大変な時はもっと大変になるんだと。 When the going gets tough.. it'll get even tougher!

(English below)

最近は本当に忙しい事や気持ちが折れそうになる事がいくつかあった。

まぁ、簡単にいうと運が悪かっただけの事なんだろうけど。

「あれをしていれば、、、」「こうすれば良かったな、、、」と少し公開する気持ちもあったりしたけど、過去は変えられないし、後悔から気持ちを次の幸せを生み出す為の行動に変えないとね。

自分は大好きな愛犬のジャズがいつも教えてくれる事は、「自分は今この瞬間ここに生きている」という哲学の大切さ。未来への不安や過去の失敗の後悔や罪悪感や妬み、プライドとか不思議な感情にかられていない。

毎日幸せな事がちょこちょこ起きている事も変に未来と過去に振り回されている時は気づけない事も。

今日も一日色々と忙しかったけど、これから一つ大切な生徒のレッスンを頑張って夜はまた仕事の続きをします!

いつも皆の応援本当に感謝しています。その分人の幸せへ貢献できるように自分もやる事やって頑張ります!

To be honest, sometimes I feel like giving up.

These past few days have been really tough for me for several reasons, but I remember something my dog taught me.

"You can only live one second at a time". "now" is all we have. The past and future are just a part of our imagination that really is only an imaginary reference point or guide for helping us decide what to do "now". All of our enjoyment or happiness comes from how we feel at this exact instant.

I do miss my dog since I haven't seen her for a while now, but I'm happy that I was with her. I can't wait to see her again soon.

Today was another really busy day, but after teaching one more lesson I'll be back home to continue with some unfinished work.

I really want to thank everyone who is always cheering me on and supporting me no matter what. I hope to return their kindness by doing my best to help make others around me just as happy and successful!  

This photo is a photo I took yesterday in the rain near my student's house.

The Sakura trees are really beautiful this time of year. I like how they look in the rain too…!
