The cherry season is over in Tokyo
and now is the season of fresh leaves.
The trees are coming into leaf.
I can't help feeling the wonders of nature.
===========
I make it a rule to walk about 8000 steps a day.
I must admit that I'm getting older year by year.
I can't walk fast.
I can't walk with long steps.
I can't run.
Don't be discouraged, Karin!
You are happy that you can walk, Karin.
You are getting older
but you are in good condition.
Yes, I am happy
to be fully alive.
