Self-Introduction | My First Note

I spend my days in a flurry while raising my children.
I am far from being the ideal spouse or the perfect parent,
but even so, despite the arguments and the misunderstandings,
I am grateful every day for the fact that we are 'living life together.'

One day, it suddenly hit me.
Housework and childcare aren't sustained by the efforts of just one person.
Yet, I realized I hadn't been properly saying 'thank you.'

I had assumed that 'it would be understood without saying it.'
But in reality, it wasn't being conveyed at all.

So, I decided to put my words into writing.
The 'gratitude poems' I started because I wanted to express my feelings
have grown into something I hope will reach the hearts of other couples working just as hard.

Here, I will write about our real daily life, not just the pretty parts, and the things that happen.

If you read this and think, 'I get that' or 'It's the same in my house,'
then that is my 'thank you' to you.

Please, I would love to hear your own 'thank you' episodes from your home as well.
Please do share them with me.

Child-rearing should never be a lonely experience.
That is exactly why I would be so happy if this could help
spread a 'circle of gratitude' even just a little bit.
If you'd like, please feel free to follow me.

★Through a twist of fate, six years ago I met my partner who was raising two children, and we became a family. Now, we laugh every day with our three children, and while we sometimes have to overcome various challenges, we are spending irreplaceable days together.
