Great article. I did not know the history of the cherry blossoms in DC. Thanks for the post.

Oh, thank you so much! It has been hard, so hearing this makes me happy!

What an absolutely wonderful mailbox! I love the flowers around it too! The ones we have here are giant blue bins!

Beautiful lamp! It must look especially wonderful at night! I am so excited to see the finished product of the piece you are working on! This is a very interesting process that you have to go through.

That looks absolutely delicious! Thanks for sharing your yummy meal!

I love her and that song! Such an iconic song! I didn't know that she was performing this year! That's so exciting! Thanks for the information!

I had goya chanpuru at an Okinawan Festival. The goya was a lot chunkier than it was in your pictures. It was stir fried and I believe it came with a little bit of rafute. Definitely bitter though. >_<

Thank you so much for your wonderful comments! I'm very happy you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much for your comments! I'm glad you liked it!

Great post! There is so much truth in your post. Negative thoughts are so pervasive - you hear them everywhere. I think the hardest part of it all is subconscious thought that you may not even be aware

Thank you so much! I love aquariums as well! Yeah, I had to go through a ton of photos...most of them were extremely blurry!

I will admit that I have had this here in Hawaii, but it did not look as good as your's did. It was also very very bitter...I think whoever prepared it should take a lesson from you! _

What a nice aquarium! I really love jellyfish, as I find them so graceful and elegant while they swim! I love how they change the color of the exhibit. Nice job!

Thank you for your wonderful comments! I loved the tunnel, it was really fun! _

What a poignant and excellently written story! It is like karma. You do good to others, and somehow, someway, it will return to you many fold.

Great article. It is something that everyone should read! The first step is always the hardest. Congratulations for taking it! I wish you all the luck in the world!

Thank you so much for your comments! I really appreciate it! Lol. I see what you mean about the frogfish _

What an amazing post! Your photos and narrative a superb! Thank you for teaching us about Coorg culture. Being female, I am finding it to be very refreshing! I love it when there is appreciation for women!

You were so busy! Great job to you for being able to do all of that! _ Looks like you had a very enjoyable breakfast...once you were able to eat it!

I know, right? She is so encouraging!
