Getting older

 

#reverb12 Day 13: Some selfie love?


As I get older,  the number of wrinkles are increasing.
As I get older,  my wrinkles are getting deeper and thicker.
As I get older,  my sunspots on my cheek deepen. 
As I get older,  losing weight gets harder.
As I get older,  getting fat is easier.

As I get older,  I become more optimistic.
As I get older,  I can make decisions by myself.
As I get older,  I can study what I want to learn.
As I get older,  I can eat delicious dishes whenever I want.
 As I get older, I have more freedom.
Getting older is not good for my skin and my health, but good for myself.

Japanese Tea Ceremony.
My 2012 started from this majestic event.

I served green tea to many guests in this event.
This was my first time,so I was so nervous. That's why I cannot show my face
to you!!
During the event, I sometimes made mistakes of the direction of a teacup 
when putting it on the table. Most of the teacups have the front side even if 
it don't have a handle of cup.  If it has some design, it's easy to distinguish
the front side.
How about this teacup??



Where is front side??
Can you distinguish which side is front??

A lot of guests said to me, " What a nice kimono!!", " Your kimono design makes me happy!!," or "the way of tying Obi is great!!"  despite my mistakes.

Now matter how old I am, being praised makes me happy.
When people are praised, most people might feel happy.

Now I came up with an idea.
"If I always praise myself, can I be much happier??

How do you think of this question??
