The Neighborhood

Tokyo Tower peeking through the skyline
Tsukiji Honganji Temple lights up !

I am going back to this space soon … Grateful for the freedom and for the understanding family who sees the value in taking care of another more vulnerable. One must advocate for the vulnerable, and be their voice if they are feeling powerless and lonely.

It is not called a sacrifice if one does not resent that effort. What kind of a mother for example regrets being there for her child. The care you give them today will return in multi-folds and besides, itsn’t it about giving or devoting your energies without expecting a return.

So it is the same with role reversals. Only this time there is no return other than that conscience wanting nothing more than life of no regrets.

Birthday in Tokyo

TREATS! Celebrating duel March birthdays – Chirashi sushi so beautiful – Wajima laquer bowl so beautiful …Friendship so appreciated – Gochisousama:)

Signs of being very stressed – tightened jaws, stiff shoulders, tight hips, shallow breathing, insomnia, odd pain at lower back … waking up in the morning already tired… still … employing all my knowledge from yoga therapeutics towards self-care to put on a happy face. To carry on.

With intentions to make my mother’s sunset time of life, hopefully a better one has given me a renewed sense of purpose. And at all times, what’s most effective in combatting this overwhelming energy drain for a reboot is through … Gratitude … Challenging times made a bit less painful, thanks to family and friends – forever grateful. Glad to be able to reciprocate those I owe so much gratitude to, one at a time, sharing. I would not have made it without going insane or seriously sick without your support. Arigato!!

Reboot – Looong line to contend with but for this caffeine addict

The owner barista serves up the best latte … so flavorful and having tried latte art, especially for SOY MILK, all the more appreciate the prettiness of the cup. Those who tired, we know it’s very challenging to do latte art with soy milk but this barista is sooo skilled – if it were not for the huge line, it would even be better but with the pressures of constant long lines, he still manages this. I love their coffee and this statement coming from someone who has beans roasted at home and ground at home and made each morning. Still Turret’s has its own unmistakable character. Thus, each morning, line out the door spilling into the alley where Starbucks is just down 100 steps or fewer. Hands down, the winner. Here.
