-go-round. It was actually my daughter’s first time to enjoy soContinue reading “Carnival rides 9/23/2018”

Five years ago we bought a car. I personally don’t like buying anything with loan payments. So, we were planning to buy the car with cash. The car dealer, however, insisted that we should use their auto loan program. They had a campaign at that time. It was an auto loan for 63-months with zeroContinue reading “Paid off 9/22/2018”

Somebody once advised me to bring a whole bunch of toothpicks and Q-tips from Japan, as the quality is much higher than that of other countries.

In the first class, the instructor shared the technique to check our blood flow and lymphatic flow. You can check your blood flow by using your palms. Place your palms together.Continue reading “Blood and lymphatic flow check 9/19/2018”

As I mentioned earlier, I have been studying macrobiotics. In addition to the online course, I have started reading several books about macrobiotics. I thought it interesting that the people who had contributed to spread the teaching of macrobiotics are Japanese, but they are known as their different names in foreign countries. Macrobiotics is introducedContinue reading “Simple recipes 9/18/2018”

At the school bus stop, there are some parents waiting for the bus with their children and grandchildren. The adults love chatting. They are always chatting with the other adults. I never saw any adults waiting for the bus quietly. On the other hand, my daughter and I like to be quiet. We usually waitContinue reading “Natural reaction 9/17/2018”

A couple months ago, our neighbor started having three puppies in their back yard. Since their house is located on the street, on the way to the bus stop, all the children started petting them. My daughter and I are one of them. All the three puppies are friendly. They are always happily wagging theirContinue reading “Puppy 9/16/2018”

I have studying macrobiotics through the online course. The first materials that had arrived to me contained 12 DVDs, one textbook, and one recipe book. They were all interesting to learn. I finished watching all the DVDs and reading the two books, very quickly. I really like their course. I like how the instructor teachesContinue reading “Child rearing basic course 9/15/2018”
