Marking each moment
Ono Karori
“What do you want to do? What are your goals?”
My husband asked me while looking at the report card I got from school.
Since the start of summer vacation for my daughter in the second grade of elementary school and my son in the first grade of junior high school
A week has already passed.
I was just rethinking how I use my time.
My daughter was dejected and couldn't say anything to my husband's question.
I decided to think about "what I want to do."
First, a large blank sheet of paper
Write down the things you like, the things you enjoy, and the things you are passionate about.
As I wrote about what was fun about it, my daughter also started to enjoy it.
"I've already decided what I want to do in the future," she told me.
1. Making sweets
2. Flower-related matters
3. Professional gamer
I remember making sweets and giving them to everyone when I was in kindergarten and enjoying it.
I was surprised because he has been focusing on games recently and there was no sign of that happening.
Indeed, both of the books I borrowed from the school library to read during the summer vacation were about baking.
I felt that I had not noticed this, so I decided to choose a few things I wanted to make from this book during the summer vacation.
The first sweet I chose was ginger cookies.
This is also surprising...I remember recently you said you didn't like ginger.
That's what I thought, but I guess I just kept it as a memory from when I was a young child.
I have three little ones who want to do it on Sundays...
I had a long talk with my eldest daughter and we were planning how to spend the summer vacation.
I think that from just this casual conversation, she was able to relax and talk about the things she liked and what she wanted to do.
When we are children, it is natural to think that we have infinite time.
We rarely realize that each invisible moment is finite.
Previously, in my diary, "how to live" meant "how to live each day"
I wrote that, but if we break it down even more, it comes down to how you live each hour out of the 24 hours.
If you don't create it with your own will and thoughts, time will just pass by.
1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 1 year, 10 years later
“What is your goal?” “What is your vision for yourself on stage?”
Counting backwards from that goal
You will see what you should do and what you shouldn't do.
I think that's why my husband always asks that question to everyone.
"How you use your time is how you live your life"
A sentence that someone wrote comes to mind.
Giving up on the idea that you can't have time for yourself means giving up on your own way of life.
Well, I don't want to give up!
I believe that my time will come.
I want to take the first step to support my children.
Now I think about how I spend my time.
I want to face what I want to do from now on.
We will be closed today, Monday, as we are dismantling the exhibit.
You can still view Shimizu Shiro's work online until 9pm on Thursday, August 1st.
I would be happy if we could meet.
Have a great week this week too.
