Now is a season that wind seems to be fragrant and all things become energetic.
I resulted in going to a bonesetter from my little carelessness, just as I was thinking it to utilize plenty of times effectively. Big shock !!!
However, I was feeling that times were passing away due to unexpected incident, and thinking that an incident would be valuable experience for me after few days.
Let try to spend times slowly and leisurely together with an incident !! I may think that was an excellent time ?    (K.Y)
