Happy New Year from Fujisan!

Happy 2010!!! 2009 has been one of the best years of my life. I have a Fuji Mountain of thanks for all I have been blessed with this year. I’ve been surrounded with people I admire so much, I’ve travelled to San Francisco, Hong Kong, Indonesia, to Kobe and Isu and Hokkaido. (Thank you to my beloved adopted home of Tokyo who hast hosted me for five years now.) I’ve taken some of the best photos of my life and learned so much. I’ve shared so many new friendships and have taken many big strides in 2009 to make 2010 one of the best years in my life. all with a woman that I wholeheartedly love.

My Family and old friends are far but close in heart. I miss them all dearly and look forward to the very moment we meet again.

Despite all the craziness in the world, I have remained optimistic about our future and tried to keep the people around me happy. As we go through life, we must learn to accept eachother’s differences and learn to live life in peace. I do have hope that we can get there and I vow this year to work towards getting us closer. 

This photo was taken just a few moments right after the clock struck midnight. This year already looks like it will be a special one. To all my loved ones, near and far, I wish you the happiest year in 2010.

Happy New Year 2010 from Fuji san.
With Love Always,
