In mid August I arrived back from Canada after twelve wonderful days with my children into the stifling summer heat of Tokyo. I was staying with a friend who was hosting a `Hanabi` barbeque on her roof top deck along the river. Hanabi is the word for Japanese fireworks, and what a display they were! It was longer than any Canadian fireworks display I have witnessed and they even had character fireworks, I have no idea how they technically managed that one?! It was a wonderful time of celebration with great people and a reminder of how brief each season is, including the seasons of our lives. Two months have sped by since that enchanted evening and already so much has changed for both my friend who hosted us and for myself. I am reminded to get the important things done while I have the chance. The busyness of life often crowds out the things that are actually the most important to us. It is time for me to write.
