How to Stay Positive: Reflect on Mistakes Without Drowning in Regret

You’ve probably heard the saying, “Even a monkey can reflect.” In life and work, we all have those “Ah, I messed up…” moments. As someone who is not exactly best friends with “being cautious,” I’ve had more than my share.

There’s a reason sayings like “Seeing is believing” or “A frog in a well knows nothing of the great ocean” exist. Some lessons, we only understand by actually experiencing them. (Yes, this is me making excuses.)

And when we fail, of course we feel down. Because we’re human… or maybe because we’re human.

Today’s Theme: Reflect and Learn — But Don’t Regret

When something has already happened—whether it was a mistake or an unexpected event—reflection and review are important. But dragging those feelings around forever isn’t necessary.

I once wrote about the “ability to forget.” If something hits you so hard that it affects you negatively, it might actually be healthy to put it aside for a while. Later, when time has passed and you’ve grown (← yes, this part matters), you can revisit it with a calmer mind.

And maybe… just maybe… what happened was actually a chance to discover something positive or a trigger for growth.

Old Sayings Carry Wisdom

People long ago knew what they were talking about:

• “After the rain, the ground hardens.”
• “Learn by watching others’ mistakes.”
• “Practice makes perfect.”
• “Failure is the mother of success.”
• “Water only looks clear when seen from above.”

If regrets start piling up, stop and breathe. If something feels too heavy to digest, try letting it out. Talk to someone you trust. Look away for a moment. Do NOT carry it all alone.

If You Can, Try Smiling Once

Sometimes, simply smiling can make things feel lighter than you expected. It can shift your mood in surprising ways.

And now, about the key phrase: “Don’t regret!” Technically, we all do feel regret—of course we do. But what I truly mean is: don’t stay trapped in it forever.

No one (except maybe time travelers) can rewrite the past. But the future? That is still wide open. And your actions from today forward can change it.

So why not take what happened, accept it, and turn it into fuel for growth?

Summary (Hope I Didn’t Forget Anything!)

1. Don’t lose to the monkeys!
2. Careful reflection matters—focus on the right things.
3. Regret is mostly a waste of energy.
4. Thank your past self for trying.
5. Believe in your future self.

Let’s keep things bright, fun, and positive—one day at a time! 

Don’t Underestimate Your Lunch Break: It Deserves More Love Than You Think

Hello everyone! Today’s lunch for me was a homemade bento from my wife—or rather, “frozen-food-based” but still delicious because it included cream croquettes. Small joys matter!

How about your lunch break? When I’m busy, the timing sometimes shifts or becomes shorter, but I always make sure I never skip my lunch entirely.

Today, I want to talk about something simple but surprisingly important: how to intentionally spend your lunch break.

How Much of Your Life Is Spent on Lunch Breaks?

Let’s say you have a one-hour lunch break every workday. With about 260 working days a year, that’s:

260 hours of lunch breaks per year.

If you work for 40 years (from around age 25 to 65), that becomes:

• 10,400 hours
• = 1,300 workdays
• ≈ about 5 years of your life

Five years! That’s long enough for a newborn baby to grow into a kindergartener.

So yes, you’re probably seeing where this is going:

Your lunch break is actually a big deal. Don’t neglect it.

Top 3 Best Ways to Spend Your Lunch Break

1. Take a Short Nap

A quick nap can reset your mind and body. Simply lying down is sometimes the best productivity booster.

2. Enjoy Something You Love

Spend a few minutes with something that makes you happy—cute animals, a small hobby, a relaxing playlist. A little joy goes a long way. (And no, lunchtime drinking doesn’t count!)

3. Eat Something Delicious

Good food makes everything better. If it’s something you love, even better—your body and mind both get recharged.

These simple habits can drastically improve your mental and physical well-being.

What You Should Avoid Doing During Your Lunch Break

Avoid Working or Studying

You might say, “But I enjoy it!” Even so, a break should be a break. Creating boundaries helps your brain properly reset, which improves productivity afterward.

Avoid Spending Time on Things You Dislike

It’s your personal time. Don’t spend it with people or tasks that drain you. Whether you want solitude or social time, choose what truly refreshes you, not what others expect.

Why a Quality Lunch Break Improves Your Afternoon

It’s easy to overlook your lunch break or let others control it. But taking a meaningful break helps you return to the afternoon energized, focused, and ready.

