Elly and I are not doing muscle training.
Elly found a cat on a garbage box!
Cat ignores Elly, usually…

This is a Sam-san and Tomo-san’s beloved dog.
Since they are out of town, Elly walks with me.

You can imagine that Elly is walking happily in the rain!
I realized that dogs like snow and rain.

京都の気温は、５月２８日から３０°を超え
今日、６月２日は、最高３６°で、最低１９°と、たまりません。

暑くても晴天ではなく、黄砂（PM２.５？）の影響で
空は霞んでいます。

嵐電風景

夏が近づき、夕方5時でもこの明るさです。
日差しが強い時は、外を歩くのが嫌になりますが、
この海を目にすると、やっぱり綺麗だなと感じてしまいます。

I sometimes take a long walk. These are self-service vegetable shops. Vegetables are fresh and inexpensive! So, I’m here to stop by. I’m not going to ride a horse!

先月、体調を崩しましたが、またしても体調を崩しました。
食欲不振と発熱、関節痛、胃の痛み…先月と全く同じ症状です。

再度受診してみると、なんと、胃潰瘍でした！
ストレスと戦うサラリーマンの仲間入りです。
胃薬をもらい、すっかり元気になりました。
おとといまではヨーグルトしか食べれませんでしたが、昨日はおにぎりも食べれるようになりました。
そして今日、以前から友人が私の誕生日パーティを計画してくれていたので、ピザやケーキを食べれるくらいに回復する必要がありました。
何とか胃の調子はよくなり、美味しくいただくことができました！

みんな同じようにストレスを抱えているし、私よりも大変な状況にある人が多いのに、
私だけ体調を壊すのは本当に情けないことです。

でもこうしてお祝いしてくれる仲間に支えられ、手作り料理に囲まれ、ありがたいなあ、としみじみ思います。
感謝の気持ちを忘れずにいたいと思います。

プレゼントに頂いた傘と共に…

When I was a young boy, my mother asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. It didn’t take long for me to think about what that was. I wanted to be a professional football player. I played Running Back for a number of years and really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, my knees couldn’t take the pressure and I was forced to stop playing the game I love. But every season, I make sue to watch as many games as I can on television.

As years went on I studied and did many other things, such as, computer programming, cooking in a restaurant, fashion and farming. None of these things fulfilled me nor fit the purpose of my life. Some time before I came to Hawaii I worked at Children’s Hospital in Boston where I learned a bit about Gastroenterology. I liked the hospital atmosphere and even started studying terminology and coding. But it wash’t until I came to Hawaii that I realized my destiny.

After working odd jobs here on the island, I studied and became certified as a CNA. Then I got certifications in Medical Assisting and Phlebotomy. Helping people medically has really been gratifying to me and I’ve realized purpose in doing what I do to help people. Every two years I certify for CPR and First Aid. As much as I don’t like having to retake the certifications I love what I do and hope to help people all around the world. With God’s help I will accomplish my dream..
