I relaxed in my hometown on New Year’s Day. I ate osechi and zouni which ware made by my mother. And I watched some TV program. On 2nd, I paid homage at a Saijo-inari that is a famous shrine in Okayama. I drew a fortune slip. It was kichi(good fortyne). It said I should believe myself and be actively.
