the answer
it is so cold today, 5F(-15C) here now! i was happy when i woke up this morning and looked out the window, so so white and beautiful. and then i noticed that it was lovely to feel beautiful. maybe i would feel it is nothing usually, but i was so impressed by the view because we have not had sun for a while. it is ok too if i feel sad about the view. then, maybe i would tell my boyfriend “i hate this view today, too white, so boring 🙁 ” then we would look for the way to be happy. it’s also ok that i am not happy all the time in my life. because wishing to be happy is a wonderful thing too. and nice that i can make wishes on my own or with someone close. i don’t know what is right and wrong. i am not looking for the “right” answer either. so i look for the answer in my heart then i can always get it. it could change the next day but it is fine, because that is my answer. happy that my life is not easy, because it is much more fun to find my way!
thank you friends, i appreciate all. happy to know again that creation and lives are always connected and nourishing each other. wish Songs For Kids the happiest year ever from tomorrow. i send much love to the U.P. and thank my boyfriend for taking all the wonderful pictures everyday for 31 days, you gave me many beauties, love. i keep going this journey to joy in 2011. will enjoy it! good luck to the next pilot <3 happy dec 31 and happy healthy lovely new year to all. xo aki

I agree with Sheena on all accounts. I’m so happy that we were able to end the year with such a beautiful girl, such a beautiful dress, and such beautiful philosophical words. Good luck Aki! Happy New Year!

I think as a month as a whole, your photos look the best. I really like how your aesthetic is so defined. Your taste is very different from mine but that is what makes the life interesting. Good work. Happy New Year.

I think you made a lot of people’s heart warm and happy-which is quite lovely things to do,especially this time of the year.
Your thoughts are quite simple,but we always forget to think that way.
Keeping yourself busy is good,but we need to sit down,relax and appreciate the nature sometime;0)
Thank you for the lovely month,well done to you , the boyfriend and the LBD team!

Thanks for this inspiring month! I liked your outfits though I couldn’t wear a lot of them. But you have a lot of creativity and I will try to take it in for myself. Happy new year and lots of joy in your future!

Your outfits are beautiful, but not so much as your lovely words. May you continue to live by all the wonderful things you have taught us this month. I really think you should start a blog to share your inspiring words with the world! Love ya.
