Weekly Photo Challenge: Relax
Who made the word ‘work-life balance’ and why? It must be easy to answer the question when you don’t stick to its definition. Pablo Picasso said
When I work I relax; doing nothing or entertaining visitors makes me tired.
Needless to say, only few people can find a job makes you relax. So, it might be good to quote words by Vanessa Williams.
I think there’s a time to work, and everyone has to kind of adjust. And then there’s a time to relax, and be the mom or take the kids on vacation when you need to wind down. So it’s a matter of planning, and being able to map out your year or your week or let’s start with the day. It is just being multi-tasking and being available.
Anyway, all of us should engrave the fact into hearts that we relax because someone made it.

A Part of Wordless Wednesday.
in frames
Sooty skies have been scraped away and red and yellow times are falling into the blue abyss of a sharpen wind.
Why we pin a memory of autumn here before we miss the leaves in frames?
煤けた空は削り取られ、赤と黄の時が研ぎ澄まされた青の深淵へと沈み込む。
紅葉が終わってしまう前に秋の記憶をピン留めするのは、冬に寂しさを感じるからではなく、夏が恋しいからでもない。
the end of autumn
Weekly Photo Challenge: It’s Not This Time of Year Without…
It was a national holiday called ‘Labor’ Thanksgiving Day on 23 Nov in Japan, which is a bit different from Thanksgiving Day in US.
Interestingly a typical joke of the holiday was given on 22 Nov, a day before Labor Thanksgiving.
“Too busy. How can I take a day off. Who established the Labor Thanksgiving, er?”
“Nobody knows. We have only one month to New Year Day and we still have many things to do.”
“Okay! It’s a holiday tomorrow and, I guess, you’re gonna drink a lot and have no plan other than watching TV. Let’s have a meeting tonight.”
“Sigh. It would be unlimited-time one.”
“Don’t you know it means thank-you-for-working-hard day?”
Time to time, it’s not a joke but a serious social problem.
Taking about myself, of course, I went back home as usual and enjoyed autumn leaves of Japanese maple trees next morning of Labor Thanksgiving Day. “紅葉狩り(Momiji-gari, literally hunting autumn leaves)” is indispensable for spending a relaxing time in busy days.
I plan to post another photo of autumn leaves again tomorrow.
勤労感謝の日の前日となると何故か夜に打ち合わせの打診がある。そういえばクリスマスも同じ。何故そんなに働きたがるのか？どうも腑に落ちない。