Let’s make our lunch breaks something to look forward to!

Final Thoughts: Let’s Enjoy Ohiru-yasumi

If this inspires you to rethink your own break time, I’m really glad. Your lunch break is a part of your life—make it a good one.

Let’s enjoy Ohiru-yasumi（Lunch-Time）! 🍱

Boost Your Positive Mindset: Just Enjoy It! ✨

　　by guvo59 via Pixabay

Here’s a simple but powerful motivation hack:
Tell yourself, “If I’m doing it anyway, I’m gonna enjoy it!”
Sounds playful, but trust me — it works. 😊

Most people think:

• Things I like = fun
• Things I dislike = not fun

But real life isn’t that simple! Sometimes:

• The things you love are also hard
• You push through boring stuff so you can enjoy the good stuff later

And hey — when you finish something you dislike…
Doesn’t it actually feel kind of amazing?
(Okay, not always… but you know what I mean!)

🎮 Turn tasks into a fun challenge

You can choose how you face your strengths and weaknesses.

• If you’re good at it → add creativity or efficiency
• If you’re not → add rewards, game rules, or tiny wins

Try these motivation tips:

• Race the timer on boring tasks
• Treat your project like a game quest
• Track progress so every step feels like leveling up

When you change how you see a task, you change how you feel about it.

🆘 If it’s harmful, ask for help

Work stress is normal.
But bullying or harassment is not something you have to tolerate.

Don’t wait in silence — speak up early.
Asking for help is a strength.

📚 Learn before you leap

Trying new things can feel scary.
But fear shrinks when you gain knowledge.

Knowledge = Confidence
Confidence = Motivation

We humans simply love discovering new things.
Even gossip proves that, right? 😆

Preparation prevents regret ✔

🌟 Final message for your motivation

So remember this:

Just Enjoy It!

Turn your everyday tasks into small joys, and let positivity boost your productivity.
You’ve got this ✨

How Many “Business Buzzwords” Do You Actually Use?

— Thoughts on Japanese office lingo and communication

Via pexels by Fauxels

Have you ever wondered how many business buzzwords you actually use — or even understand?

In Japan, as in many countries, we’ve adopted a huge number of “business terms” — words that were born out of efficiency, global communication, and the need to sound a bit more… well, professional.

In theory, these words should make our conversations smoother.
But somehow, they don’t always feel that way.
Sometimes I wonder if they actually get in the way of understanding each other.

🎧 When you’re the listener…

Knowing common buzzwords definitely helps.

People tend to assume everyone around them shares the same vocabulary. If you stop the conversation every time someone says a strange term, the meeting will take forever.

Understanding buzzwords allows you to follow the discussion, confirm details quickly — and, most importantly, notice when someone uses a word differently than you do.

That’s when you can politely clarify:

“Just to confirm — when you say deliverable, you mean the final report due next week, right?”

See? Efficient and diplomatic.

💬 When you’re the speaker…

Honestly, you don’t have to use business buzzwords at all.
Unless it’s a technical term, plain language usually works better.

Still, if everyone around you is saying things like “touch base” or “ASAP,” it’s natural to mirror that a little — it builds a subtle sense of connection. (Yes, a small psychological trick. Don’t tell anyone.)

And sometimes, you can even make buzzwords fun.

“I totally agree — I mean, I’m super-agree, if that’s a thing.”

It was so ridiculous that everyone laughed — and suddenly, the mood in the room lightened.
That’s the power of playing with words.

🗂️ My first “buzzword shock”

Years ago, I heard my boss say:

“Can you prepare the agenda for the next meeting and share it with everyone?”

At the time, I thought: “Agenda? You mean the schedule or meeting outline, right?”

In Japanese companies, “agenda” used to sound almost too fancy — like something from an overseas boardroom.
Now it’s totally normal, along with assign, workflow, and facilitator.

Back then, though, most meetings were just “report and announcement” sessions.
So hearing “agenda” made me think: “We could’ve just emailed this, couldn’t we?”

Of course, times have changed — and so have I.
Now I can laugh about it. (Mostly.)

🧩 The tricky part

Whether it’s Japanese or English, “communicating clearly” and “understanding correctly” are still the hardest parts of work.

Buzzwords can help — but they can also blur meaning.
It all depends on how we use them.

