MAY WE HAVE A PEACEFUL, JOYFUL AND WONDERFUL NEW YEAR!!
We went to the shrine today to pray for our safety and good health as well as for our family, relatives and friends here and abroad. As usual, there was a long queue of people waiting for their turn. So we had waited for almost an hour moving our feet slowly, two steps, three steps but mostly one step (laugh), under the cold but somewhat cloudy sunlight. While waiting in line a group of young girls in front of us were chatting happily and endlessly. By just listening to their conversation made us smile. (^-^) Oh, well, it was the great energy of the youth we got for sure. Cheerfulness! I'll have it all throughout the year....Thanks.
