“動” Dō, or move ― My 2022 new year resolution.
It has been more than ten years since I got to know my great friends and peers through an interpreting job for a business transition project in aerospace at a local manufacture. It was a project of just less than 4 months but 9 of us as an interpreter team got along with one another very well and we regularly meet up even after the project was over. Sometimes we hold a cozy potluck party and share our own recent news. We weren’t able to hold it F2F in 2021 due to the pandemic and did only a brief chitchat via Zoom. Fortunately, however, we managed this New Year’s F2F potluck party in 2022. It’s always nice to see them F2F and have a great time together, enjoying these exquisite dishes.
At the New Year meetups, we make a New Year’s resolution, always representing one Japanese character. My 2022 New Year’s resolution with one Japanese character is “動” Dō, or move. It’s gonna be a “busier” year with lots of things to do: translation businesses as usual, Japan Association of Translators (JAT) activities, and preparation for getting incorporated. But I’ll be actively moving around onsite from east to west, and here and there over social media, and enjoy all these challenges to come in 2022.
What’s your New Year’s resolution, or do you have anything you want to achieve this year? 🙂
Throwback 2021 and expectation for 2022
2021 was very hectic throughout the year but somewhat productive as well. I already foresee a sequence of events and I’ll be even busier with translation businesses and JAT activities but I’m looking forward to challenges in 2022 🙂 belated happy new year.
初詣 – Hatsumōde, or visiting a shrine to make New Year wishes.
On one of the first three days of the New Year I visit the Hofu Tenmangu shrine to make New Year wishes. Though I refrained from visiting there last year, I made it yesterday as for 2022. Their vibrant atmosphere with throngs of visitors truly gives a good feeling. I wished for blessing of safety, and also successful studying, as Sugawara no Michizane, revered at the shrine, is the god of learning. I should study hard ୧(⑉•̀ㅁ•́⑉)૭✧
