Hope everyone is having a great Thanksgiving holiday. This is the time of the year to really appreciate for what you have.

I could keep listing more and more, about pretty much everything around myself.  We often don’t realize how fortunate we are, as we sometimes take things for granted. During this holiday break, let’s take time to appreciate for what we already have. We often don’t realize how lucky we are until we lose it one day.  But let’s not be that way.

One last note,  I can’t finish today’s blog without saying this.  I am really grateful for my blog readers out there.  I feel fortunate that I have a place where I can share my background related to Japanese language or my home country, Japan.  Thank you for taking the time to read my blog posts.  I appreciate every minute of your time, and your willingness to learn Japanese!  Thank you!
