I have seen three friends this week so far and planning to get together with another tomorrow. One a lifelong friend I have known since I was not even a year old who is more like a sister. The second, a junior high school friend who has come back into my life during the last couple of years...and I am so happy to be reconnected to her. The third...an amazingly positive young woman who I greatly admire and I am old enough to be her mom!...who I … [Read more...]
Inspiration
Today I am under the weather...I have caught a cold since returning from my trip and just resting and listening to music. These 2 songs I am posting below are the inspirations for the name of my website. The first one is The Hurt and the Healer by Mercy Me. The second one is #41 by Dave Matthews Band and has been one of my favorite songs for many years. Both are particularly special to me at this point in my life. Please check them out … [Read more...]

I had noooo idea … [Read more...]

We have returned back to Noriko's house in Chiba from our 3 night trip in Okinawa.

I wish I could transport myself … [Read more...]
Friday
As I posted earlier...I woke up to the news that my uncle had passed away. My brother wrote and told me that he died in his sleep of heart failure. I am relieved to know he went peacefully. His wife and family are definitely in my thoughts right now. As well as my Dad...I am sure this was not easy for him. Today we had a leisurely day around the house. We went out for a bit to the grocery store which had a a kids arcade so Kazu could play … [Read more...]
