It is still very cold and we have more snow this year than usual. However, in the bright spring sunshine, daffodils look full of vigor.

These white azaleas are from my very important friend who could be called my soul mate. She meant them for the memory of my late mother.
I was pleasantly surprised to find out the flower languages of white azaleas suit really well to this scene.
“I am happy to be loved by you.”
“Contentment”

About one week has passed since the start of February. My feeling now is “is it getting a little warmer, I wonder” or “I hope it is”.

Although my memory ability has now declined immensely, I used to have a marvelous faculty of memory when young, which made some people really hate me. Moreover, because of that GOOD memory, I myself had to continue to hate someone for a long spell. However, I have always treasured my memory faculty and memories themselves all my life. Memories do not need spaces and they do not have shapes and weight, either. I believe they are as precious as jewels that keep on shining in my heart.
Although it is a haiku about the New Year, I wrote it because it happened to hold my attention.
