Good morning from Los Angeles! It is about 4:50am on May 5th. I arrived safely in Los Angeles, California on May 2 at about 10:00am! I have been having a great time here in Los Angeles sharing time with my family! Being here in Los Angeles reminds me how fortunate I am to have a very close, caring and loving family.

I feel that having a close relationship with my family makes it easier for me to work through whatever challenges that I encounter in my life. As get older I find comfort in having my family be an essential part of my support network.

It is amazing how quickly times goes by when I feel am getting the most out of each and every precious moment of my life!  I have one more day and I will be flying back to Tokyo on May 6. I better get a few hours of sleep so I can enjoy the rest of my time here in Los Angeles!

Please take care, stay positive and have a good evening and a great day tomorrow! See you again soon!