🧠 Mini Quiz: Do you understand these?

Q1. “Can you sum up the sushi meeting and share it with everyone?”
Q2. “Let’s go to that Italian restaurant that just launched last week!”
“Is it really good? Show me the evidence!”

Can you catch the humor?
If not — that’s okay. These are based on real Japanese office slang where we mix casual words (“sushi” becomes shiisuu) and English buzzwords.
It’s our own weird hybrid language, and honestly, it’s part of the fun.

🪞Final thought

In the end, whether you use “synergy,” “touch base,” or just “talk,” what really matters is that your message gets across.

Buzzwords can sound smart — but clarity always wins.

5 Days of Work, 2 Days Off – Make Your Weekends Awesome!

Hey everyone! Let’s talk about work-life balance – basically, finding the sweet spot between your job and your personal life. It’s all about working hard and enjoying your personal time, taking care of your mind and body, and living happily. When you get this balance right, stress goes down and life feels… way more awesome.

These days, full two-day weekends are pretty standard, and there’s even a push to use your paid leave. Sounds great, right? But then there’s also pressure to get stuff done fast, be super efficient, and always deliver results. Not just time management – we’re talking brainpower management here! Yep… it can be a bit of a headache.

My Weekly Routine (Just to Give You an Idea)

• Monday: Check my schedule
• Tuesday: Get stuff done
• Wednesday: Meetings
• Thursday: More work
• Friday: Prep for next week
• Saturday: Do what I love (lately, reading or blogging… sometimes work sneaks in!)
• Sunday: Family time = happiness overload

Even with a full two-day weekend, work sometimes spills into Saturdays, and weekday overtime or taking work home is still a thing.

Work-Life Balance in Today’s World

The term “work-life balance” has been around for over 20 years, but if your boss still has a “Showa-era high-growth mindset” (push employees to grind endlessly for results), balance feels like a joke, right? Haha.

Times are changing, though. Younger generations, conscious individuals, and people who are financially comfortable are actually embracing work-life balance and putting it into practice.

I wouldn’t say I’m super conscious about it myself, but I do believe that how we work is key to living happily. The years we work are also the years we’re most energetic and productive, so balance matters.

Research on Work-Life Balance

Work-life balance isn’t just a buzzword. Lots of studies have been done across sociology, psychology, economics, labor science, and organizational studies.

• Universities & Research Institutes: Analyze surveys and statistics to understand how work-life balance affects people.
• Government Agencies: Research policies, work hours, and vacation usage to support better balance.
• International Organizations: ILO and OECD share global trends and best practices.
• Companies: Some companies survey employees to improve working environments.

These studies show how important balance is and how it can be achieved in real life.

How to Actually Achieve Work-Life Balance (Friendly Tips)

1. Plan Your Schedule: Know what your week looks like—work, school, personal plans, everything.
2. Set Priorities: Focus on what’s most important. Work/study matters, but so does personal and family time.
3. Take Breaks & Relax: Even on busy days, make time to recharge. Your mind and body will thank you.
4. Communicate: Keep in touch with family and friends. Understanding and helping each other keeps your heart balanced.
5. Manage Screen & Leisure Time: Smartphones, games, and hobbies are fun, but don’t let them take over. Balance is key. (And watch that alcohol intake! Haha, just saying.)
6. Go at Your Own Pace: Progress comfortably. Don’t overdo it, but when it’s crunch time—give your best!

Closing Thoughts

Work-life balance might not be perfect at first, but small, consistent efforts can make life happier and more fulfilling.

Think of it as Happy Balance Life. Let’s enjoy life, little by little, and keep those smiles coming! Seeing everyone happy makes all the effort worthwhile. 😄

Work Feels Different When You Think Positive | Part 2: Imagine a Cat Boss: Transform Your Team & Leadership 

Sometimes I Like to Imagine…

Sometimes I like to imagine… what if my boss were a cat? 🐱

I’m currently a middle manager, so I have both a boss above me and team members below me. Occasionally, I think: “What if my boss was actually a cat?”

If that were the case, imagine the kind of boss a cat would be. Cats bring comfort, make our hearts lighter, and brighten our days. So how would we, as team members, respond to a cat boss? Most likely by giving our very best!

