今年の漢字「新」
今年の漢字は「新」に決定。
昨年が「変」、一昨年が
「偽」で、今年は
「新」。
何となく明るくて楽しい感じがして、久々にニュースを聞いていてホッとした。
理由は、新政権（民主の大勝利）、新記録（イチローの９年連続２００本安打、水泳で新記録続出など・・）、新制度（裁判制度、
高速料千円など・・）、新型インフルエンザなどで「新」が注目された様であるが、理由は何にしろ字のかもし出すイメージが良く、気分一新、
新年度に向かって新たな気持ちで望めそうである。
正直、今年１年何かと厳しかった。でも、最後に「新」が今年の漢字に選ばれたことで、総て帳消しとし、
新年に期待しよう。イヤ、期待は依頼であり、そんな事では期待はずれに終わる。今の政界に期待しても、それは無理でしょう。だって、
現内閣１８人中７人が労組出身。保守保身に固まった労組に変革など出来るはずも無く、労組の顔色を窺いながらの政治など期待のしようがない。
それではどうする。先ずは自分に期待しよう。そう・・・総ては自分であり、自分が何を思い何をするかが総てである。
この世は公平に出来ている。因果応報を肝に命じて邁進する事に努めよう。
昨日は船場ロータリークラブのクリスマス家族懇親会であった。
今年は会員による手作りのクリスマス会にしようと、親睦委員長の歯科医師さんが大いに張り切った。先ずは、会員のバイオリン演奏で幕を開け、
会員と会員家族の混声合唱団によるクリスマスソング。その後、見事なボケと突っ込みの漫才、殆ど地のままでいける二人だけに、
見事に楽しい舞台であった。最後は、歌うメガネ屋さんのギター演奏で元宝ジェンヌの珠まゆらさんが素晴らしい喉を披露して下さった。
美味しい食事と楽しい舞台に日頃の憂さを忘れ、とても楽しいクリスマス家族懇親会であった。
平均年齢・・・才の美男美女による混声合唱団。これを機にボランティアで老健施設の慰問にまわろうとの計画が有るとかないとか・・。
米寿を迎えたお爺ちゃんお婆ちゃんが余りの感激に一挙に１０歳は若返ること間違いなし・・・。
何も云うこと無し、このボケっぷり。
歌うメガネ屋さんと珠まゆらさん。
The Chinese character for this year was decided to be “Shin”.
Last year was “weird” and the year before.
By “fake,” this year.
New.
It was somehow upbeat and fun, and I was relieved to hear the news for the first time in a while.
The reason is the new administration (great victory for the Democrats), new record (Ichiro’s 200-ball hit in nine consecutive years, new record in swimming, etc.), new system (court system, etc.)
It seems that “Shin” has attracted attention because of the high speed fare of 1,000 yen, etc.), the swine flu, etc. However, whatever the reason is, the image of the character is good, the mood is refreshed, and there is no need to change.
I can look forward to the new year with a renewed sense of feeling.
Honestly, the year has been tough for me in some ways. But in the end, since “Shin” was chosen as this year’s Chinese character, the whole thing was written off, and
Let’s hope for the new year. No, expectations are a request, and that’s how you end up disappointed. I don’t think that’s what you can expect from the current political world. Because…
Seven of the 18 members of the current cabinet are from labor unions. There is no way that the labor unions, which are fixated on protecting their conservative interests, can make any changes, and there is no way that they can expect politics while waiting for the favor of the labor unions.
So what do we do now? First of all, let’s hope for ourselves. Yes…it’s all about you, and what you think and do is all about you.
The world is made fair. Let’s try to move forward with the idea of causal retribution in mind.
Yesterday, we had a Christmas family get-together at the Funaba Rotary Club.
The chairman of the fellowship committee, Mr. Dentist, was very enthusiastic about making a homemade Christmas party for the members this year. First of all, we opened with a violin performance by a member.
Christmas songs by a mixed choir of members and their families. After that, they were able to keep their jokes and interjections brilliantly.
It was a brilliantly entertaining performance. At the end of the night, the singing glasses shop played the guitar, and former treasure Jenne, Mayura Tama, showed off her wonderful throat.
It was a very enjoyable Christmas family get-together, with delicious food and a fun stage to forget the melancholy of everyday life.
The average age…A mixed choir composed of beautiful men and women of average age. There may or may not be a plan to use this as an opportunity to visit the nursing home as a volunteer…
It’s sure to make grandparents who have celebrated their 100th birthday look as young as 10 years old in one fell swoop…
