So happy.....

So I am lying in bed in Toshiko's little mezzanine bedroom, in her beautiful wooden house in Nakatsue, a remote mountain village in central Kyushu island (bottom one), Japan. My lovely daughter-in-law is asleep nearby.  Really, how lucky can one be.
When Toshiko and Kiyoshi collected us at Hita station, Toshiko and I hugged till we cried. Sometimes moments are almost overwhelming.
Soon we were laughing at our aging selves and set off for home. In the evening, we 3 girls floated in the big "tub" at an onsen (hot spring). There is nothing in this world that beats this sisterhood experience. The outside of the buildings is a bit eerie at night, with steam rising from the earth. Here is an example from Google.

So how can I capture these precious moments- in a bottle? I think my cancer experience 2.5 years ago gives me a heightened awareness of beautiful relationships and places.
