今度は、何事も早く取り掛かろう

　２０年前に家を建てたときから使っていた居間の蛍光灯が１年前に１本切れました。しかし、交換するにも天井が高くて届かず、ものぐさな私は１本のままでどうにか生活してました。そして一昨日、ついにスイッチを入れたらガーガーと音が鳴り、残りの１本も点かなくなりました。

　気が付くのは夜ですから、さあ大変。食事するにも困りました。結局、場所を変えて一杯飲みました。

　昨日は早速、近くのホームセンターで２本セットになってる４０型と３２型の蛍光灯を購入、その後、高い位置にどうしたら届くか考えた挙句、机を移動して踏み台として使いました。そしたら安定して作業ができました。結果的に、蛍光灯の交換は意外に簡単で、２本とも明るく点いたときは思わず室内の明るさに感銘です。何かやる気が出てきました。

　人間(特に私)は、やればできるのに、ついそのままにしていることがあります。室内が明るくなっただけで希望が湧いてきた感じです。これを機会に、何事も生活改善に向かって今までより明日を明るくしたいです。そう言えば、「明日という字は明るいという字」が使われてます。室内の他に、これからは人生も明るくしたいものだ。そうだ、今度はすぐに取り掛かろう。

Dear my friends throughout the world

　One of the fluorescent lights in the living room that had been using since I built the house 20 years ago, has burned out a year ago. However, the ceiling was so high that I couldn't reach, so after that I was living with just one fluorescent light. Then, the day before yesterday, when I finally turned it on, it made a beeping sound and the other one fluorescent light wouldn't turn on either.

　When I notice it at night, so it was difficult to even eat. I changed place and had a drink.

　Yesterday, I immediately bought a set of two 40-centimeter and 32-centimeter fluorescent lights at a nearby home improvement center, and I thought how I can reach a higher celling, I moved my desk and used them as a step stool. After that, I was able to work stably. As a result, replacing the fluorescent lights was surprisingly easy, and when both lights turned on, I was impressed by how bright the room was. I feel motivated to do something.

　Humans (especially me) sometimes just keep doing as it was, even though I can do it. I feel like I'm starting to feel more hopeful just by getting brighter in the room. I would like to take this opportunity to do everything I can to improve my life and make tomorrow brighter than before. Come to think of it, the word "tomorrow" in Japanese character means "bright" is used. I want to brighten not only my room but also my life from now on. Yes, I will get started right away.
