 Happy Birthday to Mayumi san in Fukushima. 

This is her first birthday event after the passing of her husband. 

I wish her a calm day.

Memorial Day for the late Mark Rothko

a very famous painter

who died on this day in 1970. 

I can understand these words. 

His work is amazingly poignant, methinks.

And Fukushima also had an earthquake, yet again. 
My poor Michinoku ! 

Japan was rattled by a 5.2 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Fukushima province today. 

The quake struck just over 50 miles from the city of Fukushima where the nuclear disaster occurred in 2011. 

Witnesses said they had felt a 10-second long shake during the tremor at around 7.30 pm local time. 

No tsunami warning has been put in place by Japan's meteorological agency.

My Cancerian Horoscope
courtesy of 
Oscar Cainer: 

Even if you can't exactly put your finger on when the feelings started, recent weeks have brought a sensation to your emotional life that is not straightforward. And, if you're hoping for a bit more 'normality', that's not on the cosmos's itinerary this week. Something much better is coming your way. As long as you can be genuinely open-minded; and stay relaxed and open to new developments, your new version of 'normal' will leave you happier than you've been in quite some time. 

I totally concur with Oscar's first two sentences and wish that the final sentence, i.e., his prediction for the coming week, becomes my reality.  Fingers crossed, indeed.
