New year greeting 2021 Den and Harumi Okochi hope that you are well and safe from COVID-19. 2020 was a really nasty year all over the world. Corona is still prevailing, and we do not know what to do next. Life is dark and painful. But doctors are working hard, harder over their physical ability. Now shall we look for the silver lining? Here is a song which I like much. It will give us a little courage. Look for the silver lining  Look for the silver lining When e'er a cloud appears in the blue Remember somewhere the sun is shining And so the right thing to do Is make it shine for you A heart full of joy and gladness Will always banish sadness and strife So always look for the silver lining And try to find the sunny side of life Please stay healthy! Best wishes for your better year!
