It has been very cold these days and we had snowfall we seldom see around here yesterday afternoon for a short while.
It's very cold today too.
In this coldness, those who are attacked by influenza began to increase in number.
So we should be careful not to be the sickness.

January 21 was one of the 24 seasonal datum points called 'DA-I-KA-N' ; and very cold days will continue for some time around this time.
These are the pictures of sunset on the day.
Reflection of the sun on the path was so nice.

I went to a hospital today.
About five months have passed since my operation on my right eye.
The name of the disease is macular pucker.
About a week after the operation, my corrected eyesight was 0.4.
Two weeks after, 0.6.
Three weeks after, 0.8.
Three months after, 1.5.
And today, 1.2.
I'm happy to get well.
I'll go to the hospital two months later next.
January 1
I visited our zen temple for the first time this year to pray for our happiness and our good health.
We recited some sutras for about half an hour with our priest.
After that we had new year's SAKE to celebrate new year.
And we also had sweet red bean soup with rice cake and mandarin orange and so on chatting with each other.
I could have a good time.
January 2
I visited our shrine to pray for our health and good luck in this year.
There seemed to be much people January 1, but I saw few people in the afternoon on that day.
Visiting them, I felt fresh and easy or peaceful !
Happy New Year !
I wish this year be a calm and happy one.
By the way, I found the words of a bulletin board at a zen temple being renewed.
The meaning of the words no.14 is
'Laugh or smile and a good luck will come'.
So let's smile !
