And, as it turns out, we've got something going on next Saturday now so that was good timing.<br /><br />I was thinking more along the lines of what the 7 lucky gods represent and some way to acknowledge similar aspects in my life each year. Back when I was still setting goals each year (which also lined up with when I was actually sleeping), I'd set 5 goals in 5 different areas to ensure I was maintaining balance in my life. A year-long goal right now seems a bit much, but I think I still want to try to represent the different areas in some way so that I am still striving for balance. Kind of like, what would I put on my New Year's rake to represent my balanced desires for the new year.Giggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00650933140736435170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591028344666367215.post-67184230422061626772018-01-19T16:05:30.195+09:002018-01-19T16:05:30.195+09:00I think you could observe hatsumode - the first vi...I think you could observe hatsumode - the first visit to a Shinto shrine in the new year - in your way. By visiting one of our temples, as early in the new year as possible.AmandaStretchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09649673692690240933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591028344666367215.post-34157142352961341452018-01-18T15:27:33.304+09:002018-01-18T15:27:33.304+09:00I kind of like this tradition.

I'll have to ponder that this year.Giggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00650933140736435170noreply@blogger.com
