暑い日差し、日の長い毎日、創作に向かない気候、

何かと季節のせいにしてテンションの高い人たちが増える時期

こんなにも夏が嫌いなのに生まれ月の8月

夏の終わりの誕生日

今年も何事もなく無事に過ぎ

歳を重ねるって素敵なことだなぁと思う

子供の頃から、20代30代を飛び越えて、

早くおばあちゃんになりたいと思ってきた気持ちは

今も変わっていないけれど

歳を重ねるごとに当たり前だけれど死に近づいていて

だからこそ生きる意味が年々増している気がする

心も、関わる人間も、衣食住も、

なるべく余計なモノを持たずに

質が良くほんとうに必要なものだけをほんの少しだけ

それらを与え合えたりできるのならもう万々歳

今までもずっとそうだったけれど

これからもまた、そう新たな気持ちで

たくさんの人達に支えられたここまでの人生に

そして離れていても近くにいても

心の通ったバースディメッセージを下さった方々に

感謝を込めて

Thank you so much everyone for all the lovely birthday wishes!

You guys made my day!
Big hugs and kisses♡
