【離れて分かる本当の良さ】
今日の新甲子温泉は晴れて裏那須の主峰、甲子旭岳を望むことができます。
15歳の娘が留学に出かけて5日が過ぎます。1年間の留学はまだ始まったばかりなのに、成田空港に見送ったのはずいぶん昔のような気がします。1月中旬にシドニーから来た留学生が帰国し、下旬には娘が日本を離れ、4人の生活は東京と福島に離れて暮らす夫婦2人の生活になりました。それぞれが自営業で生き残るのに精一杯ですから、幸い感傷に浸る余裕はありません。全てのことに言えますが、離れて暮らすと本当のありがたさがよく分かります。以前の勤務先も、東京の暮らしも、離れてみると本当の良さが見えてきます。
【True good point to understand】
Today's Shinkashi Onsen can overlook highest peak of back Nasu, one of the zodiac signs Asahidake openly.
A 15-year-old daughter goes for studying abroad, and five days pass. Though it just still began, as for the one-year studying abroad, what I saw off in Narita Airport very feels like as in the past. The foreign student who came from Sydney in the middle of January went back to its own country, and a daughter left Japan for the end and was lived a life of two four couples who the life was far in Tokyo and Fukushima, and lived. Though each survives in self-employed people, fortunately, sentiment cannot afford to be filled with deep emotion because it is all one could do. I can say about all, but understand true value well when it is far and lives. When the living of Tokyo leaves the former office, it shows a true good point.

【効率的な二地域居住】
国土交通省が進める「二地域就労」は、過疎や東京一極集中などの社会問題を解決しつつ豊かな生活を楽しむ暮らし方だと思います。多くの仕事がパソコンで処理されつつある今、最大のネックは住宅費と移動コストでしょう。住宅費は2040年には40%前後になると見込まれる空家を活用すれば低コストの住まい確保は可能です。移動コストについてはぼくの場合、福島と東京を車で移動しますので、これまでフィアットで走った66,000kmの1kmあたり平均燃料費5.45円を福島～東京の220kmにかけると1,199円です。高速を使わないために5時間かかる移動時間についても、毎日2時間かけて職場に往復するサラリーマンのことを考えれば十分に効率的といえます。
二拠点居住の素晴らしさは都市と自然のそれぞれの良さを楽しむことができ、仕事の生産性も高まり自由時間は増え、ストレスからも開放されることです。
【Two efficiency-like area residence】
I think that "two area working" that Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport pushes forward is way of living to enjoy rich life while solving a social problem such as depopulation or the Tokyo overconcentration. Now when much work is handled with a PC, the maximum neck will be house costs and movement cost. The low-cost house security is possible if I utilize an unoccupied house anticipated that the house costs become around 40% in 2040. Because it travels Fukushima and Tokyo by car in the case of me about the movement cost, it is 1,199 yen when I hang average fuel costs 5.45 yen per 1km of 66,000km that ran in Fiat to 220km of Fukushima - Tokyo until now. Because I do not use the expressway, it may be said that it is effective enough about such movement time for five hours if I think about an office worker making a round trip every day in the workplace for two hours.
The splendor of two base residence can enjoy a city and each good nature, and the productivity of the work increases in surge free time and is what is thrown open from stress.

【創造の起爆剤】
昨日のランチは南会津の同業の方と情報交換をしました。東京からWifi設定に来てくれた親戚も合流しての会食は、異質が出会う創造の起爆剤だと思います。一人でいると冬場の除雪方法ばかり考えるのですが、親戚と温泉に2時間ほど浸かりながら話していると、そもそも除雪をしないアイデアが浮かびあがります。思考の固着とは恐ろしいもので、人との会話こそが視野を広げてくれると思います。
写真は親戚が持参してくれた昨日の朝食です。直火で炊いたご飯、炭火焼の干物をコタツで食べるのは至福のひとときです。
【Dynamo of the creation】
The yesterday's lunch exchanged information with a person in the same profession of Minamiaizu. I think the dining together with the relative who came for Wifi setting from Tokyo joining to be a dynamo of the creation that difference comes across. I think only a snow removing method of the winter to be alone, but the idea that in the first place does not clear it of snow rises when I talk while soaking in the hot spring with a relative for approximately two hours. I think that the conversation with the person widens a field of vision with a terrible thing with the adherence of the thought.
The photograph is the yesterday's breakfast which a relative brought. It is a time of the supreme bliss that I eat the rice which I cooked, a dried fish of the charcoal fire firing with a kotatsu by open fire.

