Gratitude
Body and mind have been frozen...
It hasn't gotten that far, but
winter is coming closer and closer, ne

Early afternoon
As usual, twilight came a little early, and I felt the sound of winter's footsteps.
With vegetable juice in one hand, I took a light stroll
I am fine as well today! v(^_^)
When I suddenly looked up, there was a
[picture of the sky with a vapor trail]
vapor trail in the sky. [note: vapor trail.. usually that cloud streak left by a fast plane]
I wonder since when it's been
that the really trivial things
that have captured my heart have lessened.
It really was only several years ago that
no matter how tired I would be
no matter how hurt I would be
one beautiful moment could instantly make my heart want to dance with joy
If these are the stairs that they say adults climb [note: if this is the price of adulthood]
then I want to be a child, frivolous though they are.
Probably
more than living your life skillfully,
though it may be naive, but, to me, living an honest life
is probably harder.
If I could become the latter, it would be great
if I could attain that balance, it would be yet even greater
It seems that it would still take some time
before I can come to think that I, myself, am great.
Somehow, I just ended up writing down
the things in my head, just as they were, but (lol)
What I wanted to say today was that
In this season that makes you think well about these kinds of things, "winter",
In this time, I very much feel "gratitude"
towards the various things.
Coffee in the morning, tea at noon
Dinner and bath in the evening
The sensation of my hands gradually warming up
once I've put them in my jacket, when it's cold outside
The warmth of a bet that tehy don't want to come out no matter what you have to sacrifice [note: he lost me on "bet"]
The warmth of people's hands, voices, and being together with people under the same sky
I'm happy that I can feel the coldness
My breath turns white when I breathe, making me feel the coldness with my own breath,
In the cold, I feel more things than I usually do
Somehow, every year, every time that winter arrives, I fall in love with winter.
Although I have to be this cold,
because Japan has four distinct seasons,
isn't it something to think about?
I love my current circumstances so much [note: connotation is something like "so much that it's unbearable"... "too much"]
I was thinking things like this today
I wonder if it's a present from an early-coming winter
I'm grateful
As I'm thinking that, it has gotten a litte colder, so
I will go back to my room, drink coffee or tea,
and I'll reaffirm once more my gratitude towards winter
Yo-i, don!!
