Friends’ visit Day 1 – Welcoming them 7/22/2019

This morning my family and I started the day with excited feeling. Today was the day when my Japanese friends would arrive at our local airport.

Around 11 am, I checked their flight status. It showed their flight had arrived on time in San Francisco airport. All of a sudden, I could visualize them walking in the airport. They looked tired but at the same time they were so excited to see us again. Just visualizing them in my mind made me so happy. I started crying, even though they had not arrived here yet.

Around 2 pm, my daughter and I left our house to the airport to pick them up. Normally it takes me one hour and thirty minutes’ drive to get there, but today everything went so smoothly that it took less than one hour.

We arrived at the airport thirty minutes before their flight’s arrival time. My daughter and I were so excited that we could not sit still. We ended up walking around in the airport back and forth.

Every time I see my friends, I shed tears with happiness. Since I already cried this afternoon, I was hoping I would be able to welcome them without tears. I talked to myself secretly not to cry.

Their flight arrived eight minutes later than the scheduled arrival time.

When I saw them coming down the escalator toward us, I could not hold my tears. I started crying. I was so happy to see them again.

I am glad they arrived here safely.

After we ate dinner together, five of us went for a walk in the neighborhood area. This walk should be  beneficial for them to get used to this land’s energy and ground themselves from the long flights.

Final touch of cleaning 7/21/2019

Tomorrow my Japanese friends will arrive here. They will stay at our house for 10 days.

My family and I wanted to make their stay the most comfortable one, so we spent all day for preparing their visit.

We started making their bed. We sun dried the bed mattress, the sheets, and the blankets.

Then we proceeded to the entire house. We vacuumed, dusted off, and mopped the entire house. We took care of our cars by vacuuming the floors and wiping off the inside. We also cleaned our front and back yard, and the garage.

We did everything we could think. Our Sunday went by so quickly.

We are so excited for their arrival of tomorrow.

Surgery for my dad 7/20/2019

I received a text message from my mom.

According to it, my dad will be hospitalized tomorrow on July 21st and have a surgery on his stomach cancer on July 23rd. Since his surgery will be a major one, he will need to stay in the hospital for two months after the surgery.

My mom wrote that my dad stays being positive about his surgery. I can easily visualize that.

I had worked with my dad at his company for five years of my early 20s. At the work place, I was blessed to witness my dad’s different aspects that I would not be able to see at home. My dad, as the president of the company, analyzed new challenges logically and made a precious decision. I never saw him making a decision by his intuition or emotion. I admire my dad about that.

As for my mom, she wrote she will have her first chemotherapy on July 23rd or 24th. I thought she already had one, because she mentioned to have her first one on July 8th.

I don’t know the reason why her doctor postponed to give her a chemotherapy treatment because my mom did not write about the reason. In any way, I believe everything is happening as it is supposed to happen.

I keep praying for my mom and dad that everything will go well for them.

Loving myself 7/19/2019

My friend asked me about what I like the most. I pondered about the question.

I like reading books.

I like studying.

I like learning new things.

I like communicating with many people.

I like talking with people.

I like working.

I like making progress in my life.

I like encouraging people.

I like counselling people.

I like conveying messages to people from spirits.

I like making people happy.

I like writing.

I like being creative.

I like creating art works.

When I was expressing what l like to my friend, I noticed I have been away from any of my favorite things.

I don’t do anything progress. All I do is worry about my parents. All I do is to live off every day without any special progress.

I almost started thinking myself as a non-worthy person.

In that moment, something talked to me in my soul.

—- No, wait a minute.

I am not non-worthy.

I exist.

I always exist.

I am being myself.

Right now I don’t feel like mingling with other people.

Right now I might not doing anything progress.

But it is okay.

It is time for me to be a hermit.

It is okay to enjoy being a hermit.

One day I will come out from my shell, and I will start expressing myself much more than I do right now.

Everything is fine.

Being myself is just fine.

No matter what other people say to me, no matter what other people think about me, it is fine.

I am being myself.

I keep loving myself no matter what.

Baby tarantula 7/18/2019

This morning I saw something small moving on the floor in the house. I normally don’t wear eye glasses in the house, so I could not see clearly.

I quickly went back to the bedroom and grabbed my eye glasses, and took a close look at the moving object. It was a baby tarantula.

It was a cute buddy.

I called my husband and daughter. They both were in awe at the adorable appearance.

Then my husband carefully took it into a paper cup and brought it outside. It happily went back outside.

In Japan my parents and relative used to tell me that encountering a spider in the morning brings you good luck.

I am thankful to our small visitor that has brought us good luck.

Not a quick fix; rather, a slow process 7/17/2019

I watched one show of Amazon Prime Video. It is a documentary movie created in 2003. It introduces Navajo culture through the interviews to the Navajo traditional medicine man and other local people.

The title is “Where the Highway Ends: A Journey into Navajo Culture.”

In the middle of the movie, I was surprised to hear a very familiar voice. I thought to myself the voice exactly sounded like my dad-in-law. Then on the next second, my dad-in-law popped up in the movie.

He looked young in the movie. From his appearance, probably this interview was taken when he was still in his 40s, which is 20 years ago when I met him for the very first time. It was right before the millennium, just about entering to the 21st century. At that time he was working as a peacemaker at the Navajo tribe’s Peace Maker Court. 

He mentioned his concern about his people, especially young generations, in this age. They are influenced by a Western culture, which seeks for a quick fix. Navajo people traditionally had known that a healing process is not a quick fix; rather, a slow process.

I recall our conversation between my dad-in-law and me in those days. He often mentioned about this to me. He often told me to be patient on everything.

