I am still angry and upset about last Friday’s event at school. Interestingly my daily calendar of today’s message is the right one for me at this moment. It says: “All you have to do is identify what you want to do with it” — quoted from Ask And It Is Given Perpetual Flip CalendarContinue reading “Focusing on what I want 12/9/2018”

Yesterday I went through an awful experience at school. Every Friday afterschool, my daughter attends the club activity at the library. It is our routine that I pick her up at school. The students to be picked up wait for their parents in front of the school office. When I arrive at the school, IContinue reading “Panicked 12/8/2018”

I had been thinking about having a haircut. My favorite hair salon does not take an appointment. It means customers just walk in. We, customers, don’t know how long we have to wait for our turn. Since this area is called a retirement city for elderly people, old people are seen everywhere throughout the city.Continue reading “My second haircut of this year 12/7/2018”

Today I had my eighth acupuncture treatment. It was the second treatment from my new acupuncturist. I don’t know the age of my new acupuncturist. I think she is around my age, which is good for me. She is just right age for me. Not too young nor too old. Since she seemed to beContinue reading “My eighth acupuncture treatment 12/6/2018”

Even when entering to the parking lot, there was a long waiting line for people trying to find a vacant parking spot. After waited for a while, I finally couldContinue reading “Gift season 12/5/2018”

With this expression, I am not focusing on the physical language. Yes, they speak English and my mother tongueContinue reading “Still searching for my tribe 12/4/2018”

The trash collection regulation is different between in Japan and America. I needed to adjust myself to the new regulation when I moved to America. Back in Japan, the regulation was much stricter than that of America. I needed to separate trash into seven different types. Every time when I was about to trash something,Continue reading “Trash collection regulation 12/3/2018”

Today was my daughter’s birthday. Our day started from the early morning; 6 am. It was cold morning so that we urgently needed to go bathroom. After we came back to bed, we spent almost three hours in bed, cuddling each other and watching funny videos together. It is our ritual way to spend ourContinue reading “Celebrating my daughter’s birthday 12/2/2018”

On my last acupuncture treatment visit, my acupuncturist mentioned about Chinese life cycles. As per the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), we start a new cycle on every certain years. Women mark a new cycle in every seven years, while men mark a new cycle in every eight years, as it says “Women sevenContinue reading “Chinese life cycles 12/1/2018”
