and here comes another year



Another year older, another year full of experiences, whether happy or painful, as long as it teaches me a lesson or two in life. The previous one was full of crazy stories, to say the least. All I know is, every time I welcome a new year, I'm thankful that I'm still alive and healthy with a roof on my head, my job(s), with friends by my side and family to support me. And of course, you, for reading my blog and giving the motivation to keep doing what I love to do.

This year I celebrated my birthday 450 meters above Tokyo atop the Skytree deck with a beautiful view of the city. The perfect way to end my night. 


また1歳年をとり、またたくさんの新しい経験をするでしょう。うれしいことも悲しいことも全部、人生の勉強になればいいなと思っています。大げさに言うと、前年はすごいことがたくさん起こりました。でも、はっきり言えることは、1年1年歳を重ねるたびに、元気に生きていて、頭の上にはちゃんと屋根があって、仕事もあって、側には友達、そして遠くから家族の支えがあることに更にありがたみを感じることです。そして、これを読んでくれているあなたもです!あなたのお陰で、このブログも続いているし、続けるモチベーションもしっかりもらってます。

今年は、地上450メートルから東京の夜景を楽しみました。スカイツリーは初めてだったので、感動。素敵な夜を過ごしました。
