Day 30: Joy

This morning, for the first time in a month, I could drink morning coffee. I enjoyed a delicious buffet breakfast the last day of a one week stay at the 5-star Tokyo Righa Royal hotel (first use of my breakfast coupons). Yumbo!

As I enjoy the end of Peace Month, and 2 billion Muslims celebrate the end of Ramadan, the rest of the world is largely oblivious. Those of the Jewish faith are celebrating Rosh Hashana, the Japanese are enjoying a five-day weekend until Wednesday, others are engulfed in daily living. CNN news has tales of strife, with an undercurrent of anti-Islamic demonization. Can't we have more joy?
