It was really hot today, in addition to being very humid! Yet, I managed to have a great day today! Of course, I plan to do the same tomorrow. I intend to have a great day tomorrow!

I am currently in Tokyo, Japan and it is the “rainy season!” “It’s raining, it’s pouring an oyajisan (middle aged man, me) is snoring! I woke up this morning before 7:00am and it was raining and it has not stopped for the past five hours! Do you want to know the forecast for today, rain! It is currently 75 degrees, with a low of 73 and a high of 79 projected. Did I mention that the humidity is 83%! I almost forgot to mention that it would also be raining tomorrow with a high of 81 degrees! I intend to enjoy each and every precious moment of my life, no matter what the weather is!

"It’s a small world after all! It’s a small world after all!" Ha! Ha! Today I visited the Sunshine City, a shopping center mall located underground in Ikebukuro. I used to visit there quite often to write poetry and drink coffee at one of the McDonald’s there. I had not been there for four or five months, so I was really surprised when fate reconnected me with not one, but two people I had not seen in four or five months. It is quite amazing that even in a big city the size of Tokyo with it’s millions of people, that I can happen to meet people I have not seen for awhile. So I have to ask this question? Was it chance, or was it my destiny to meet these people once again?

(6-18-07) How do I feel today? I feel much better then yesterday! It was a very challenging day for me. I went through the entire day in intense pain! My back was hurting, my mouth (teeth), my back, my knees and I also had a migraine headache the entire day. Despite all the challenges I experienced yesterday, I did not have a bad day. 

I have been in the house most of the today relaxing. I am still working through the pain today. I remembered that pain is my body’s way of telling me that things are not working right inside. I have thought a lot about what I can learn from my experiences yesterday. I also thought about how I can use what I learned to make my life better today and in my future.

The difference between today and yesterday is, instead of focusing on my pain, my energy is focused on healing and feeling better! I intend to feel good today and each and every precious moment of my life! I intend to live pain free each and every precious moment of my life! I intend to take better care of my body and each and every precious moment of my life, since it’s the only one I have!

Here in Japan, it is the beginning of the rainy season that can be described as very hot and very wet! It started raining shortly after I arrived here on Tuesday. It rained throughout the day on Thursday from the time I woke up (I stayed in the house all day), until the evening when I went to Saizeriya for dinner. Of course I got soaking wet!
