I can't believe 10 days have already passed this year. At this rate, I think this year, too, will fly by fast. I feel like I say the same thing every year. I get up at 6:30 am, fix my bedhead, have breakfast quickly, and go to work on weekdays. When I get home from work, I take a bath and watch movies/dramas on Amazon Prime on weeknights until going to bed. These are the daily routine that brings me peace of mind. I did "Hatsumode" which means our first visit to the shrine this year for the first time in two years. I drew a fortune slip and it said: "Kichi" which means "good luck"(On the other hand, my kids took fortune slips called "Kyo" which means "bad luck"...haha). I prayed for my family’s health and happiness to God. Unfortunately, the war between Ukraine and Russia shows no sign of stopping and the number of new cases in Japan still remains high. I really hope many countries keep after them to stop the war and a peaceful day will come quickly. And I also hope Covid-19 will go away and everything is going back to normal earlier this year.
