Cha Cha Maru

Reading about Lightning up, I was thinking about what would lighten me up no matter what sutuation I would be in. I haven't been able to come up with a perfect answer yet, but what popped in my head was Chachamaru. Chachamaru is a dog(shibaken) who used to live in front of my house. He isn't our dog, but he would often run out from the windows of his home and run into our garden. He would look me in the eye with a guilty look but still ask for food. 

He doesn't live in front if our house any more but I recall him being one of the joys in my life. Even if I had had a bad day, just by looking at him would jusr lighten me up. And thinking of that made me realize how celebrating and cheering up aren't the only ways of lightening up. Just by seeing or meeting your loved ones can also be away of lightning up. If you're feeling down, or want to just cheer up, maybe you should think about seeing some one or some dog you would feel good after seeing:)

OK, that was like a really silly blog post but it's probabaly because it's a Saturday night...
