It is running towards the end of 2020. Usually we think of the end before the beginning of November. Because when we think of the beginning and end people generally of the New Year and the end of the year. We get very excited at the beginning of each year. Most people set goals saying 'I must do this this year!' And to achieve the goal, we even make concrete plans. After a month or two they cannot remember where they even put the paper they wrote down on. However, we don't recruit ourselves like that. Because we forget even our goals. Why don't you think about the plans you've forgotten for a while and wrap up the year? We often hear the word 'competition' in our daily lives. It is on yesterday's self that we have to compete. Now let’s ask ourselves "Am I getting better and better than what I was?" With the past as a mirror, if we live in a better shape today than yesterday, and tomorrow, we will have nothing more to achieve. Let's wrap up 2020 well by whipping ourselves back into shape. Time continues to pass and we’re the only ones that can make use of it.

          In November, there is 'Ipdong', the starting of winter. Winter is a season of recovery and preparation. Sometimes our fate resembles a fruit tree in winter. Who would think that those branches would turn green again and blossom, but we hope for it, and we know it will happen. I pray this winter to be gentle and kind – a season of rest from the wheel of the mind. Thank goodness for the winter, it was a reminder that no matter how old you became and how much you’d seen, things could still be new if you were willing to believe they still mattered. When the snow melts after the cold winter, spring comes, not water. Enjoy the winter’s comfort, delicious food, and warmth until spring comes full of life. I hope your winter, dear reading, will be warmer than ever.
