The year 2016 is ending soon!

How are you spending the last night of the year?

 

“The year 2016”

 

It was not a desirable end of the year, 

but I am happy.  

 

 

When I had a Toshikoshi Soba (year-crossing noodles), 

 

 

I thought it was the best soba that I ever had in my life. 

 

 

Although I got a feeling of being about to vomit after eating, 

my happiness still remained in myself!

 

 

It was so dramatic this year, 

but I was able to connect with you all on this blog, KOKORO.

And I really appreciate you taking the time to send me so much encouragement. 

 

 

Appreciation.

Appreciated, appreciated, much much much appreciated.

To everyone who’s been physically with me, 

To everyone who’s been emotionally with me, 

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you.  

 

 

 

Today, my boy gave me this hand-made candy.

B…Big! 

It’s big but it’s a candy!

 

In the year 2017, 

I will keep my dream liberally without making assumptions.

 

Wish you all a happy new year.
