Feminine Mystique

Hi, everyone!

Plum, I can’t imagine that you were going to Koshien ballpark. There is a sacred ground for fanatical fans, and I easily understand your fright of unbelievable excitement there.

Magnolia, I’ll express my appreciation for your comment in detail, and I respect your great self-control. If I were in your position, I couldn’t know what to do. So, let’s enjoy our joyful trip some day!

Alice, you have really a large circle of friends, do you? The Iguacu Falls…!
It’s fantastic plan.

Today, I found an unforgettable passage in ‘Feminine Mystique.’ Let me introduce it:

The problem was dismissed by telling the housewife she doesn’t realize how lucky she is---her own boss, no time clock, no junior executive gunning for her job. What if she isn’t happy---does she think men are happy in this world? Does she really, secretly, still want to be a man? Doesn’t she know yet how lucky she is to be a woman?

The passage in Japanese was a great shock to me before, and now they make me happy to discover something special.
So, it’s time to wash dishes. Good bye, dear friends!

Hello, Cherry and friends,

Cherry, you read so many books! I'm ashamed that I am very lazy. The title feminine mystique sounds beautiful.

Magnolia, I try to imagine if I were in your position. It is very tough because your husband had illness. My husband tells me to go to coffee shop and travel together, but I'd rather not like to go. I'd like to spend time with my children or friends. I try to consider he is not my husband but friend to spend time together.

It's time to go to bed. Good night.
