It has been very warm winter, although last week we had a big snow day in Japan, including here in Kyoto.
How are you doing on keeping your new year resolution?
I luckly happen to wake up early to visit Yoshida shrine for new year greeting on new years day and I found of morning fresh air since then and GUESS WHAT!
I, myself used to be more night person, become a morning person like a bird!
It actualy surprises me. LOL
Well, since then my dairy routeen is to wake up before sunrise to walk up to Yoshida mountain, go through the shrine to get to Kurodani temple to meditate while the monks do their morning chantings!!
It got so much snow last week, though my walking routeen is still with me.
What a surprise!
Everyday, same pathway...
thuogh none of the morinings are the same ever.
nothing is the same.
it stated to remind of me the spirite of appreciation.
the every life,
the every neighbors,
the everyday food,
the every breath...
it kinda nice to sense the changes in the same routeen.
It is a habit I happend to create with joy in taking one deep breath of morning fresh air.
Start with pleasurable new year resolution is not a bad idea.
I wish you all a year with full of discovery and smiles.
...Something to come up soon...
