Awareness of Coffee

  I like drinking coffee. Before I moved to NY, I didn’t care about their taste so much. That was nothing but coffee. After starting a new life in NY, I came to make coffee by myself a lot at home and now I’m doing it everyday.

  From last week when the previous coffee bag ran out, I began using another coffee bean I’ve bought before. I could realize the smell and taste are extremely different and I much prefer the previous one. This perception was the biggest for me. Until now, I’ve noticed some differences among the coffee beans I drank; however, I felt them less than this time.

  Now, I’m interested in other flavors and brands more and also tips to make good coffees. Perhaps, it’ll be a nice time to find them...I’ll research!

Devotion Skills

  It’s been almost one year since I made a habit of doing Yoga almost everyday. I always use videos which show one of the famous Japanese Yoga teachers. Her way of teaching is very clear and this is a crucial key to becoming popular. Today, I found she's been posting many live courses these days.

  I heard her thoughts before on the Internet. The thing she wants is just helping people become healthier for their bodies and minds. That impressed me because that’s why most of her videos don’t have ads which bother us while watching. (I can’t criticize many Youtubers who put ads on their videos for earning money since it’s just business though.)

  When I noticed her present actions for us, I can’t stop thinking why she can do that like devotion that is amazing. She provides me not only a way of yoga but a better way of living.

Energy Chargers

  It was our first time when we talked on the Web although she didn’t show up into the camera because she said “I already took off my makeup.”

  She is my friend from University and now works in the Greater Tokyo Area. After our graduation from the university, we entered each company and spent our own time on a very different path. Several years later, I heard she quit her job and went to the U.K. via “a working holiday” program. She is honest to herself (of course, to friends as well) and sometimes puts action before thinking and hesitating.

  I like talking with her even though we don’t often do it since she always has new ideas and new activities like jobs, interests and hobbies (sometimes stupid thing, too!). In addition, she always tells me, “I can turn perfect today because of you!” although I don’t say anything special for me. As well as her, I always feel to recieve her energy. It seems to provide our energy to each other.

Maiden’s Prayer

  Since the start of this year, I’ve resumed practicing the piano. My present practice song is “Maiden’s Prayer” in English. That was written by Badarzewska as the original name “Midlitwa dziewicy” in Polish in 1856. This melody is beautiful so it fascinates a lot of people in the world even now, of course me as well. In addition, the reason why I like playing the piano is that I love to imagine and sometimes interpret what the song means, and I also love to express my image and feeling with them.

  “This song matches the present situation when many people are praying.” I always feel while practicing it. This song, like a lot of simmering stars, seems to lead us to our hopeful future.

Had a Bad Day

  One song keeps playing in my head. This is “Bad Day” that was made by Daniel Powter from Canada a while ago. This song is said to be made after his struggle at that time because he hadn’t made hit songs until then.

  Recentry, in this hard situation of COVID-19, this song makes me feel better. I get the impression that this song heals us. I understand everything has the beginning and the end such as several huge earthquakes and an awful Tsunami in Japan. I believe everyone can learn from everything. Everyone can be stronger through every experience. Everyone can be kinder than ever. We have a lot of chances that make us glow.

  After this, we will be able to say, “Yeah, we just had a bad day” while smiling.
