Birthday Meditation at Mother Cabrini Shrine
Yesterday, my husband and I went for a walk along the lake in the park.
The pavement was still covered with snow. It was so crispy cold.
While walking on the pure white snow, I felt I was purifying myself before receiving my next birthday.
Today was my birthday.
I am fortunate to have friends who sung a happy birthday song for me.
I am fortunate to have a husband who took a day off in order to celebrate my birthday with me all day long.
For my birthday today, I asked my husband to take me to Mother Cabrini Shrine.
I love to take a private medication and prayer moment on my birthday.

Starting New Year’s Eve Cleaning
It is a custom for Japanese to do a big cleaning on the New Year’s Eve in order to celebrate the coming New Year.
I have started to clean and organize my rooms for the coming New Year.
With careful concerns for 3Rs, I have tried not to just “dump” stuffs in order to clean up my mess.
I love to get practical but artful ideas for how to organize my spaces from magazine articles and books.
I have read a book written by a Japanese organizing and cleaning expert who recovered from depression through cleaning up the mess in his house.
It is true cleaning brings me a feeling that I have started to work on my mess inside of myself as well.
Even a little bit visual progress to clean up the disorganized house brings me a positive feeling to refresh my life.
Happy Cleaning!

1 Apple and 1 Lemon A Day
Do you have any advises for keeping strong and healthy body?
I have eaten an apple a day since a child without knowing a proverb, “An Apple a Day keeps the Doctor away.”
I am very happy that I started to be able to purchase fresh apples harvested this fall.
My favorite apples are Fuji Apples and Gela Apples.
I am so looking forward to baking apples pies!
Besides eating an apple a day, I drink fresh lemon water almost every day except during summer.
I am very happy that I started to be able to purchase fresh lemons as well.
Let’s stay healthy this winter!

This Is It by Michael Jackson
Have you watched a movie, This Is It featuring Michael Jackson’s last performance?
My husband and I watched the movie today.
The movie was great!
To me, Michael Jackson and Diana Ross represented “U.S.A.” via radio and records while I grew up in Japan.
They are so special to me.
I wanted to get a privilege to see Michael Jackson’s live performances and I am very sorry I didn't get any chances.
The movie, This Is It made me think again that Michael Jackson was so special for his outstanding talent.
I love his singing and dancing beyond words.
Also, the movie presented Michael Jackson’s love and concern for our earth planet,
“Heal Our Planet”.
One of Michael's messages was “We need to take care of our planet.”
I am so sorry that we lost Michael Jackson.
