あんまさん

昨日は、ほぐしておくれ〜!と思って近所の按摩さんへ。

首がこりかたまっていると言われました。

おじいちゃんがやっているところで、何と2時間半もやってもらって4000円。な、な、なんて良心的な!いいのかしら?と思いつつ、これなら数ヶ月に一度は通える!と思ったわけです。

おじいちゃん盲目なんだけど、途中失明だって言ってた。失明する前は、映画が大好きで、映画を人生の楽しみにしようと思っていたそう。

私ごときがちょっとしたことでしんどいと思うなんて、おこがましい。

そういうときは、おじいちゃんを想おう。

I went to get a massage yesterday at a small clinic in the neighborhood.

The masseur was pretty elderly, but he was very good! Though he couldn't manage to soften my shoulders, because they've got completely stiffened after years of work on the computer.

Still I felt much better after the treatment. It lasted for 2 and a half hours, and he charged me only 4000yen! It's the price of half an hour treatment! Wow! how generous! I love to go again once in a while.

The masseur was blind. He told me he lost the light when he was around 20. It must have been very very very very hard to cope with it at first.

I felt ashamed that I grumble about nothing in every day life. I should think of him, when I feel down!
