I make sketches whenever I find something inspiring and touching. Those moments filter through my mind and create a small world in my sketch book.

何気ない日常の中で心が温まることを見つけた時、スケッチブックに描きとめるようにしている。そのできごとは、私の心を通って想像の世界で生き続ける。

Slow life




My job got slow down now, so my mind is slowing down, too.
Since Maya is able to walk longer now, we walked to her preschool one morning. On the way, we found so many flowers on the sidewalk we haven't noticed when we drive by. So we had a little bit of a biology class.
I mentioned in one of the posts that I don't like to drive a car and I enjoy biking with her. But this time we were even slow down to walking. The slower our life is, the more we appreciate small things in everyday life.

仕事の方が一段落着いたので、気分的にもリラックスムードの今日この頃です。
マヤが、長距離歩けるようになったので、この前プリスクールまで歩いて行ってみました。途中で、たくさんの花が住宅の庭先に咲いるのを発見して、観察をしながらのんびり登園しました。
以前のポストに、車が苦手なので自転車で通園していると書きましたが、今回はさらに徒歩にスローダウンしてみたら、自転車からでは見逃してしまうような小さなものに気づく事ができました。

  1. I agree! You can see little thing when we walk and slow down. Thank you for sharing good thoughts.

  2. Thank for your comment, Sansu!
    When Maya was a baby, I used to stroll around pushing the stroller.
    (It was good work out for me, too!) But I noticed that I don't walk as much as before... I'm glad Maya is older and enjoys walking.
