Same smile in the next year as well...

I was off yesterday, and I did cleaning my room before welcoming 2018. Almost 90% is done. My flat is very small, and so it doesn't take me long even for regular daily cleaning. I have a bit more time on the New year's Eve, I will do it the rest. 

What makes difference between regular cleanings and this end-of-year cleaning may be we are putting some more feeling while doing cleaning. Appreciating the God's support throughout the year, we clean and purify all the place and space where we've used in this year to bring a new fresh air for the New Year. 

I place a small "Kagamimochi" on my closet with my Dragon & Phoenix "Origami". And my favorite photos as well. I should place a dog somewhere because the next year's zodiac creature is Dog, but it looks enough for this place. 

Every time I see these photos, it makes me smile. I was definitely once in a million coincidence to get a chance to come across with these amazing nature phenomenon. I really can't forget the moment that I saw this smile in the sky in Hateruma Island two years ago. Since then, I keep looking up to the sky anytime anywhere expecting another once in a million opportunities. 

I have enough time quietly this year to look back the year 2017 as summary which was I feel one of the most dynamic and dramatic years of my life. 

I hope that I can smile more in the new year 2018 than I did in this year as it smiles amazingly in the blue sky. 

3 days to go for the New year 2018...
