Happy New Year!
The year of the Rat has started.
A female rat is said to have
five or six litters a year.
So the rat is said to be a symbol
of the prosperity of one's posterity
子孫の繁栄, I hear.
Last year a number of disasters
occurred here and there.
Many people are still in difficult
conditions.
I hope they will not be discouraged
about their life.
I can't help praying for
“No more disasters this year.”
Yesterday I visited a local shrine
熊野宮 with my daughter's family.
What a happy and peaceful day
I had!
I'm deeply grateful to be alive.
