-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It's becoming colder every day
and (the cold/flu season is about to
come into full swing.)
By washing our hands thoroughly,
and gargling more often than usual,
paying closer attention to our diet
and quantity and quality of sleep, etc.,
let's take all possible measures
against infectious diseases.
Good health is indeed the very basis
of everything.
