Spring, the time of fresh new beginnings, has arrived.
Let's always treasure and take good care of the people

By doing our best to be cheerful and sincere
let's spread a warm light of caring friendship all around us!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Naturally, everyone wants to avoid problems and unnecessary suffering. No one chooses to worry or suffer. But does the mere absence of hardships or problems equal happiness? No, the true essence of happiness is inner fulfillment. And the way to attain a true sense of fulfillment is to face our problems, work hard to solve them, and triumph over them. Everyone has experienced, to a greater or lesser degree, the joy this process brings.
"An airplane can fly because the strong wind resistance against its wings lifts it into the air....
"There are times in life when we find ourselves beset by unimagined storms of tribulation, but if we have the courage to face them head-on, we can definitely get through them. Faith is the highest form of courage."
