////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I introduce ''寝'' on this time.


This kanji has an opposite meaning of '' 起 ''.

I feel very happy at the time of going to bed.
How about you?


I introduce ''住'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are pieces of peace.