What Makes a Cat Boss…🐾

Independent and Free

A cat boss would do things at their own pace and let us work freely. Under such leadership, we’d likely perform at our best naturally.

Playfully Unpredictable

Some days, the cat boss might be fully engaged, other days… not so much. But this unpredictability isn’t bad—it can stimulate creativity and even boost motivation.

Benefits of a Cat Boss 😺

Working under a cat boss could be surprisingly fun. Even during busy workdays, the cat boss’s presence would bring small moments of joy and relaxation.

Little Perks That Matter

• Freedom to work at our own pace, even if occasionally interrupted.
• Mood boosts from watching the cat boss’s whims—suddenly you feel lighter and more motivated.
• Psychological benefits—studies show that interacting with cats can increase self-esteem and happiness.
• Praise feels extra delightful, and even “scolding” is charming rather than stressful.

How to Work with a Cat Boss 🐾

Tips for Thriving

• Understand their communication style: Cats don’t give verbal instructions, so you need to read their moods and intentions.
• Expect unpredictability: Their behavior may be inconsistent, so adapt to changing “directions.”
• Respect their independence: Cats value autonomy, so support team members’ individual strengths and approaches.
• Adjust motivation methods: Cat bosses are driven by their own interests; sometimes creative ways are needed to inspire the team.
• Don’t stress over mistakes: Even if the cat boss misjudges something, it’s best to let it slide.
• Observe their preferences: Understanding what the cat boss likes helps maintain harmony.

In Short: Why a Cat Boss Rocks

A cat boss would bring joy, inspiration, and gentle challenges. To work well with them, you need to understand their habits and pace, and match your work style accordingly.

So next time you feel stuck at work… try imagining a cat boss watching over you. You might just find yourself a little lighter, a little happier, and maybe even a bit more motivated!

A funny webcomic turned book about what happens if your CEO were a cat.
Even across countries, cats are still… well, cats.
A hilarious and heartwarming read for anyone curious about creative leadership—and of course, cat lovers!

How My Favorite Pen Boosts Work, Focus & Creativity — A Gentle Dive into the Fountain Pen World

🖋️ My Current Obsession: The Pilot Kakuno

So yeah, I figured it’s about time I finally got myself a fountain pen. I mean, I’m not getting any younger, right? 😅
After some Googling and a bit of digging, I stumbled upon the Pilot Kakuno — a simple, inexpensive fountain pen that somehow stole my heart.

It’s nothing fancy — around $12 or so — but once I started using it, I just couldn’t stop. I even picked up two more with different nib sizes.

Now, I’ve swapped my usual ballpoint pens for these little wonders. I use them so much that some nib sizes need a new cartridge in less than a month! 😳

💡 Small Tools, Big Impact

Here’s the thing: little everyday tools can quietly make a big difference in your work.
Using a pen you love can turn writing into something enjoyable, and it actually helps boost creativity and focus.

The smooth glide of the Kakuno feels amazing in your hand and even helps ease stress a bit.

🧠 Handwriting Boosts Memory

Writing by hand is more than just putting words on paper.
When I jot things down with my Kakuno, ideas and important info stick in my mind longer.
Moving your hand while processing thoughts is a surprisingly effective way to remember things.

🌈 Motivation, Confidence, and Colors

Just picking up your favorite pen can lift your spirits, spark motivation, and even make you feel a little more confident.
And the best part? That energy tends to rub off on people around you.

Ink color matters too — switching it up can help organize notes, match your mood, or simply make writing more fun.

🖋️ Standing Out in a Digital World

Let’s be real: offices are mostly paperless these days. But pulling out a fountain pen can make you stand out.

Imagine this:

I’m in a meeting with a big client. Between serious talks, my Kakuno comes up. They’re curious, I get to brag a bit about the nib and colors… and suddenly, they ask, “Mind if I try it?”

And before I know it… contracts get signed. 😉

🔧 The Magic Between Work and Tools

Even a single pen can impact how you work and feel. Tools — pens, notebooks, planners — are more than objects; they’re allies in productivity and creativity.

Efficiency

The right tools make everyday work smoother. A notebook or planner that suits you can streamline tasks and ideas.

Creativity

Writing by hand sparks new ideas and helps organize thoughts. A pen you love makes the process enjoyable.

Professional impression

Quality tools leave a tidy, polished impression and subtly showcase your style.

