I want to express my deepest gratitude to my life

Right now I rejoice writing this letter on a Mac laptop computer that I put on a table with beautiful mosaic that I was recommended to buy by Mr. Idaki Shin over 15 years ago, but was never used except as a space to put a photo of my lost parents and three remaining photos of mine taken in my childhood. Because of its elegant design, I considered it an ornament until I eventually found that this table wonderfully suited my desk work with a laptop. It was when I returned home late at night and felt rather reluctant to go upstairs to write my daily letter, so I brought down my laptop to my dressing room and opened the mosaic cover of this table and put the laptop on it to find they fit ideally. Next to the table was the Idaki Shin sound system on which I played everyday the beautiful CD from the Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered concert in Armenia. So I am actually writing this letter over the table and listening to the CD that inspires me greatly for what to write next. I thanked Mr. Idaki Shin for always providing wonderful opportunities to enrich my life. I am extremely happy to have realized the meaning of this lovely table in my creative life. Though it was a tiny incident, I rejoiced at a process that seemed to demonstrate that everything could bear fruit in some future. Early this year I could finally visit Russia, Armenia and Paris after three attempted travel arrangements that did not happen in the end. I was impressed by the wonderful cultural atmosphere in Russia and on returning to Japan I changed the installation of my room and newly bought a table and a chair that represented what I called the aroma of Russia. With them, I could feel my room filled with fresh breezes and I could write an essay happily. So together with the new photo panel of mine from the Armenia concert and the table for my laptop, I really enjoy my daily life. I am filled with hope for the future. I recalled that Mr. Idaki Shin once told me that a person who was living a wonderful life in every aspect of his or her daily life would be able to realize global peace.
