Reflecting on the 'Trajectory of My Life' and the Thoughts I Feel Now 💛

When I retired from the childcare industry, having experienced the deaths of my biological father and my parents, as well as supporting my aunt who lived alone, I felt strongly that
I wanted to spread the word about 'end-of-life planning' and share what I had experienced.
That was my strong desire.

I dreamed of creating a community with a friend through a general incorporated association, providing a 'space' within the local area where I could receive various consultations, study together, and become a connector who links people to people, or people to organizations.

Just as the two of us were looking for an office and getting ready to start, the COVID-19 pandemic spread. Furthermore, I discovered that if I wanted to obtain a certified social worker qualification, I would have to go back to school at my age. In addition, as we talked things over, we began to feel slight differences in our visions, so we decided to stop our momentum, feeling that now was not the right time.

Suddenly, I realized that now was not the time to run, but to recharge and try to live in the present moment. While continuing activities rooted in the community, I spent my time growing flowers and vegetables in the fields and garden my father left behind, and weeding.

Even so, at that time, I was thinking about the future and wanted an income.
When I thought that, I encountered the job of a web writer.
I thought I could do this from home while providing various support and doing garden work, so I took on the challenge.

'End-of-life planning,' 'inheritance,' 'real estate,' and 'child-rearing support' and 'childcare'I looked for work on themes like these and gradually became able to earn a decent living.

However, as I wrote the articles requested one after another, I spent my days chased by time and deadlines, and I also experienced many times that I had to write things that were different from my own thoughts.

Especially regarding 'child-rearing' and 'childcare,' I was asked to write articles that conveyed technical or procedural matters (for example, for an article for childcare workers, what events are in April, what those events will be like, how to do the monthly wall decorations, etc.) rather than conveying the importance of childcare and child-rearing that I wanted to cherish.
Of course, since I had the experience, I could write them if requested, but having been in the childcare industry for a long time, I had many things I wanted to convey to childcare workers and parents raising children—not about such superficial things, but about the themes of 'what is childcare' and 'what is child-rearing,' and words of encouragement.

I want to convey what I have learned and what I want to share throughout my life, while cherishing the present, which is what I most wanted to do.
I realized that I want to live a life where something I do can be useful to someone, even if it doesn't lead to my own income.
'Money is something that circulates in the world.'
I also started to think that since I have worked hard until now, I don't need to feel anxious. (Although I am still being taken care of by my husband, who is the same age...)

Therefore, I quit my job as a web writer, where I wrote what was requested rather than what I wanted to write.

And here, in this space called note,
'From babies to end-of-life planning'
'A wonderful life of living richly with joy (gratitude)'
I want to spread these ideas.

What I have written down about my thoughts is 'The Trajectory of My Life'.

If you haven't read it yet, I think you will understand what kind of person I am, so I would be happy if you could read it.

And now, I have started walking toward the next step.

I have changed my creator name 🎵

The reason I am who I am today is
because of the trajectory of the life I have lived from birth until now.

And for my life from here on, I want to cherish the present even more, and I want to live out my own major axis, 'a wonderful life of living richly with joy (gratitude).'

The thought I have arrived at now is,
instead of imagining my future self and working hard toward that image,
I want to have a 'mindfulness' awareness of savoring the here and now where I am alive, day by day, and accumulating what I can do.

That is not a way of living without goals, but because I believe that
the accumulation of 'living in the present' becomes the future.

Right now, I am taking on various challenges in my real-life community.
My husband also supports the way I am living my life now.

I would like to discuss topics such as living in the 'here and now,' childcare, parenting, and end-of-life planning with many people here in this note town as well. ☆彡

I hope to continue creating and maintaining such a 'space for connection' in a relaxed and gentle way.

Thank you for joining me

mumbling-like post.
