Thank you for the birthday wishes🌸

Actually, today is my birthday.
I praised myself, saying, 'Congratulations! You've done a great job surviving up to this point!'
I am fifty-something years old! ← Approaching sixty🤭
Last year, I was so shocked by my age that I felt down, and I didn't have the energy to announce my birthday. Actually, I didn't write about it the year before last either.🍀
But I realized that it is truly a blessing that my birthday comes around every year...
It is thanks to all of you that I was able to write this post.🙇
I am often moved by reading your sincere posts, and that is why I decided to write about today.

Truly, I have felt my physical strength decline more than before recently, and I find myself feeling grateful just for being able to move my body.
My favorite exercises right now are 5 minutes of slow jogging and dancing to children's dance music.
I like Foorin's 'Paprika,' 'Ebikanics,' and 'Banana-kun Taiso.'✨ They are so cute😚
These are all songs I often dance to happily with the people I support at work.

Also, this year, I would like to try climbing a little, even if it's just a low mountain.
I want to maintain my physical health.

Regarding my family, my son's issues haven't shown visible improvement, and now, with the discovery of my husband's chronic illness, more worries have emerged.

But even in this situation, I think I am happy because I can breathe, draw pictures, and enjoy interacting with the creators here on note.✨
I feel like I've been tripping a bit more often, though😅
Since I had taken the day off in advance, I had a girls' get-together with three friends from the neighborhood today.🤗
We enjoyed eating food we all brought while viewing cherry blossoms in front of my friend's house.
The weather was nice, and it was a fun day.😋🌸

To all the creators, thank you always for the many 'likes' on my articles and illustrations❣️🙇
In this coming year, I want to continue watching over my family, supporting the people at my work, and drawing pictures slowly without rushing.
I am a laid-back person, but I look forward to your continued support☺️🌷

I drew today's illustration while remembering my children when they were small.
Thank you for looking.🙏😊🌸
