That's the WAY!!

Sometimes, there are things that you can't do anything about it. You can't change things in the way you want to do or you think it supposed to be. But That's quite NORMAL!! That's how it is. We can't do anything about it. Once I know it, I less suffer. Though, I still suffer. I wish the feeling of suffering will be gone just like the stream in the river. It disappears as it created. My friend taught me that try to enjoy the moments rather than thinking "I have to do". That's a good advice. I should try harder to make happiness rather than asking myself why I am suffering. Problems or difficulties in life make me always think. Think and learn. It's not easy most of the time but I am hoping that the experience I have is something that could help me in a long run. As long as I have hope, wish and continue to find the right ways to live, I think everything will be alright. Isn't it?

It's was a first night shift in 5 years since I left Japan. I just came back home from a nursing home where I started to work from this week. I actually enjoy very much going back to work as a nurse again. I haven't done this for such a long time and the duty at the nursing home is different from that in hospital. I was lucky to work with the other experienced nurse who taught me through most of the duty very thoroughly tonight . The responsibility I have is challenging role for me.

Most of my friends(Overseas Qualified Nurses) who studied together to improve our English for nursing at TAFE two years ago passed the assessment to practice as a registered nurse in Australia, and they are working in nursing homes and hospitals. We only had one chance to have the assessment so we were always nervous to think about it and our unknown future. Looking back the time when we w

Another photo from the local news paper in Nagano, Japan. I used to visit this place in spring when I was a college student in Komagane(southern Nagano). I miss a outdoor party under the tree of cherry blossoms! There were some alcohol, food, BBQ, and karaoke! Cherry blossoms are really pinky and lovely. I wish I can show you the real colour.

From the local news paper in my home town in Japan. In early spring, there is a road opening through the snow walls. I've never been to the road, but it must been fascinating.

It may sound a bit strange but I had been afraid of getting out of comfort zone for a long long time. Although I left Japan and came to Australia where is very different environment from I used to live, I was trying to be in a comfort zone to keep myself safe. Year 2008 is the turning point which I started to learn how to across beyond the comfort zone by knowing it's normal to be afraid to do something new but it's not as bad as I usually imagine. I remember I used to have confidence and never afraid of anything when I was very young. As I get older, as I failed to do something, as I experienced bitterness of life and relationships with others, as I injured or got sick, I became more less confident and fearful of something that I couldn't control. Yes, there are many things that I can't control such as nature, time, gravity, people's mind, emotions that created spontaneously, and so on. However I had enough of it, I suffered enough from it.
