Live Right and Love Life


I'm here for the camaraderie. I love my Spark neighborhood. I'm grateful to you all for being a bright spot in my life.

My Goals:
My main goal is to be healthy in body and spirit so that I can live the right kind of life.

My Program:
 Eat properly. Forget about food at the end of every meal. Weigh once a week. Do not obsess. Do not limit life in any way because of body size.


Personal Information:
I'm from a tiny town in Georgia (with no traffic lights), but now I live in Kobe, Japan. I'm married to a Japanese and have three bilingual, bicultural children--a son, 30, a daughter, 28, and a daughter, 23. I teach English to Japanese company workers, 99% of whom are men. I like my job.

Other Information:
 I love reading. One of my favorite books is Fred Chappell's novel "Brighten the Corner Where You Are." And if I could state my philosophy, the title of that book would be IT!

    I hope all your family is well and stays well. I’m rather glad Nicky, Yuka and baby Alan are in Kansai right now, and I hope your two in Tokyo will stay safe.
    It’s a combination of restful and anxiety-inducing to be in this situation. I can do what I want every day but it’s scary watching the news. Shiro has the TV on a lot, but he’s not very worried. I’m worried for him though.

    Isn’t it funny how kind people can be! Moving around in Tokyo and all cities, I guess, people push and whack you with their bags as they go by, but they can be so kind when you have an interaction with them. I’m not super in love with Japan but I’m often glad I’m here.

    Be well, Carolyn.

    I was so just thinking about you today while our world spins around and around. I haven't hear much about Japan so I'm assuming you and your family are safe! Thank you for your nice comment on my blog. Yes, it's been pretty darn wonderful to get TWO new grandsons - one planned for one a total surprise. I'm so anxious to see Samuel but we are sheltering in place. So it will be awhile before I get to meet him but I have been talking with my son and daughter-in-law. And little Roman is growing bigger every day. I'm grateful that I was able to see him before I got sick - and I did visit when he was about 2 weeks old. My middle daughter was staying with Lauriellen to help with everything and I wanted to see her before she went back home. Now we are all listening to our officials and doing everything we can to keep safe!

    Life sure does throw some crazy things our way, doesn't it! So good to hear from you.