【欠けているのは生き抜く力】
昨日は大雪のなか親戚が来てくれWiFiの設定をしてもらいました。どこと何を契約しているのかさえ把握していない身としては頼もしい限りです。
雪国の冬の暮らしの大変さは新甲子温泉に来て初めて知りました。屋内なのにあらゆるものが凍ります。ラブラドールの食器の水、コーヒーピッチャーに残っていた水、もちろん水道管も凍り、トイレが使えなくなり洗濯機も動きません。厨房で冷蔵庫を開けるとあまりに温かいので壊れているのかと思います。
寒さは人から生きる力を奪っていきます。思考や気力も著しく低下します。不謹慎ながら、シベリアに抑留された人の筆舌に尽くしがたい境遇をときどき思います。桁違いの寒さ、過酷な労働、希望のない未来、劣悪な生活環境で多くの人が命を落としたのでしょう。現代を生きるわれわれに一番欠けているのは生き抜く力だと思います。
【The power that it survives it to be missing】
I had a relative came in a heavy snow, and set WiFi yesterday. As far as it is reliable for the body which does not grasp whether you contract where and what.
I knew the importance of the winter living of the snowy district only after I came to Shinkashi Onsen. Though it is indoor, every thing freezes. Of course, water left to water of the tableware of Labrador, the coffee pitcher, the water pipe freezes, and a restroom is not usable, and the washing machine does not work. I think whether it is broken when I open a refrigerator in a kitchen because it is too warm.
The cold takes power to live for from a person. A thought and the willpower decrease remarkably, too. I sometimes feel the indescribable circumstances of a person detained by the Siberia imprudent. In far superior cold, severe labor, the future without the hope, many people would lose their life in inferior living environment. I think that it is power to survive to be lacking in us who live in the present age most.

【不自由こそが幸せを見つける鍵】
今朝の新甲子温泉は快晴です。腰の高さほどある新雪を踏み分け剣桂神社まで歩きました。踏み跡ができた帰り道は楽なのですが、道を切り開く行きの労力は2、3倍の運動量です。事業も同じで筋道をつけるまでが大変だと思います。
多くの事業は「不」をなくすことで成立してきました。不自由、不便、不安などです。昨日娘を成田空港で見送り、しばらくは家族3人が離れて暮らす、不便で不自由な生活です。しかし不便や不自由を経験してみて初めて当たり前にあることへの感謝の気持ちが生まれます。僕自身、福島で一人暮らしを始めてから当たり前だと思っていた家族について考えるようになりました。同様に月末になるとお金が自然に入るサラリーマン時代には、お金を稼ぐことの意味を真剣に考える機会はありませんでした。
感謝の念を抱くことで、初めて今の自分がすでに満たされていることに気づきます。不自由こそが幸せを見つける鍵だと思います。
【The key which inconvenience finds happiness】
Shinkashi Onsen this morning is clear. I pushed my way through a certain fresh snow approximately the height of the waist and walked to sword Katsura Shrine. The way back where there was a footprint is comfortable, but the labor of the going to open up a course is a momentum of 2 or 3 times. I think the business to be serious before it is the same and attaches logic.
As for much industry, was "non" established. It is inconvenience, inconvenience, uneasiness. It is inconvenient, inconvenient life to see off a daughter in Narita Airport, and that three families are far for a while and live for yesterday. However, the feeling of the thanks to being ordinary is born only after I experience inconvenience and inconvenience. I came to think about the family who thought that it was natural after one began to live in myself, Fukushima. Similarly, there was not it at an opportunity to think about the meaning of earning money in the office worker times when money was included naturally when it was the end of the month seriously.
I notice that oneself present has been already met for the first time by having a feeling of gratitude. I think inconvenience to be a key to find happiness.
