Good morning from Los Angeles! I hope that all is well and you are finding a way to enjoy each and every precious moment of your life!

It is about 6:51am on November 17. I arrived safely in Los Angeles, California on the evening of November 16 at about 8:25pm after a 4-½ hour flight from President  Elect Barack Obama’s hometown of Chicago! I entered the United States through customs at Chicago O’Hare Airport after an 11-½ hour flight from Tokyo, Japan.

I will be staying with some family members here in Los Angeles for the first few days. Being in LA 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 come upon in my life.

Having a few good friends is very important for me. However, as obtain additional life experience I find comfort in having my wife and my other family members as the core of my support network. Of course everything works even better when I am the most important person in my life!

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