Hiromi Usagi!

We don’t celebrate Thanksgivings and many people don’t know about it. We have similar celebrations in Fall–Moon watching, one of my favorite celebrations, but not holidays=no day off. People used to believe that rabbits were making a sticky rice cake on the moon. Of course, I had the rice cakes on the day!! It has been a couple of months, I think. One of my clients is visiting her sister who lives in Seattle and will have thanksgiving dinner with her. Oh thanksgiving, I almost forgot about it. I might cook something yummy since Kaori is coming for two days in next week. My parents’ sweet potatos are soooooo delicious! I baked them with skin on in the oven. It turned out so good.

I have been reading a Japanese website about sort of self-help?/ healing method –psychological stuff? I guess. I can’t describe it well, but he says something like, “you should like yourself in order to like other people, and if you struggle with your low self-esteem, that means you are judgemental towards the others too, and so on.” I can’t describe it well, but his logic makes sense to me and I always realize that I created stress or worries by myself. Well, even if I am in the same situation, I can see things with different perspectives and feel different. His writing has been like a therapy to me for several months.

I didn’t read them carefully for a long time, but I just started paying attention to it. I think it is a good thing, yeah…maybe, meeting new people all the time and asking and being asked about people’s lives make me super conscious about myself. Oh well, maybe, I am just exhausted…haha

I want to buy a Feng Sui book and Chinese medicinal cook book, haha…so nerdy… I am drinking Yuzu-nade (like lemonade, but with Yuzu/ Japanese citrus which my parents sent me the other day!) sooooooo good. I need good honey…raw honey…where can I buy it?

My friend said that I make good stories out of ordinary daily life. I wonder if that menas my life is not exciting and I just make a big deal out of it? I took it as a compliment though.

Speaking of books, I want to buy a new? Murakami book with short stories. Oh..murakami phase again…
