Autumn Leaves - Red Gives Me Strength! 紅葉 - 赤ってパワフル！

Japanese follows English.　英語の後に日本語が続きます。

These days I can't help but take photos of autumn leaves, especially red ones. Because I need RED😝!

 

Red stands out 赤が際立つ

Beauty in nature

Red things give me strength, so I get red things when I want or need to be strong. Over ten years ago, I bought a ring with a red stone when studying my (US) CPA exam while working. Thanks to the red stone (?), I passed all the four exams a few years later. 

Last year, I bought many red items, e.g., a down jacket, a sweater, a stole, earrings, a backpack..... And I wore two or three of these items almost every day!! At that time I was under a lot of pressure at work.... I needed to be strong mentally and physically to get through.

And now, red things still catch my eye, so I bought three red fleece shirts! (Their red varies of course!) So, now you see why I took pictures of these leaves. Besides, red looks more beautiful with green and yellow. 

Japanese people get a red vest at the age of 60, a tradition called "kanreki" that celebrates their rebirth after turning 60 (or 61 in Korea). It's too early for me, but maybe I've wanted red items to be reborn. (Or this may be my excuse to buy red stuff...😅)

赤く色づいた葉を見ると無視できません。「赤」にはまっているんです。最初は赤い石の指輪（高いものではありません、念のため😁）。働きながら US CPA の試験勉強をしているときでした。パワーが欲しかったんです。

次は去年。赤いダウン、セーター、リュックサック、ピアスを買いました。そして今年は赤いフリースを3枚も買いました。（全部セールです♬）

紅葉を無視できないのも当然でしょ。見るだけで元気出ます！毎日「還暦」の今日のこの頃です。今赤いネックレス購入を検討中です😜
