It is New Year Day.

My family and I did our routine of every new year day.

We woke up early in the morning and went for a walk, and prayed for our all good thoughts and rewards to the first sun rise.

We created our vision board of this year 2020.

It is the last day of the year 2019, so I want to review this year.

In March, my daughter and I went to Japan. I visited my parents in Kobe, my life-long friend in Nagoya, and my other friend in Yokohama. Since it was the pollen season in Japan, and I put too much travels in such a short days, I had been sick almost all days during trip. I had been suffering from throwing-ups and headaches, and constipation. During trip, I felt isolated and being a totally stranger at anywhere in Japan. After I came back home in America, I felt comfortable for being back. I realized my energy has already fit to this area where I currently live. I started fully loving Arizona and America.

In May, in order to know my body function, I had a DNA test for health and a fool allergy test. At the end of May, both of my parents hospitalized and had surgery for cancer. Since then, they started hiring a house helper at their house.

In July, I improved the cooking method. I trashed most of electric appliances and started cooking with gas fire. The cooking stove was changed from electric to gas. Also in July, my Japanese friend and her 8 years old daughter visited us for 10 days. With her support, I started my homemade Nukaduke; Japanese traditional pickles.

In August, my hemoglobin A1C was slightly improved to 6.9 than the result of 7.3 in April. My Trigriceride was improved to 235 from the result of 313 in April.

In October, I started the intermittent fasting (16/8 fasting) and stopped taking metformin; the diabetic medicine. I made my mind to fully depend on my natural healing ability. I made a new friend in our neighborhood area and we started a 6-mile walk on every Sunday evenings.

In summary, this year has taught me the importance of maintaining good health.

I closed my business credit card.

I had some reward money on the card, but unfortunately the bank teller said it has to be more than $25 to transfer the money. So, I needed to discard the reward money.

My other bank; USAA offers no limit to transfer the reward money. There is some cons about USAA though. They don’t have a business account. Also they don’t have actual branches so that we cannot deposit or withdraw directly from them; we need to use other ATMs. In return they will refund back the service fee from the ATM.

I was sick all day long. I suffered from the heavy headache and threw-up. I felt sorry for my family for not being able to cook their food.

Still, I feel I am getting better. I used to have sick days often, but nowadays the frequency has been getting lesser than before.

We had snow yesterday. The snow didn’t stay in our area, but I wanted to experience much snow. So we went to canyon hiking.

As I expected, at the place of canyon hiking, there were much snow left started from the entrance to all the way to the top area.

I was so happy to stay with the big amount of snow.   

It was a cold morning. I saw snow covered on the ground of backyard. It must be snowing during the night.

Today I closed my business bank account at the local bank.

I wish I was allowed to do this procedure on my own at home, but it has to be done by the bank teller at the bank. I always wonder why almost all the bank tellers have long finger nails that prevent them to type the computer key boards faster.

At the end of the procedure, the bank teller asked me to do the feedback survey. She said the bank will send me a link of the survey about her service. The customer has to rate their satisfaction about their experience from the teller from one to ten. One is the lowest satisfaction and ten is the highest. The bank teller whispered to me and begged me to rate her service as ten; the highest satisfaction. She said she would get in trouble if she gets any rate other than ten. Even nine is not okay.

To be honest, her service was not that of my highest satisfaction. She took her time in typing. Her explanation was not enough so that I needed to ask her again.

I wish the manager or the director should know what their workers are doing. If they know their workers are begging their customers to rate as the highest satisfaction, they will never know the true satisfaction rate of their workers.

My honest satisfaction is maybe 7 to the highest. I didn’t input the survey, because I was not allowed to input my honest satisfaction rate as 7, and I didn’t want to lie about my satisfaction rate as 10.

I watched the movie Windwalker (1981). It is an old Native American movie. The main character is an elderly Cheyenne warrior.

I love this movie. It contains lots of spirituality.

This movie reminds me that everything (every person we encounter and every event) is connected and influences one another.

Today was Christmas Day. I sent my mom a nice message, wishing her and my dad a happy Christmas and their good health and happiness.

She quickly replied back to me. She said although her health was not great, my dad and mom were still happily living together at their own house.

I was happy for them to hear that.

The message from my mom became a great Christmas gift for me.
