FOR TODAY January 24, 2012

Outside my window...dark and cold night (4 degrees Celsius)(39 Fahrenheit).

I am thankful...to warm UNIQLO fleece and heatteck stuff. They keep me warm in a cold day.

In the kitchen...There are some plates to be waiting to be washed. For dinner we had "Nabe hotpot seasoned with Korean pickles".

I am wearing...a cream white fleece and khaki pants with black socks. Very comfy and warm. My room has only a small heater, so it is a bit cold.We have no central heating system in Japanese houses.

I am arranging...flowers in the vase. My 82-year-old mother takes a lesson of flower arrangement every Tuesday. So she brings them back to home, then I put those flowers into a vase in the living room on behalf of her. It's my own style.

I am going...to bed earlier today to recover from a cold. Now I have asthma-like symptoms.

I've finished reading "Endurance"  Shackleton's Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing. It's a very inspiring book.

I am hoping that the cold lets up this Friday and Saturday. I'll play tennis with my friends.

I am looking forward to meeting my daughter's family this weekend. To meet my grandson gives me joy.

I am learning about how to take better pictures.

I am pondering...about another earthquake. I pray for no more earthquake hit  Japan.

One of my favorite things...is the time to open the curtains in the morning and feel the energy of the bright sun.

A few plans for the rest of the week...English study session on Wednesday, enjoying tennis on Friday and Saturday, family reunion on Saturday and Sunday.

Here is a picture I am sharing... I bought this warm pants today. Love at first sight. What do you think?

  2. Your warm pants make me laugh, beagleAnnie! They are very colorful. In Colorado, we would say "Avalance insurance," because if you wore them and got covered up in snow, you would be quickly found because of the bright colors! Have a good day!
