Happy New Year!
Thank you for visiting my website. Thank you for reading my blog.
You have been encouraging me to keep writing blog. For me writing in English is challenging. I appreciate your comments.
New Year’s day is very big in Japan. Also December 31st is as important as January 1st. I saw the sky in the morning (Dec.31) The sky I will see tomorrow morning will look different, new and clear. Everything start again on January first. Some people leave home at night of December 31st and to to Shinto Shrine or to see the first sun rise. Some stay at home and then go to shrine for new year’s wish. They are not necessarily religious. Very special! Very new! Everything seems to be reset and full of positive expectations! I don’t like cold weather in January but first week of January I love the atmosphere and new me.
I wrote my Japanese blog about my 2013. I reflect that year and thank people I met, thank family and friends. Thank God. Than you!
あけましておめでとうございます
今年もどうぞよろしくお願い申し上げます。
皆様のご健康とご多幸をお祈り申し上げます。
