Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light to my path.  Psalm 119:105

We are given a beautiful promise and an eternal truth.. that God's Word

is a gleaming lamp for our feet, which will guide us through the darkness

and it is a shining light to brighten the pathway we take.

To those I look up to, with many thanks for always kind and considerate to me...

Combining American and Italian Style

The restaurant says they offer Napoli Pizza, but for me, it's like combining American and Italian style!  One lunch time.  I'm showing you one of the nice restaurants around my living place.

Tada--!  My pizza at lunch time😍  Hey! Who can resist this temptation?  Oh, I Do love pizza❤︎

I enjoy Napoli Pizza around my office, and this restaurant in my neighborhood reminds me of American Pizza. It is like a pan pizza, also, remaining a thin Napoli taste. 

Cheers to everyone in the world from Tokyo!  Stay safe, and if you go out like me, don't forget wearing a mask. Take care of yourself and don't catch coronavirus!                      See you, Rose xx

Oh, I missed it! I should've joined this wonderful picnic!

That looks like a fun moment!  One picture was sent to me from my brother while I was lying on the bed after showering. I was sleeping because I got tired from cleaning up my room. 

Pizza is ready to eat. My brother is going to open a sparkling wine. What a lovely nature they are in! I was invited to their lunch this morning, but I've decided not to join. I should do my laundry today. However, I didn't feel like being active. Now I wish I could have this wonderful lunch with my brother & his partner!

I do love pizza! And buying plastic cups with crushed ice is a marvelous idea to drink a freshly cooled sparkling wine on a picnic!

My family hasn't even once gone to the restaurant since the end of March. Eating outside is their good way to protect themselves and others from coronavirus. On the other hand, I'm dining out almost every day these days...😓

I don't like being stuck in the room all day. I need to step outside and get some fresh air. Going to McDonald's near my apartment for a cup of coffee is becoming my habit to clear my head during the corona outbreak.  

Has the second wave hit already!?  Well, tomorrow will be every other day of the pandemic. Oops! I have to go on a diet!

You are beautiful, and very kindhearted.

In Japan, hydrangeas start blooming from June to July. You can see them here and there during the rainy season.

There are also hydrangeas diagonally across from my apartment to the right. I just got back from taking a walk, but again, I got out right away. I should take a picture of these colorful hydrangeas now because it looks gorgeous.

The flower language for hydrangeas seems to vary with color.   It seems like....

Light blue, blue and bluish purple hydrangeas express cold, heartlessness, proud, enduring love, and "You are beautiful, but very cold".

Pink and red hydrangeas are symbols of energetic women and intense passion.

In regard to that, I have an objection✋

"Enduring love" doesn't coexist with "cold" nor "heartlessness".  Rather, it coexist with "intense passion". 

Though enduring love might not be always intense, it is strong and steady. In a real meaning, enduring love is energetic. 

So light blue, blue and bluish purple hydrangeas, I say to you...

"You are beautiful, and very kindhearted." 

Hydrangeas endure the rain. They comfort us by showing their beauty when we are tired of the rain and the clouds. Every color is fine. 

On a windy cloudy day, I came across this flower at the shopping district of my city. I'm not sure what kind of flower it is. Pretty impressive...☆  If you know about this flower, please let me know😘
