猫のように自由きままに好きなことだけして過ごすなんてぜいたくだなあと思っていたが、最近はかなりそれに近づいてきたようだ。今日は予定がないなあと思ったらゆっくり時間をかけてヨガをやってみる。83歳の先生の頑張りに刺激されて逆立ちに挑戦したら、なんと学生時代にもできなかったのに成功したのだ！もちろん壁に支えられてではあるが。おそるおそる壁から足を離して空中で１，２，３，４，５，６・・・やった！！6秒成功。次は20秒を目標にしよう。気分がいいので何か作りたくなる。料理は下手の横好き。ＴＶで夏野菜の炒めものをしていた。豚肉を冷たいフライパンに並べてゆっくり炒めると豚肉から油が出てそれで野菜をいためることができるのでヘルシーなんだそうだ。長芋とおくらのネバネバは身体にいいし、生でも食べられる食材は炒めすぎないように表面だけいためて食感を残すのがポイントとか、ウムなるほど。やってみておいしかったら「おうちごはんの会」で披露することにしよう。これは日ごろコンビニ食の多い単身者のために我が家で手作りご飯をごちそうするというもので、まだ2回しか実施していないが盛り上がって深夜に及ぶ。楽しそうだからと家庭持ちも参加したがっている。次回はお好み焼きパーティの予定だが、明石焼きも加えたらどうかと試しに作ってみた。明石の生タコを買ってきてゆがいたらすごくおいしい！う～ん、おいしいものはひとを幸せにするから、こういう努力は続けたいなあと思うのだ。へこんだときは「明日、考えよう」と先ずは寝ること、そしておいしいものを食べて元気になること、猫にならって余分なことは考えないこと、これに限ると思いませんか？
I used to think it would be too much of luxury to live like a cat: free and do whatever they want whenever they want, but now i feel like my life's getting closer to theirs. Today I didn't have any plans, so I spent quite sometime doing yoga. My 83 year-old yoga teacher inspires me try to do a headstand. I never done it before even in my school year, but this time I did it( with the wall support)!! Then I try to move away from the wall and stand on my own. 1,2,3,4,5,6.. I did about 6 seconds! I should try for 20 seconds next time.
I feel good and want to cook. Though not a good cook, I love to cook. They were showing fried summer vegetables on TV. When you stir pork slices slowly on the cooled pan, in which pork slices let the oil out and you stir vegetables from that oil: which is supposed to be healthier. Chinese yam and okra are sticky and supposed to be good for your health. You have to stir not too much and leave their own flavor. OK i'm gonna try..
If it turns out good, I gotta have it on " Home cooking party" that I have been hosting lately. It is for the singles who tend to eat fast food or frozen food often, I invite them to share the home cooking food. It only happened twice so far, but it gets pretty fun and tend to go on to almost midnight. Now even family or couple wants to join. Next time I am planning to do Okonomiyaki party, and thought I want to have Akashi yaki as well so I tried beforehand. I bought fresh Akashi octopus and blanched them, hmmm delicious..
Delicious food makes people happy so I gotta keep trying to have delicious food.
When you're down, say "forget it I'll think about it tomorrow" and go to sleep, have delicious food, and not think too much, like cat, don't you think that's the way to be?

猫的生活、いいですね〜。
シロのシャッターチャンスを逃さないお母さんのカメラの腕前は、なかなかのものですね！
シロも元気そうで、なによりです・・・。大欠伸のネコもカワイイ・・・。。
はじめまして！！
私はストレス満載の悩める猫ですが、猫的生活、理想的ですね。ぜひ、実行してみたいと思いますが・・・。
シロちゃん、癒されますね。カメラを向けたくなるのももっとも、私は小さな子どもたちの笑顔に癒され、シャッターを押してしまいます。
「猫的生活」「ヨガ」「おうちごはんの会」と、実に有意義な生活を送っていらっしゃる。これらも・・いつか・・夢見て・・頑張ります。また、応援よろしくお願いします。
