いよいよ新年度がスタート・・・夢を持ちましょう。

　今日４月1日から新年度です。小中高生は進級し、クラス替えもあり、新たな友達、新たな担任、新たな教科担任との出会いなど新たな事づくめです。

　一方、学校を卒業し、今日から会社勤めになる人もいます。今までの友達付き合いから、今度は年齢の異なる人との交流になり、全く今までの環境と変わります。転勤になる人は、今までと先ず通勤路が変わり、職場環境はもちろん、人との出会いなど新たなことだらけです。これを機会に心機一転し、新たな目標に向かって前進です。

　また、退職した人は今日から生活が一変します。すべてに於いて自己管理となり、大きなことは今月から給料が来ません。経済と健康は生活の基盤ですから、計画性ある生活を心掛ける必要があります。と言っても、時間が生まれるので今まで出来なかった大きな「夢の実現」というチャンスが到来です。

　という私も、年齢を重ねつつあり、新たな気持ちで今年度を過ごさなくてはなりません。今年度は地区の役員(上四地区会計監査)を仰せつかったことから、地区の方々との交流を一層密にします。個人的には、学生時代のように、如何に「記憶力を増進」させるかチャレンジします。また、ピアノでモーツアルトなど新たな曲に挑戦し、ピアノを弾く時間を増やします。でも、聴いてくれる人がいないので困ります。これは迫り来る認知症対策です。このように、多くの人にとって「今日は人生の節目の日です。」

Dear my friends abroad

　The simultaneous interpretation for your understanding will be after my breakfast in Japan time.

.........................

　The new fiscal and academic year starts today in Japan as different from your nation. April 1st. Elementary, junior high, and senior high school students advance to higher grades, change classes, and have new experiences such as meeting new friends, new homeroom teacher, and new subject teachers.

　On the other hand, some people graduated from school or university and start working at a company today. From the friendships you had before, you will now be interacting with people of different ages so that the environment will be completely different. For those who are transferred, there are many new things to do, such as a change in commuting route, a new work environment, and new opportunities to meet new people. They will take this opportunity to make a fresh start and move forward toward new purposes.

　Also, if you retired the company, your live will change completely from today. Everything will be self-managed, and one of the most big thing is that your salary doesn't come from this month. Economy and health are the foundation of life, so you need to keep a well-planned lifestyle in mind. That being said, now that you have plenty of time, you will have the opportunity to make a big dream come true that you have never been able to do before.

　I am also getting older, and I have to spend this academic year with a new mindset. This year, as I have been appointed as a district officer (the Kami-4th district accounting auditor), I will be working more closely with the people of the district. Personally, I am trying to strengthen to "improve my memory of English new words and phrases" like I did when I was a student. I will also try to play new pieces such as Mozart works by the piano and increase the amount of time for playing the piano. But I'm in trouble because there's no one to listen to my performance. These are cures against senile dementia for me in advance. For many people, today is a turning point in their lives.
