Good morning everyone!

Today I’d like to talk about goodbyes and good wishes.

Every year, February and March is a time to say many goodbyes.

So for many people it is a sad and difficult time.

Maybe some of you are sad that this week will be the K3 students’ last week.

Yesterday we had a wonderful sobetsukai. 

Did you enjoy it?

Sobetsukai means “farewell party” in English. 

The word “fare” means to be, do and live.  So farewell, in other words, means be, do and live well. 

And that is why at a farewell party we say goodbye, of course, but we also wish good luck to the person who is leaving. 

We wish them good luck for a happy new life. 

Soon, the K3 students will start a new life.  So let’s wish them the best for their new adventures and experiences. 

Yesterday, at the farewell party, I saw a lot of love.

While it is true that the month of February is a time for goodbyes, I think it is also a time for love and happiness. 

And it is a time to say thank you for all the happy times spent together. 

When we will think about all the good memories we had together we will be happy.

If you love the K3 students then send them good, positive energy. 

How can we send them good energy, you may be thinking? 

We can do that by thinking about them, by remembering them.  

So whenever you think about the good memories with the K3 students, you will be sending them positive energy.  

Love is also a kind of energy.

Actually, love is a very strong energy. 

So this means that you can send someone love just by thinking of them.

And you can even feel this energy of love even if you are far away from each other. 

Whenever you remember someone’s smile, their jokes, and their friendliness, you automatically send them love and feel their love.

I know everyone will be sad to say goodbye to the K3 students and the K3 students will be sad to leave the school. 

But if you love them, and K3 students, if you love us, remember the good times we had together. 

This way, by thinking about the good times spent together, we will be sending each other positive energy.

When you send positive energy and love to someone, you make that person happy but you also make yourself happy. 

Love gives energy to the person receiving it but it also gives energy to the person sending it. 

So K3 students when you are having a bad day or you are tired, remember your life here at Fuji Seishin. 

Remember that you are loved here and when you send us love, it will help you feel better.

And know that we will be sending you love also because we will always remember you.
