Today’s story きょうの あらすじ
I'm thinking of starting to prepare little by little, from now on, for the next stage of my life after 60. The first step is reducing my belongings. Yesterday, I sorted out my papers. For a long time, I hadn't been able to throw away my aromatherapy textbooks from when I studied it years ago, my TOEIC study guides, and other notebooks and textbooks. I had kept them, thinking I might use them again someday, but I'm not interested anymore, and the exam content has changed too. I got rid of them all at once. I still have a lot more decluttering to do, but I feel like I've taken a new step toward the next stage.
