This year has been really eventful. My husband and I started our family, and now we have three, including a puppy named Aurora. In 2020, we had a baby and became four. Then in 2024, we adopted Mimi, a stray cat who used to live at our cafe, and now we have five. Also, I started working while doing housework. My dad passed away in September.. It was a year full of hardships and happiness. I was able to publish the housewarming party of Today's House that I had been hoping for so much. I also received compliments from many people saying that my house is pretty. My house is not as organized as before since I started working, but my husband and I are struggling to make it a house full of happiness. After my dad passed away and I started working, I stopped uploading to SNS, my blog, and Today's House, but our family is still making happy memories in Today's House. This year, I think I thought a lot about the conditions for happiness that I want, the life I want to live, and myself. I think it was because many of the most difficult things in my life happened at once. I was a very greedy person. I wanted to be recognized and succeed. But I thought a lot about whether that was happiness. I thought that maybe I was the one who was dragging a future that didn't even happen, or creating an unhappy today. It's a law of the world that flowers bloom in different seasons, but I was whipping myself, asking why I couldn't bloom in spring. I wanted to be a little more generous to myself after going through a lot this year. Like a line from a certain drama, I could be a flower that blooms in fall. I hope that users of Today's House will end the year by caring for themselves, comforting them, and encouraging them. If I treat myself carelessly, who will treat me with care? I really like the phrase, Today's House. I think that what we live for is not the past that has passed or the future that has not yet arrived, but it starts from today and our house. If we talk about happiness and practice it in our house today, Wouldn't my husband, my children, my puppies, my cats, and my family be happy? They say that we can't be happy every day. However, I pray that in 2025, there will be more happy things than not. Today, we will be happy in our house! #2024HouseoftheYear