Communication

Handwritten notes or cards build warmth in relationships — something digital can’t always capture.

Stress relief

Writing by hand is surprisingly relaxing. The flow of pen on paper calms the mind.

🌿 Final Thoughts

Stationery is more than just tools. It reflects how we work, think, and express ourselves.
Finding a pen that feels right for you can make work more enjoyable and meaningful.

Just like my encounter with the Pilot Kakuno, your perfect pen might be waiting to brighten your day. 🐾

Work Feels Different When You Think Positive | Part 1: How It Transformed My Workday

Introduction: Positive Thinking at Work

Good morning! I’m MMPP.key-_-bou — a middle manager, a dad, and someone working in product development here in Japan.

When it comes to work, positive thinking is often said to bring a lot of good things — higher motivation, reduced stress, greater creativity, and even a positive influence on the workplace itself.

Of course, not everything in life is that simple, but generally speaking, I think it’s pretty true.

Facing a Challenging Task

For example — Imagine being assigned to a new task that feels way over your head.

I’ve actually had that kind of experience before. Out of nowhere, my company said, “America is the center of the world!” and sent me to the U.S. to help launch a new branch as part of the product development team. (And yes, that U.S. branch is still alive and well in 2025!)

If your first thoughts are “Ugh, I really don’t want to do this…” or “What if I fail?”, the task will probably start to feel painful. Even if you technically have the skills to pull it off, both you and the person who assigned it might not end up fully satisfied with the result — not to mention the stress that hits you along the way.

The Power of a Positive Mindset

On the other hand, if you approach it with a positive mindset — “Alright, this is a great chance! I’m going to do my best and see it through!” — your motivation lasts longer, the stress feels lighter, and your brain starts spinning with new ideas and possibilities.

Under Pressure: Your Boss’s Perspective

Your boss will likely feel more confident in you, root for you, and expect better results, too.

That’s exactly how positive thinking leads to higher motivation, less stress, and greater creativity.

Enjoying What You Love

What Feels Good vs. What Feels Bad

If that feels too abstract, let’s think of something else. Picture yourself doing something you love — say, watching cats or enjoying a good drink. Now, imagine doing something you hate instead (though honestly, it’s hard to imagine hating cats). Or being forced into something unpleasant — like attending a drinking party filled with awkward pressure or harassment. Sure, that 100,000-yen(about US$7,000) bottle might taste great, and I do believe alcohol itself isn’t the villain here… but still — not fun, right?

So, which situation makes you feel more alive and motivated?

And when you’re doing something you genuinely enjoy, don’t you sometimes lose track of time — even forget to eat or sleep?

In Short / Key Takeaways

Positive thinking clearly affects how we work.

Since work takes up so much of our lives, learning to enjoy it can truly make life richer and more fulfilling.

If there’s ever a “Part 2,” I’d like to write about how positive thinking influences teamwork and leadership.
Or maybe something like “If My Boss Were a Cat…” 🐱

How to Use the Power of Forgetting

Forgetful? Perfect. 
Let your thoughts bloom with Google Keep and Calendar — stay chill, productive, and kind to yourself.
Because sometimes, forgetting isn’t a flaw — it’s space for something new to grow.

The ability to forget is often seen as a flaw — a weakness of memory or attention.
 But in reality, “forgetting” is an incredible adaptive strength that allows us to move forward, let go of negative experiences, and embrace new challenges with a lighter heart.

In today’s fast-paced and stressful world, being able to forget — to mentally “reset” — can be a true blessing. Imagine being able to drop your worries, take a deep breath, and start fresh.
 That’s the real power of forgetting.

Of course, forgetting can also cause trouble.
 We lose track of deadlines, misplace important details, or repeat the same mistakes.
 In the past, this might have been an unfixable weakness — but not anymore.

---

When “Forgetting” Meets Technology

Thanks to digital innovation, we can now keep the benefits of forgetting while eliminating its downsides.
 How? By letting digital tools remember for us.

---

📝 Use Note Apps and Task Managers

Record important ideas, notes, and tasks digitally.
 Even if you forget, your app won’t.
 Set reminders and priorities so that your tools notify you when something matters.
 It’s like having a quiet but reliable assistant who never forgets.

---

📅 Use Calendar Apps

Schedule events and appointments in a digital calendar.
 With notifications and reminders, you’ll never miss a meeting again.
 When combined with notes or task apps, you create an ecosystem that manages your mental load effortlessly.

