It has been thirteen years and three hundred and
seventeen days in a row since I broke my bad habit
of smoking.
I was able to keep 32-time push-ups for the eighth
straight day and greater than 9-time push-ups for
the one year and fifty-fifth consecutive day.

Again, completely unlike yesterday, it is greatly
and beautifully sunny in Nagoya.
I am sure that today is typically autumnal because
there are almost no clouds in the blue sky with the
current temperature of about 18 degrees.
And ? ...I was still able to enjoy one cherry blossom
this morning on the cherry tree in a park on my way
to and from my workplace.
Anyway, I may have to start preparing for this year's
cold and brace my nerves not to catch a cold.

Thirteen years and three hundred and fifteen days
in a row have passed since I shook off a bad habit
of smoking.
I was able to keep at least 10-time push-ups for the
one year and fifty-third successive day including
the most recent six days of 32-time push-ups.

Completely unlike yesterday, it has been overcast
in Nagoya since early this morning and actually it
is a little dark with clouds blocking the sunlight.
I have noticed that the number of new green leaves
on the cherry branches in a park on the way to my
workplace is surely increasing, and I can see just
a little more cherry blossoms on them than before.
Does this happen often?
Has abnormal weather been causing the cherry blossoms
to bloom out of season?
By the way, yesterday's highest temperature in Nagoya
was .... 30 degrees....OMG!

I have succeeded in preventing myself from smoking
for thirteen years and three hundred and thirteen
days in a row.
I was able to keep 32-time push-ups for the fourth
straight day and over 9-time push-ups for the one
year and fifty-first consecutive day.

It has been pretty cloudy in Nagoya since early this
morning and I feel that it is a little humid.
I have noticed that there are several new leaves on
the branches of the cherry trees in a part on my way
to and from my workplace.
I am sure that after all leaves fell, the leaves have
appeared, and very surprisingly I can also see a few
cherry blossoms on the cherry trees....OMG!
Is this an omen of good fortune or of bad luck?
