She was born at home. There were 4 people. (Mama, Papa, Midwife and assistant).

Thank you very much for all.
After 1 year:
Before 1 year.
For 2008, word of the year for me was
"Today is the best day of life".
If we say so, it will become. And next day we can say again, it will be better than yesterday.
If we say, we may think how should we spend time on my special day. Even we see some unhappy people some where, we don't need to care. They may be not in the best day of life. But we are in the best day of life.
Some guru said to focus on "now" and "now" is the best time of life. But I could not. When I was hungry, I was not really happy about that.
But if we are in the best of day life, we know we will eat something delicious later the day. It happens.
Another version is "today is the last day of life". We don't need to say. But if we think that is OK as last day, we may take extra step and avoid procrastination. If we take one extra step every day, some thing will be changed.
So it is my favorit word now. Try 3 days, you will see difference.
Thank you,
Naoki

It is from Thank You Guy (Mr. Seikan Kobayashi)'s book.
Goethe
Goethe (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 1749-1832) is popular in Japan. He is introduced in school text book.
Human's biggest sin
He said "Human's biggest sin is being glum mood (or cranky mood, bad temper)". It is not starting war or murder. Because most of other thing we think it is not good is only one time. But people don't think glum mood is not so good.
Constant & influence
So it does not end. It is contagious. It will cause stress to other people. Sooner or later it will come back to you. People did something not good were not good mood. It is very common. Some people use "justice". But if you are really good mood, you don't care so much.
Just stop it
We cannot change other person. But we can change ourselves. Only we can is just stop at our place.
How to being good mood
If it is sunny day, you've got present from wife, you've got bonus from work, you ate something good at lunch time, of cource you can be in good mood.
It is beginner level.
In advanced level, you can keep in good mood.
Keep smile. Use only good word (heavenly word). Wear only bright color cloth.
Master level
Just keep saying only good word such as "Thankful" or "I'm so lucky & happy." without any reason. You can say 1000 times everyday.
If you say, your brain start looking for why you are so lucky & happy. When you find out reason, you'll become real happy & lucky person.
Then we can stop chain of sin.
Thank you,

Here's another story from Seikan-san (Thank
you guy).
There's point system in cosmos.
If you do something good, you get cosmic point or cash (money). Cash is good. We need for living. But it does not have interests.
Cosmic point has huge interest rate, such as 1000% / year.
You can use the point for something you wish.
But there's bankruptcy system. If you say hell word (complaint, curse, disaffection, etc. You know.), the point got clear all.
So let's use good word only.
Thank you,
Naoki
