新年の挨拶
新年あけましておめでとうございます。
初出勤時に更新するのが例年の事でしたが、今年は何故か一週間遅れとなってしまいました。特に何か理由がある訳ではない。ただ単に更新しなかっただけ・・・。
これが歳なのかな？。そんなことを云うから歳なのだ・・・、
そんなこんなで、これからはマイペースでやって行こうと思います。何とぞよろしくお付き合いの程を願います。
今年の大阪の元旦は天候に恵まれ、凛とした清々しい新年を迎える事が出来ました。ただ、コロナ禍の中、ステイホームという事で子供の里帰りもなく、妻と二人の静かな元旦でした。でも、これはこれで中々良いもの。2日3日はそれでも数名の来客があり、正月らしい楽しいひと時を過ごす事が出来ました。
今年は4日が月曜日という事もあって、4日初出となりましたが、出勤時の高速道路はガラガラ。一寸拍子抜けするほどのスムーズな出勤となりました。それこそ、今年一年がこの様なスムーズな年になればと願いますが、現実にはスタート時からコロナが猛威を振るい、関東１都３県、関西２府１県に再び緊急事態宣言がだされ、楽観を許さな状況にあります。ただ、2月にはワクチン接種も始まりそうですので、国民一人一人が感染防止に注力すれば、決して悲観することは無いでしょう。先々を予測して動く株式市場などは、逆にここ数年来の好況で推移しており、将来の明るさを予測したものとなっております。楽観は許されないがマスコミ報道にあおられることなく、最大のコロナ対策をしながら前を向いて積極的に活動して行けば、東京オリンピックもあることです。きっと良い年になるでしょう・・・。
くれぐれも今年一年、ご指導ご鞭撻の程よろしくお願いいたします。
今朝窓を開けるとこのような雪景色。
New Year’s Greeting
Happy New Year to you all.
It has been my usual practice to update this page when I first arrive at work, but for some reason this year I’m a week late. There is no particular reason for it. I just didn’t renew it….
Is this how old I am? I’m old because I say so…
So, from now on, I’m going to do this at my own pace. So, I’m going to be doing this at my own pace from now on, and I hope you’ll keep in touch with me.
This New Year’s Day in Osaka was blessed with good weather, and we were able to welcome the New Year with dignity and freshness. However, it was a quiet New Year’s Day for me and my wife, as we were in the midst of the Corona disaster and my children did not return home because we were in a stay home. We still had a few visitors on the 2nd and 3rd, and we had a good time as if it was the New Year.
This year, the 4th was a Monday, so I started my first day of work on the 4th, but the highway was empty when I left for work. It was a smooth ride to work. However, in reality, corona has been rampant since the start of the year and an emergency state has been declared again in the Kanto region and two prefectures in the Kansai region, so the situation does not allow for optimism. However, vaccinations are expected to start in February, so there is no need to be pessimistic as long as each and every citizen focuses on preventing infection. The stock market, for example, which moves in anticipation of the future, on the contrary, has been booming for the past several years, predicting a bright future. Although there is no room for optimism, if we look forward and work proactively while taking the greatest possible measures against coronary heart disease without being overwhelmed by media reports, we will have the Tokyo Olympics. It will be a good year….
I would like to ask for your guidance and encouragement for the rest of the year.
When I opened the window this morning, I saw a snowy scene like this.
