#MyHappinessNote (2022 Edition)

The other day, I participated in Motsu Nikomi-san's project below. I was drawn to the project title '#MyHappinessNote' (*´艸`*)♡

Looking back, every post has its own memories, and since it seemed like it would get too long if I couldn't choose, I decided to introduce 12 articles as the 2021 edition. What I realized after writing it ✨ was my gratitude 😭 for the
warm connections I was able to make with so many people I met on note. It means I am supported by everyone. I am so grateful 😭

Today, I'm going to write the 2022 edition as a continuation of the article above. Oh, and you can submit up to two articles for this project 🎵

I chose notes where I felt happiness for each month. I wanted to narrow it down to one article per month as much as possible, but there were some months I couldn't 😭 Sorry for the length 😱

January

January 18, 2022 [The happiness of challenging myself to write poetry]

RiNNe Project I applied for the poetry project. And to my surprise! I was actually selected ＼(^o^)／

March 23, 2022, March 24, 2022 [The happiness of receiving congratulatory messages from everyone]

On March 11, 2022, I published my first essay book.

April

April 2, 2022 [The happiness of my eldest daughter's dream coming true]

Last year, my eldest daughter achieved her dream and became a teacher at a special needs school. An article detailing a parent's feelings at that time. Back then and even now, there is nothing I can do for her. The song they sing every morning in my daughter's class, The World is Rock-Paper-Scissors🎵 I'm the one who gets energy from it.

大人は時々 ムリ言うぞ
子供にまじめに ムリ言うぞ
世界の人とは 仲良しに
国際的な 人となれ
一緒に遊びたい けど
アメリカ10時で もう夜
ペキンは８時で まだ朝
遊べない
世界は ひとつじゃ ないんじゃないか ねえ
時計は バラバラ 昼夜 さかさまだよ
世界は グー チョキ パーで だから楽しくなる
みんなちがうから あいこでしょ

大人は時々 ムリ言うぞ
子供にまじめに ムリ言うぞ
勉強 がんばれ やりぬけば
天才的な 人となる
ところがあるんだ ムキ フムキ
エジソン 国語はレイテン
アインシュタインは 鉄棒 超 ヘタ
ラクダイ生
一番が ひとつ あれば いいんだねえ
放課後 元気は クラスで一番だよ
子供は グー チョキ パーで 学校楽しくなる
みんなちがうから あいこでしょ

パンや 魚や 本や となりの花や
いろいろ あるから 商売ハンジョの顔
町は グー チョキ パーで 通りはにぎやかに
みんな ちがうから あいこでしょ
金魚は ひらひら 池の中
どじょうは 上 下 池の中
まねして およぐ 奴いない
だから ぼくだけ ぼくのまね

May 19, 2022 [The happiness of having continued every day for a year]

July 18, 2022 [The happiness of enjoying haiku]

My encounter with haiku also started on note. I learned at Haiku Kindergarten, and from the summer of this year, I also started submitting to Haiku Post.

Shirokumakirin-san, who played a major role in running the Tsurukame Cup😊 The energetic crane and turtle illustrations and videos made this summer full of smiles＼(^o^)／

Since then, I have continued writing haiku and have posted articles like this one😊😊

The Seasonal Cup is currently being held!＼(^o^)／

The host & illustrator is Shun-kun😊😊 He is the one who gave me my haiku pen name (Yume Raku)✨

August 21, 2022, August 27, 2022 [The happiness of being able to write about things I wanted to write but didn't have the courage to]

By being able to post the following article, my heart felt lighter. In particular, “Thoughts on my parents” is an article I cherish as one where I was able to write my feelings honestly, to the point that I quoted it many times on Rainbow Street🌈 afterwards.

Akira-san, thank you for the wonderful project🙌
Many of Akira-san's personal projects are very appealing, and I have participated in them even after this one. This year's love letter project (Valentine's Day💖) is also a fond memory✨

September 5, 2022, September 21, 2022, September 29, 2022, September 30 [The happiness of passing the baton]

I was able to pass the baton four times in Chainner-san's project “#AnEpisodeThatRemainsInYourHeartForYou”. This is my happiness note, where I was given the opportunity to write about my three children and the Dream Consultation Room.🥰

Chainner-san, who connects me with so many people😊 There is another new baton project!✨ It seems to start on July 10th(*´艸`*)♡

October

October 12, 2022 [The happiness of realizing the charm of tanka]

I realized the charm of tanka a little before this article. Even though I had a bit of a苦手 (weakness) for tanka, I was drawn more and more to the tanka written by Tsuru-sensei of Utada-so and Haru-san.

Holding a “Tanka Party” at the Dream Consultation Room was also in 2022!😊😊 It was so much fun～(*´艸`*)♡

Tsuru-sensei, thank you for creating Utada-so♡

Haru-san, thank you always for your wonderful tanka poems♡

Together with my friends, we launched Rainbow Street🌈🙌. It is a paid magazine updated every Friday. All of us members deliver earnest essays to everyone who reads it.

I have nothing but gratitude for my precious friends, the members of Rainbow Street😭

December 4, 2022 [The happiness of receiving a paperback]

My favorite Keika-san's fairy tale book📚. I had bought the Kindle version, but I really love the warmth of a paper book after all(*´艸`*)♡

The author, Keika-san💖. A book where Keika-san's dream came true✨. Congratulations🥰

December 19, 2022 [The happiness of being able to express gratitude]

I participated in a project by Mado-natsu-san called “Secret Reply Poem”, and afterwards, Chiyo-san and I created a letter of appreciation(*´艸`*)♡The exchanges with Chiyo-san while we were planning it were so much fun～🙌

Thank you, Mado-natsu-san, for hosting it♡

Thank you, Chiyo-san, for playing along with me♡

Chiyo-san is also a master of writing birthday articles (*´艸`*)♡ Recently, she wrote a birthday celebration article for Keiko-san😊😊

Keiko-san, happy birthday＼(^o^)／

Note has brought me so many encounters.Both 2021 and 2022 are overflowing with #MyHappinessNote. I think that in 2023, there will be even more and more #MyHappinessNote. My number of posts has decreased drastically. But thanks to everyone who continues to support me, I am still here in the town of Note today.It is also a fact that there are many Noters and people with memories I cannot fully introduce.If there is another opportunity, I would like to write a 2023 #MyHappinessNote as well😊 (Motsunikomi-san's project is limited to two articles✨)

Thank you for reading until the end.
If you feel a connection, please check out my essay book.
