Today is the winter solstice and it is the shortest of daytime in a year.

In Japan, we eat traditional foods on "the winter solstice" to enjoy winter season with healthy foods.


So I will try to cook for our DINNER as our original way for today.

In Japan, they are good foods to eat today that pumpkin (Kabocha),carrot (Ninjin),rotus root(Renkon),orange (Mikan), radish (Daikon), Kumquat (Kinkan),Gin no　（Ginnan）etc..

So in Seattle, I can use only carrot and pumpkin for our dinner so I am thinking how to please DAVID tonight, anyway...^^.


Today is the shortest daytime of a year and today is the birthday of SUN to start new season from tomorrow.

So I will enjoy today's special day of this timing to finish this year and I want to cherish today with benevolence.


Only 10 days in 2016, it make me feel so short that this year has passed very very quickly.

Every year, I feel this rapid speed of passing day, week, month and year.


How do you feel this year??

Next Sunday will be Christmas day and after that NEW YEAR is coming day by day....


But for me, holiday's atmosphere can bother my mind so I just want to cherish each day as usual as I do.

Because I can feel every day as special as I am now in Seattle so I don't need specific holiday & big meaning of change of year.

Just day by day, I want to enjoy ONLY ONE DAY in my life, how about you???
