【講師コラム】メル講師No.17～“A journey of a thousand miles begin with a single step.” ~Chinese Proverb ～

Happy, happy New Year, Mommies and Daddies!!! Wow!!! I know I always mention about how days seem to pass by so quickly these days, but I still can’t fathom where and when did all those days in 2021 go… Hehe! Do you somehow feel me, Mommies and Daddies?..

Hmn… NEW YEAR’s DAY… I honestly don’t think it is different from any other days of the year, but for some reasons, the first day of year matters and means much to many of us… A NEW BEGINNING… That is probably how many people see the New Year… A chance to redirect ourselves and get things right… And, of course, New Year won’t be complete for many without having NEW YEAR’s RESOLUTIONS… Do you already have yours, Mommies and Daddies?..
Oh, to be completely honest, I can’t remember my 2021 resolutions anymore… But I would still like to have some for this year… And this time, I would like to make mine realistic achievable… This year I would like to live a HEALTHY LIFESTYLE… As mush as I hate to admit it, I really am not getting any younger… Some of you may already know how unhealthy my lifestyle is… I always sleep at around 4 or 5 am, I don’t exercise, I hate vegetables and I love eating junk food… Terrible, right?… But I am strongly aiming to live healthily from this year onward… There are still so many things that I would love to do in life as a mom, a daughter, a wife, a friend and as Teacher Mel… And I still want to help and rescue the homeless animals here. So, I’ve decided to also focus on my well-being to make sure that I can do all the things that I have in my heart…

2020 was a very difficult year for me… It probably was the toughest year in my life… But 2021 turned out to be a lovelier and kinder year for me… Thank you soooooo very, very BIG for being a huge part of my 2021, Mommies, Daddies, my amazing and beautifully unique students and Mommy Kayo… You have truly made my 2021 worthwhile… My 2022 have started with my whole family suffering from flu, but I am still soooooo positive this year is going to be a much more beautiful and blissful year for everyone of us… Oh, Life is crazy! It will surely throw in tons of challenges and roadblocks that are just so hard to anticipate… But I am also sure that God won’t let us face anything that we cannot handle… LIFE IS A BIG MESS, BUT IT IS BEAUTIFUL, don’t you agree, Mommies and Daddies?.. Oh, I can see you all smiling and nodding there, hehehe… Happiest New Year again, Mommies and Daddies… Cheers to all that is and that will be!!! May this year be kinder and full of many kinds of wonderful for us all…
