To focus my consciousness completely on the present moment, I do Shodo (Japanese calligraphy) meditation and also sometimes diamond painting art. It's fun!

今この瞬間に意識を全集中させる為に、書道瞑想に加え、ダイヤモンドペインティングアートも時々やってます。楽しいですよ!

A Japanese DIY candy that I bought at a local Asian supermarket. I've seen it at Japanese supermarkets and Asian markets in other states and cities too. If you're interested, give it a try. It's important to sometimes return to your childhood spirit and play😄

Zen wisdom: Be like water. 🌊✨
Flexible yet strong, adapting without losing essence.
Flow around obstacles, carve paths with gentle persistence. Resilience isn't force, but graceful movement through life's challenges.

"Neither good things nor bad things last forever."
What you arbitrarily consider 'good' right now might someday change into 'bad'.
What you arbitrarily consider 'bad' right now might someday change into 'good'.
So, don't let your emotions be swayed by what is happening now.

Courage comes from taking action, not the other way around—you don't take action because you feel courageous.

Confidence and bravery are built through experience and doing, not through waiting until you feel completely ready.

Chisoku: Japanese Zen Wisdom of Contentment

It's not about settling. It's about:

Appreciating what you already have
Finding richness in simplicity

Contentment isn't about having everything.
It's about loving everything you have.

Wabi Sabi: Aging is poetry.
Rivers smooth stones into elegant beauty.
Every crack tells a story.
Perfection is an illusion.
Real beauty breathes, changes, transforms.
Let's embrace our beautiful imperfect journey. 🍃🍂

The beauty of Kana (Hiragana and Katakana) is that....

it starts with ai 愛 = love and ends with (w)on 恩 = gratitude.

簡単ではないけれど、愛と感謝の気持ちをいつも忘れないようにしたいものですね。

It's not easy, but we should try to never forget love and gratitude.
