In the evening we were informed my dad-in-law was finally discharged from the hospital. Although we don’t know in details how he was doing, we are all happy for him to be finally able to be back home. He must have been missing his home after 12 days hospitalization.

It was a very cold day. We don’t have a cold day often; it was one of the rare days in our area. The rain switched into snow since late evening. We enjoyed the rare snow for us.

Today’s dream: I was at Navajoland with my family; my husband, daughter, and my in-laws. We already set up our retreat center in our homesite. We were hosting seven tour customers from Japan. Our customers were all smiling and enjoying the healing energy from Navajoland. My husband picked up one of my in-laws’ dogs whose name is Happy, and he noticed he got lots of her poop in his both hands. Then I woke up. I know it is a good dream including the ending part.

My dad-in-law was scheduled to be discharged from the hospital today, but it didn’t happen. The hospital decided to keep him a little longer.

My family and I have a group of neighbor friends. One of them; an old man, was diagnosed as dementia several years ago. Even after the diagnosis, he has been living alone in an apartment. In recent years, his dementia conditions got worse and worse. He has started wandering around all by himself without knowing where he was going. Our friends needed to go search him here and there. They found him walking in the side of freeway which the speed limit is 65 mph. He didn’t have anything with him to identify him. Finally he was accepted by the facility for dementia people where the staff members are available for 24/7. Today was his moving day. It was sad to see him off. It was also hard for me to stay cool. I was thinking of my parents. It is sad to see the aging process. We all go through the process in turn. When my turn comes, I want to live my life to the most until my very last day without any regrets.

I have heard goat milk tastes like human’s breast milk. I have always wanted to try, but didn’t have an opportunity during the conversation of last night with my mom-in-law, she mentioned about goat cheese. She recently tried it and liked it very much.

This morning when I was in the grocery store, I purchased them.

At home I tried them with my husband and daughter. It was very first time for us to try them. Three of us liked the goat cheese, but not goat milk. I could smell animal in the milk.

Even though we didn’t like them very much, we did enjoy eating them for our first time. Now we know we are not going to purchase them again.  

Today’s dream was very interesting. I shaved my hair and became bold like a monk. I truly enjoyed the process of shaving my hair. I cannot explain in words on how excited I was. Then I woke up. The first thing I did was to touch my hair. I felt my hair and experienced both opposite feeling of relieved and disappointed. I was relieved that I still have my hair left, and I was disappointed that I was not bold.

I thought it interesting. What if I take an action and do it? Are my family upset with me? Maybe. Maybe not. They might be fine with my decision. One of these days, I will make it happen while I am still young and healthy on this lifetime.

In the evening I helped my daughter and my mom-in-law to set up their zoom meeting. They were happy to see each other in the computer screen. They happily had a fun conversation for two hours.

After my mom passed away, I have been frequently humming one song. The lilac of the song is “I am waiting for you.” This is an old song so as the singer was. This morning all of a sudden I realized this song is coming from my late mom. I got that right. When I looked this song up in the internet, it shows the song was released and became popular in 1973. It cannot be from my memory because I was three years old when this song got popular. My mom keeps sending me this song to let me know my mom has been watching over my dad and waiting for him to her place.

In the late afternoon, an interesting synchronicity occurred. My daughter naturally brought me one picture book and asked me to read. I busted into laughter. It was a story of one girl and one boy at the kindergarten. The boy’s name is the same as that of my dad. The little girl and the little boy were good friends and often played together. On the Tanabata Day; July 7^th, the students at the kindergarten learned how to make a decoration ribbon out of Origami papers. The little girl made a whole bunch of the pretty ribbons. The little boy played with the ribbons and broke them. The little girl got sad. The little boy was sad too, because he never thought he would broke her ribbons and make her sad. The teacher advised the little boy to write down his wish on a strip of paper. So he wrote down he wished to be able to play with the little girl again. The little girl was watching the little boy. By that time, she already forgave the little boy and she also wished to play with him again. So, she wrote her wish of playing with him again on a strip of paper and tied it to the next to the little boy’s wish strip paper.

After I read this story, I realized how my mom thinks of my dad. Even though my dad did a lot of bad things to my mom, my mom already forgave my dad. Rather my mom always loves my dad and waits for him to stay together.

