明けましておめでとう！
Wow, how nice to have the time this year to not rush the 年賀状. I usually have to work, so I have to slap something together. Can’t say that my work reflects much difference from a rush job and a leisurely one, but I at least had more time to stare at it and think about changing things without worrying that New Year’s would be over before I finished it. I was inspired this year by the saying: 「虎穴に入らずんば虎子を得ず」. It parallels with the English saying of “nothing ventured, nothing gained.” I don’t much practice this idea, but I could benefit a little more by entering the “tiger’s den” more often.
Really hope I get to enjoy myself a little better this year. I feel like I was a little too busy being miserable in 2021 to do so. Also, I didn’t notice last year, but this is just past the 10th anniversary of me making my first 年賀状 back in 2012. I hope I continue for another decade, but who knows if my creativity will last that long?
