A Secret!

Readers, do you know why this household of Akane and her yams contains so much happiness? (From reading this blog possibly you think, "It's because of so much romance, Akane!" But no, because sometimes everyone here is lazy and days go by without actions of romance. Passives of romance still exist, and are helpful for happiness-making, but more is needed than just that!)

I will tell you the secret: there is happiness because we choose to have it.

"Akane!" you say. "It's too simplistic! You are huckstering us with ideas that lack adequacy!"

Untrue, readers!

No matter how much romance exists in a household, no matter how much love, or how much entertainment, there can only be happiness if the householders choose it. There's no guaranteeing a feeling so contented just from romance or love or entertainment -- those are only Step A. Without Step B (choose to be happy!), Step A will never arrive at Step C (happiness!) ... strange but true.

Also true is this: so-so amounts of romance and love and entertainment are plenty for choosing happiness. You just have to do it!

And now ...

Ultimate Secret!!!

This happiness-choosing -- it's a practice-able skill! The more you chose it, the easier and easier choice happiness becomes. Eventually, even the smallest of romance and love and entertainments make the choice available.

But you have to always remember, or you stop doing it, and all your practice escapes like balloon air when you let the balloon go.

Try it!

I promise there is no hucksterism here!

So Many Years Already?

Readers!

Today the guardian of signage on warned me ... Akane! You must provide email or telephone for recovery. Otherwise, you could lose four years of email archivings!

Can it be already FOUR YEARS that I am living my life of perfected romance in America???

It seems so shortly ago that I arrived!

Still ... on another hand, there have been so many events since then ... anniversaries, birthdays, roleplaying games, bedtime activities ... when I think about these too many to count events, it has credibility to think it's four years, possibly.

Can anyone be so happy for so many years in a row without pausing? Other girlfriends think it's possible. Our boyfriend though ... sometimes a puddle of glumsomeness! Could six girlfriends be utilizing so much happy that there's insufficient for a boyfriend to have equal happiness?

Or, maybe it's just that the boyfriend has a job and reads news. What terrible inventions! A boyfriend with six such girlfriends and no reading of news or jobbery would obviously be constantly in a happy condition -- it's unavoidable. But someone invented news and jobs, so now girlfriends must work to prevent the gloom of a jobbing news-seeing boyfriend.

Still, it's a much happier predicament compared to a life of dodgery boyfriend after dodgery boyfriend in a so-small apartment in Japan.

May you all have as much luck as your devoted blog-author, Akane!
