Importance of the ordinary.
☆
We are scared. I feel the fear of the pandemic. Therefore, please keep the ordinary days. It is absolutely important to follow the safety precaution. Wash your hands. Don’t cough to someone’s face. But, don’t be skeptical of another human to protect yourself more than necessary. The virus is out there, but we all have the ability to fight back, the so-called immune system.
☆
The “ordinary” days will increase the immune system. Eat healthy – enjoy the local green/fruit instead of processed food. Sleep well – instead of searching for the reasons to be freaked out. Laugh & Enjoy days – instead of being stressful to even talk to your close friends. Good diet, good sleep, and good laughter (instead of being stressful) is the best way to prevent this outbreak, I believe.
☆
Enjoy hand-stitching, eating handmade food with lots of caring. The ordinary days in which the ordinary people enjoyed before the “competitive days” may be the key to defeat the outbreak. I will continue Sashiko live streaming because it is my ordinary. I hope this will be a time to remember the importance of the ordinary. ☆
With respecting the professionals who sacrifice their ordinary to resolve the issue, we as the ordinary citizen can try to be as ordinary as possible. At least, that is what I can do. (I am NOT encouraging the socializing. Please stay at home as much as you can to prevent the spreading. I am advocating the importance of “ordinary” with following the necessary precaution.)

世界中で不安と心配が渦巻いています。こんな時だからこそ、「日常」の大切さを言葉にしていきたいと思います。ご飯をしっかり食べ、しっかり寝て、沢山笑う。市中感染があり、誰が保有者かわからない今、個人の免疫能力こそが一番大切だと思っています。だからこそ、日常。ストレスを感じたら刺し子。少なくとも僕は、この期間、刺し子を沢山しようと思っています。「目的を達する為に無理をする」時間が多かったからこそ、今、この瞬間、「日常とはなんだろう」と考えながら刺し子をして、文章を紡ぎたい。終息に向かい、その日常を犠牲にしても頑張って下さっている専門家の方々に尊敬と感謝の念を懐きつつ、僕はやっぱり日常の大切さを伝えていきたいと思うのです。

Keeping ourselves and our families as safe as possible needs to be our primary goal while we care for others who may be at greater risk. ❤️
Yes that’s exactly what we should be doing. Well said again. And supporting our local fresh food producers is important too.
Thank you for these wise words.
