Akemashite Omedetto Gozaimasu: Happy New Year *bowing*
You haven’t seen this one before— this new day, this new year— and neither have I.
How lucky for us to be here to welcome yet another year. And so, as we stand at the
start line, forward-looking, I want to wish you a Spectacularly Happy New Year.
Thanks for visiting. May blessings abound–
Aside:
In the Japanese language, the first sunrise of the year is Hatsuhinode
The first snow of the year is called Hatsuyuki
Now you know… *wink*
I’m a simple woman who dares to see the beauty in ordinary. I’d love to connect with you and like pen pals, I want something beautiful to blossom between us. Will you join me? Selma is my middle name. Its meaning—peaceful, complete, are euphoric affirmations I like to think of myself as having. They compliment the joy I feel when I write. I sincerely hope you decide to join me on my writing journey. I Wish You Miracles.
