    日々あるものに感謝する心は、心に余裕がないとできないことだと思う。だから、「何かに感謝する時間」を持つことは、心に余裕を作る時間でもあると思う。心に余裕ができれば、少しのことでイライラしなくなったり、笑顔で過ごせる時間が増え、他人に対しても居心地のよい atmosphere ができると信じてます。

    I lived in this area for 18years but never hiked this trail before. It was really close and easy to go. I was happy to see young girls (high school girls) were hiking up and one family with small childrens were having lunch at the top of the mountain.

    I went for bike ride to next town (1hour), hike up to the small mountain (1hour), down (30min) and came back with bike (1hour). After that I throw frisbee with my nephew and brother. It was great exercise day and quality time with my family.
