Japan weather forecast channel predicts temperature could plummet to 2~3℃. I can not believe this. Because of today's temperature 16℃. It is not usual. Normally, about 10℃ is average in the middle of the area of Japan island. And it is sunny & dry in many of the days, not the gloomy sky, is clear blue with no cloud often. Actually, it is nice.
I was born in the midwinter, the day it was heavy snow, my mother said. From this and there are another many reasons, I like the Winter season.
Christmas Eve, Christmas, New year Eve, New year, Setubun (Japanese event) and St. Valentine's day. These days, it is happiest weeks.
My grandmother told domestic fairy tales in long winter nights in her bed. We had been sleeping together when I was a small child. I miss those days.
I can find joy a lot. Even just a bedtime in a cold night. Sleeping on a warm comfortable bed is dairy happiness. When snowfall, although traffics shut down also, people fall down, I love the view of white carpet everywhere.
After those hardest time + some joy, sweeter season Spring that you longed for is waiting.
Even if you are in a hard time now, can find a little joy and then, later, you will deserve a much nicer time.
Let's embrace the joy of life and live at the moment.
So, by the way, I have been working on two new items of MIDSUMMER. One is on this crumpled paper. I will make a form of a pullover with it.
I will show you the real one in the next coming weeks.
Keep warm and have a enjoy Midwinter!!
