Thank you for everything.

My latest 4-koma manga, "Thank you for everything."

The newest English Challenge at Minami JHS.

These days, there is a lot to be thankful for. The Japanese holiday of Labor Thanksgiving and the American holiday of Thanksgiving are both on Thursday, Nov. 23 this year. This time off provides an excellent opportunity to look back and reflect on all of our blessings: the gifts of our precious family and friends, the moments we have to flourish and thrive and the circumstances at work and at home that allow us to nurture our potential and grow. We only have this moment. Isn't it natural to want to live it to its fullest?

I'm looking forward to seeing Lilica in her school performance this coming Saturday. She and her cat chorus classmates will dazzle us on stage with their purrr-fect prowess and cat-chy tunes. We've been hearing her rehearsals at home for the last couple of weeks and are ready to experience the full-on meow-able momentum. And I'm not even a feline fan. But I'm a huge Lily fan.
