Today is Sunday and I was inside of the house most of the day for relaxing!  This time of the year it is very cold in Japan and many people are not feeling well. Which makes it very easy to become ill while using the very crowded Tokyo trains and the Tokyo Metro Subway system.  I thought I had made it through this season so far without catching anything, but I was incorrect. I came down with influenza on Friday evening and was inside for most of the weekend.

Since I choose to learn something from everything that happens in my life there was definitely a lesson here. I need to make sure that I take better care of myself during this season. I have to eat healthy and make sure that I get enough vitamins and minerals in order to keep my immune system strong. I also need to make sure that drink plenty of water and get lots of rest. And of course, remember to always think positive thoughts.