I appreciate my mom to make these synchronies happen to inform her feeling. It is always good to know that your parents love each other.

My dad-in-law was schedule to get discharged from the hospital today, but it didn’t happen. The doctor noticed his leg got swollen back and they operated a surgery again. There they found another infected area was created in his leg. The doctor decided to keep my dad-in-law for another week to keep checking on the inside condition of his leg. I hope he will get discharged with his completely healed leg soon.

My husband and daughter went to eat out at the steak house restaurant. I am not a big fan of eating at a restaurant, so I let them go alone. On their way back, they purchased me a family size of sushi pack from my friends’ store. I appreciate their kind thought.

I purchased an online lecture of Chinese medicine.

Based on the test, my result was like this.

A. 気虚 – 0

B．血虚 – 1

C. 陰虚 – 2

D. 陽虚 – 2

E. 気滞 – 4

F. 瘀血（おけつ） – 3

G. 痰湿 – 5

H. 湿熱 – 2

Based on my intuition, regardless of the test result, I think I am the type F and should work on fixing these traits in order to resolve my good health.

Today’s dream: I was busy packing in my two huge suitcases. Then I woke up. The dream interpretation dictionary says packing in a suitcase means an encounter with new people, a moving to a new area, or starting a new career.

Later in the afternoon my daughter told me she got an inspiration of our moving in six months. I hate moving but deep inside of me, I am looking forward to our moving to a new area. Possibility it will be in Navajoland.

Today’s meditation: I did the guided mediation of Japanese Mediumship School.

My guide spirit appeared in a Native American male warrior figure as always.

For the year of 2021, he gave me a kinugoshi tofu. It contained many messages. The first message is that I will need to intake more vegetable protein rather than animal meats. Recently I have been losing interests in eating animal meats, so it resonated with me. The second message is to become like a kinugoshi tofu. Kinugoshi Tofu provides us vegetable protein which is one of the essential nutrition in our body. It can be the main food or the great supporter for the other ingredients. It can play any roles depending on a situation. The third message is to become somebody whom everybody knows and appreciates.

As for the question for humans to do in this year, I received a message like this.

It is time for all the humans to be unique. Many humans had been influenced by a small number of leaders and just simply copy what they have told them to do. Rather, in this year, spirits want humans to be aware of their individual and unique gifs and share them with others. 

My dad-in-law was supposed to get discharged from the hospital. However, since his leg was still swollen, the doctor decided to keep him another two more nights. If everything looks good, he will get discharged on this Friday January 22^nd. I hope he will be able to come back to his house.

Today I purchased an online class of anatomy. It is interesting to review my knowledge that I learned in my school days; many years ago.

This morning was cold. The sky was covered by rain clouds and the temperature was dramatically dropped. The weather report says we will have cold rainy days for four days from today.

Today was Day-2 of our riding the new tricycle in our neighbor area. We noticed one tire already got flat. We will need to replace the tire tube. It was a bit disappointing that this tricycle needs to be repaired already even though the price was very expensive.

In the evening, my daughter had a zoom meeting with her old classmate. They were very close friends and classmates three years ago at the local public school. Her parents bought a new house in the next city, so she needed to transfer the school. I still remember on the last day of the school year when my daughter got off the school bus crying. It was their last day to spend together at the classroom.

Her mom and I exchanged our phone number. We once in a while let our daughters to chat through our cell phone texts, but eventually the frequency faded away.

Yesterday I received a nice surprise. Her mom contacted me asking if our daughters have an opportunity to chat. Thus, we set up a zoom meeting for them tonight.

It went very well. They had a great time catching up with each other. I am so happy that they still keep their friendship.

We finally finished assembling the adult tricycle. It took many hours. On the first day, we had worked for 9 hours. On the second and third day, since my husband had to leave for work, we had worked, we had worked for 2 hours each. During these hours, we needed to go to town to purchase small items to replace the useless nut and bold that was included in the box.

We went for a ride around the neighborhood area. On our fifth lap, we saw one of the tire got flat. We will need to go to town again to purchase a replacement tire tube.

All in all we are totally enjoying the tricycle ride. It is a good exercise for all of us.

Today’s dream was exciting. I was pregnant and had a labor. I woke up feeling excited. I know this dream came to let me know to prepare something new and great to come to me.
