I hope that all is well and you are all finding a way to enjoy each and every precious moment of your gift of life no matter where you are in the world and no matter what you are doing!

I am doing great! I arrived safely in Los Angeles at 9:58am yesterday after a 9-½ hour flight from Tokyo. For most of the day I drifted in and out of consciousness at one of my sister’s home after staying awake the entire flight. When conscious I managed to enjoy a few precious moments holding my six-month-old nephew and engaging in meaningful baby talk.

Later in the evening I moved over to my mother’s home and enjoyed sharing time with my mom, my other sister and my nephews. Surprisingly I was able to temporarily work through my jetlag and have dinner with my family.  

Now, it’s after 1:00am and I am repacking my luggage to prepare for my trip to Houston, Texas tomorrow morning! So far I have managed to not contract the swine flu!

That’s all for now! Please take care, stay positive and have a great day
