A Week with Chiharu is a seven-day glimpse into the life of 91-year-old Chiharu as she spends time with her son Mitsu and me in Buren Bay, Japan. Through ordinary moments, sharing meals, singing, sailing, walking, and simply enjoying each day's adventures- I'm exploring what everyday life can teach us about aging well, community, and the art of growing older. Day 5 Today began, as most mornings do, with Radio Taiso and breakfast. Later we went beachcombing, read a little haiku, and as evening approached, experienced one of Japan's delightful summer moments—a yūdachi, a sudden late-afternoon rain shower. Rather than run for cover, Mitsu stood outside and enjoyed his unexpected shower while Chiharu looked on, smiling as she watched her son embracing the moment. What has stayed with me throughout this week is the obvious enjoyment a mother and son find in each other's company. Whether they're sailing, singing, sharing a meal, or laughing in the rain, there is a deep ease between them that feels increasingly rare—and increasingly worth noticing. Tomorrow... Day 6. About the series A Week with Chiharu follows one ordinary week in the life of 91-year-old Chiharu in Buren Bay, Japan. Rather than searching for dramatic secrets to longevity, the series pays attention to the everyday moments that shape a life well lived. #Longevity #Community #JapanSolo #HealthyAging #Japan #MotherAndSon

Whether it's the bows of our sailboat, the edge of a pool or a rocky jungle ledge, our boat dog Rose will sing, bark and give you "the look" until you throw a ball or stick for her to go in after! Being around our "little Aussie Shep", it becomes clear pretty fast that she was born for a life of adventure. This little doggo has traveled halfway around the world by sea, and there's truly no place she'd rather be than on the boat, around her humans. With the boat on the hardstand, we take her out as often as possible, to cool down and go a little wild. This pool in Covigne Gorge is one of our favourites, as it has a nice jungle hike that ends somewhere we can all swim. #dogsworld #boatdog #dogshorts

💧 If you love water, click here: https://www.youtube.com/lyfeuntethered?sub_confirmation=1 Yes, there's been a ton of rain and snow this year, but as of this post, April 2023, Lake Mead is still DOWN 183' below full. It's only at about 30% of capacity. Something has to change. Is it climate change? Drought? Population growth? Can we do anything about it? Let me know in comments.
