~:[CH8 - Day 181]:~ Closing Out Another One
When you travel, you lost track of what day of the week it is and sometimes, you remember the day. When the end of a month comes, even in our daily lives, we sometimes forget that it has arrived. It simply comes and goes. However, with every milestone that we reach in our lives, whether a day, a month, a year or more, we should appreciate all that we have and all that we are given. I reconnected with a Tokyo friend who I just saw in Los Angeles and also was able to work and reconnect with another local friend. As exhausting as the day was, especially with the train, I feel so truly blessed to have the opportunities that I do and as the final seconds of this month tick away, I will cherish these very special opportunities. From the citrus-flavor or lime and yuzu in my soba and ramen to to the lights of Shinjuku that glisten in the puddles that formed on the ground from the rain earlier. There is a lot to appreciate in this world and as we close out these first six months, let's make sure that we appreciate all that we are given in the six to come, day by day.