---

🔐 Other Useful Tools

Password managers, cloud storage, and backup tools help protect your data and memory.
 These digital systems reduce your mental burden and prevent loss from accidents or forgetfulness.

---

The Perfect Balance: Human Forgetfulness × Digital Memory

By combining your natural ability to forget with digital tools, you can:

• Free yourself from past negativity
• Keep track of essential information
• Stay positive and forward-focused
• Improve productivity without stress

In short, use your brain for creativity and emotion — not for remembering every detail.

---

My Personal Recommendation

I personally use Google Keep and Google Calendar, synced across my PC and Android phone.
 They’re simple, intuitive, and integrate beautifully with other apps.

If you’ve never read a book explaining Google’s services, I highly recommend it.
 You’ll be amazed at how much potential you’ve been missing — a true “lightbulb moment.”

📘 Example: “The Complete Guide to Google Services” (Mediax MOOK)
 Available on Amazon, Rakuten, and Yahoo Shopping.

So, How Do You Develop the Ability to Forget?

I Wish I Were a Cat: The Gentle Art of Living Light

 I Wish I Were a Cat: The Gentle Art of Living Light

Ever wished life could feel more like a cat’s day? Bright, curious, calm, and just the right amount of lazy — here’s how to bring a little “cat energy” into your everyday life.

---

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening!
 I’m starting to believe that living brightly, happily, energetically — and just the right amount of lazily — might actually be the best way to live.
 In other words… maybe I just want to live like a cat.

🐱 Do You Like Cats?

I do.
 Not only because they’re cute, but because their way of life has something deeply wise about it.
 If we humans could live more like cats, don’t you think life might be a little more peaceful — and a lot more fun?

☀️ 1. Brightness — Always Look Cheerful

Cats always seem to have that easygoing, content expression (even when they look sleepy).
 If we could smile our way through the day like that — 
 even when things get rough — 
 we might find that life starts feeling a little lighter and a lot more enjoyable.

🎮 2. Playfulness — Stay Curious

Cats are endlessly curious. They find joy in the smallest things — a new box, a piece of string, or just a shadow on the wall.
 We can learn from that.

Try new things, dive into your hobbies, or explore something that sparks your curiosity.
 Yes, it’s scary at times — but that mix of excitement and uncertainty? That’s where life happens.

⚡ 3. Energy — Keep Moving

Cats move with intention. They stretch, jump, run, nap, and repeat.
 Staying active — both physically and mentally — helps us stay balanced and positive.
 Even a short walk or a few deep breaths can shift your mood.
 A healthy rhythm keeps the heart light and the mind clear.

💤 4. Relaxation — Master the Art of Doing Nothing

If cats had a motto, it would be: “Rest is also progress.”
 They nap like it’s their full-time job — and maybe they’re onto something.

We all need to slow down sometimes.
 Taking time to rest isn’t being lazy — it’s how we recharge the energy to keep shining.

🧘‍♂️ So, What Can We Learn from Cats?

To live brightly, joyfully, energetically — and yes, a little lazily.
 I don’t even own a cat, and I’m not exactly obsessed with them…
 but if I could live a bit more like one,
 I think life would be a lot more fun.

Stay Chill, Stay Positive!

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, hello everyone!
Nice to meet you — I’m MMPP.key-_-bou, and I’ve just started this blog!

The official title is “Stay Positive, Just Way More Chill: My Guide to Easy Living” — but honestly… it’s really a blog about “I Wish I Were a Cat!” 🐾

My tired brain thinks the official title is way too long, so from now on, let’s just call it “Stay Chill, Stay Positive!”

I genuinely believe that if we live like cats — by staying positive, thinking things through, and then taking action — our days can be just as happy as a cat’s life.

This blog isn’t exactly about “life hacks,”
but more about sharing small things that help us live brightly, cheerfully, and with good vibes every day.

As for me — I’m a corporate warrior,
a middle manager armed only with a Cypress Stick and Cloth Armor,
constantly caught between the pressure from above and the push from below.

I also share some “work hacks” that might — maybe, possibly —
actually be useful in your job. (Let’s stay optimistic, right?)

If you can have even a little fun joining me on this journey,
I’ll be more than happy!