I, at that time which was 20 years ago, was young and immature, so I wanted things happen as quick as possible.

Now that I have accumulated my personal experiences and aged 20 years more than that time, I finally understand the logic he shared with me.

Everything has its own best timing, and that is why it sometimes takes more time than what we expect. I know now, that everything will go well eventually.

In Japanese we say “急がば回れ.“ It means “slow and steady wins the race.”

Positive side of aging 7/16/2019

I have my favorite sandwich restaurant in the local city. I often buy their sandwich. The frequency is probably three to four times a month.

I always had a good experience with the workers there. Every time I went there, the workers I have been served so far were all male workers. All of them are young in their early 20s.

I am always satisfied with their good service. They greet me with their friendly smile, hand me my order politely, and see me off by saying “have a wonderful day.” We both exchange our smile and have a good time communicating each other.

This is my routine with the workers at the restaurant.

Unfortunately today was different.

When I went to the restaurant to pick up my order, I saw only one young female worker. She didn’t greet me or smile at me. She looked like she was mad for something.

My order was not made yet, so I needed to wait for her to make my order.

Since I ordered three different sandwiches, I asked her to mark it (1) (2) (3) respectively. She said she made everything exactly same. I showed her the order instruction that clearly showed different instruction on each sandwich. She didn’t want to admit her mistake. She raised her voice and told me she made them in the exactly same ingredients.  

She handed me my three sandwiches with her arrogant attitude. Then she looked away from me and started cleaning the counter. She never looked at me again. She never apologized about her mistake. She didn’t say “thank you” or “have a nice day.”

I wanted to ask her name, so that I can talk to the store manager about her rude attitude.

Right before I left the restaurant, I turned back and looked at her. She still didn’t look at me.

All of a sudden, I was surrounded by something positive energy. I think it was my family spirits and angels. I felt their warmth around me.

With their warm energy, I looked at her. I had a feeling of sympathy to her.

I thought to myself.

She was not happy from the beginning. She was dealing with her private issue. To react to her rude attitude, I have two options. One option is to complain about her attitude to the store manager. The other option is to let it go.

I chose the latter option. I decided to let it go.

Once I decided to let it go, the negative energy surrounded by me swiftly melted away. I was not mad at her anymore. I regained my original peaceful energy around me.

***

Now I am back home and am writing about my experience at the restaurant. I am thankful to have one of the positive aspects of aging. With the aging process, I could choose the better option today. I hope I can do the same way for many other situations. Instead of getting mad easily, I choose to a better option to remain my original peaceful state, all the time.

I want to become a nice and friendly old woman, being loved by everybody, as the positive side of the aging process.

Message from my parents 7/15/2019

I woke up crying out loud.

I had a similar dream two nights straight. It was about my parents.

In my dream I was visiting my parents in Japan. Both of them were very sick in the hospital bed. They both could not speak. There were some other people beside their beds. They were my family and relatives.

One female figure showed up. She was really mean.

She blamed me for not supporting my parents during their sick days. I might be wrong, and please understand this is only in my dream, but I think the female figure was either my sister-in-law or my uncle’s wife. The female figure complained even about my life for being married to a foreigner and living in a foreign country.

She said she had heard my parents often complaining about me. She also said to me that my parents hated me for that.

She concluded her attack by saying about my parents’ inheritance property and money. She said my parents agreed with her that they would not leave me any of their inheritance.

I looked at my parents. They still could not utter a word.

However, they started sending me their telepathic message. Their message was like this.

Don’t listen to her. Don’t listen to the people who make indiscreet comments to you. They don’t know about our spiritual connection and agreements.

We both know deep inside, in the soul level, that we agreed with your life plan. We agreed you would leave our house, marry to a foreigner, and live there. Everything happened as we planned and agreed before you were born. We both appreciate for having you as our daughter. We have learned a lot from you. You are a brave soul.

Don’t worry about us. We had a good life. It is now your turn. Live your life fully.

Please do not forget, our dear daughter. We always love you. We always appreciate you.

***

After I woke up, I shared about my dream with my family.

In the evening my family and I went to the river trail hiking. There was a small lake, or a pond in the trail. When I got there, I felt a strong healing energy coming though the water body. I felt calmed down and relaxed.

Irregularity in monthly period 7/14/2019

For this month I expected to have my monthly period on July 8th, but it did not come as scheduled.

My monthly period has started coming irregularly since May 2019. Two months ago, it came one week earlier than the expected date. Last month, it came right on the expected day. This month it finally came today, that is 6 days later than the expected date.

When I was young, especially in my 20s, I never felt sick from my monthly period.

However, recently I started feeling sick during the monthly period. I feel dizzy and sleepy.

I decided not to fight during the transition of my body cycle. I take a nap or lay down whenever I feel tired.

I accept my body transition and aging. I don’t fight with the natural aging process.

Multi vitamin supplement start 7/13/2019

Based on my DNA test result, I found one multi vitamin supplement that suits best for me. I started taking it from today.

It is Garden of Life’s Vitamin Code Women. This vitamin supplement looks good. It is a raw whole food supplement and contains live probiotics and enzymes.

I used to take a multi vitamin supplement for two years of the year 2013 and 2014. I didn’t feel any improvements in my health, so I stopped taking it.

To me, taking a multi vitamin supplement is vague. You can’t see if it is really working well for your health or not. Previously I simply chose it whenever it was on sale. And so, I took many different manufacture’s vitamin supplement freely.

This time was different than before.

I selected it with care based on the allergy test report and the DNA analysis test report.

I am planning to continue at least one year to see if it contributes in improving my health or not. I hope I will see some improvements in my lab test result in next year.
