it's not life that matters but the journey...

thanks - I hope to start writing more about Japanese culture in the future. I'm glad you're enjoying the pics and posts:)

Soba is really good, though an acquired taste. your varskeciai sounds really good, but very high in calories! thankfully most Japanese dishes are healthy, though I'm not exercising enough these days because I'm lazy!

Ali said the same thing about making your own traditions. I think that's what we all need to do as we get older. honor old traditions, but create new ones. I'd love to hear your thoughts, if you post something.

*hugs* and happy holidays to you and yours!
