Oideyasu! Please take off your shoes.
On her birthday (June 23rd), I present a little placard made by Mom with some aphorisms. Are these from Dale Carnegie or Norman Vincent Peale? I don't know, but this was hanging in our house for as long as I can remember. it must be at least 30 years old, I think it was a flower in the middle. Some things here that I should remember more often. Instead of burning incense in front of her altar, I put regular dry (sencha) tea in an aromatherapy burner, and lit a candle as usual under it. Great way to give your home a nice tea smell.
That's an unbelievable coincidence - it was my birthday yesterday too.
I like the placard. I've fallen in love with my work - web design - even though I don't know if it's the right thing for me, and I don't know if I'm good enough to do it for a living. I'll just stick at it until I am good I think.
Thanks, that kind of made my day, just a little bit, but enough.
