今朝は、余りの急上昇に驚く

　群馬県でも殊のほか寒冷な今年の冬です。しかし、庭の植物たちは「私こそ春一番乗り」とばかり、ついに君子蘭が葉と葉の間から蕾を見せ、私にとって希望の光です。庭先の紅梅【品種名・鹿児島】と、アセビも日に日に蕾が大きく膨らみ、果たして、春一番乗りし、開花する植物はどれでしょう。

　一方、今朝起床し、今年になって初めての驚きです。トランプ氏の大統領就任を明日に控え、アメリカ経済が大きく反応し、ＮＹダウは＋７０３ドル、ナスダックも＋４６６ポイントの最近にない急上昇です。延いては、これが物価上昇で冷え切ってる日本経済に波及するでしょうか。毎日、スーパーへ食品の買い出しに行ってる私の支払いも以前の１２０％高になってます。

　寒冷な気候と、現実の厳しい経済状況の中、いつの時代にあっても、植物が蕾を出すように、私たち人間は希望を持って生活しなくてはなりません。特に「未来輝く子供たちのため」に何か役に立ちたいと願ってます。しかし、娘の子供たちとは生活圏が離れているため、日々私は直接役に立てず、その点は寂しいです。

　今日は地元倉賀野小児童のため、下校時の交通指導の日です。「あなたとつくろう子供たちの未来」をスローガンに、黄色いユニフォームを着て交通安全はもとより、挨拶運動を行い、近所の子供たちと交流を図ります。

Dear my overseas friends who are interested in Nature and great music.

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

　This winter has been particularly cold even in Gumma Prefecture. However, the plants in my garden are like "I'm the first to see spring," and the Kaffir Lily has finally shown her buds between the leaves, which is a ray of hope for me. The buds of the red plum (variety name: Kagoshima) and the andromeda in my garden are swelling day by day, but which one will bloom first?

　Meanwhile, when I woke up this morning, I was surprised for the first time this year. With Trump's inauguration as president of USA tomorrow, the American economy has responded greatly, with the New York Dow rising by +703 dollars and the Nasdaq also rising by +466 points, this is an unprecedented surge. Will this have an impact on the Japanese economy, which is already cooling off due to rising prices? My bill at the supermarket every day to buy food has increased by 120% than before.

　In the cold climate and the harsh economic situation, no matter what the era, we humans must live with hope, just like plants showing buds. I especially hope to be of some use for "children with a bright future." However, because I live far away from my daughter's children, I am unable to be of direct use on a daily basis, which is lonesome.

　Today is the day to provide traffic guidance to the children of the local Kuragano Elementary School as they return home from school. With the slogan "Let's build a future for children together with you," I wear yellow uniform to road safety, we are also participating in a greeting campaign and interacting with the neighborhood children.
