Grateful for:
- The beautiful picturesque garden we went to this morning.
- Experience of Noh theater with its strange mixture of human sounds and instruments and lulling sleepy effect
- Wonderfully tasty tofu lunch in a cafe before the Philosopher’s path
- Seeing artists at work at The Philosopher’s path and buying beautiful hand painted cards that inspired me to paint again
- Taking Calligraphy and Ink Art class in Kyoto International center and drawing flowers in ink and learning to spell my name in Kanji
- Having a foodie’s night out again at Sanjo and Nishijiki markets: Italian for dinner, then Papa Jon’s coffee and cake and the usual Starbucks matcha latter before going home
- Watching Chirstmas Carol on a big screen in English and crying through half a movie feeling so sad for Scrooge and all the Scrooges of the world
- The wonderful autumn sunny day
- Feeling extra grateful for the way this day has been full of interesting and beautiful things and places and experiences.
- Free internet and variety of 50 cent community classes in Kyoto International Center that enable us to learn Japanese, calligraphy, painting, Ikebana and many others.
- Having a warm bath to soak in and read at the end of the day.
