Привет! 😁 Читаю очередную статью о важности баланса, гармонии в нашей жизни. Мне кажется, тема интересная! 
Сейчас мир как будто сходит с ума. 🤯 Все куда-то спешат. 🏃‍♀️🏃
Нужно быть лучше, богаче, успешнее, много работать, учиться, заниматься спортом, качественно отдыхать и, конечно же,  общаться с близкими, родными, друзьями. 
Все мы разные. Есть, например, люди-трудоголики, которые живут работой и не находят ни на что больше времени. ⏳️ 
И тут я задумалась, есть ли в моей жизни баланс.🤔🙃 
Вот в статье пишут, что всего выделяют 6 сфер: 
1. Семья и дом 
2. Финансы и карьера 💶
3. Саморазвитие и образование 📚
4. Тело и здоровье 🤸‍♀️ 
5. Общество и культура 🗣
6. Духовное развитие и этика. 🤠
А как ты думаешь, твоя жизнь гармонична? 

Ты со мной?

<TRANSCRIPT>
日本の家庭には必ずバスタブがあり、毎日お湯を入れて浸かる人が多いです。
でも、私の家にはバスタブがないので、最近まで毎日シャワーだけでした。
でも、ドイツの冬は長く、寒いので、お風呂に入れないのはとても辛いです。
だから、このお風呂をアマゾンで見つけて買いました。
このお風呂はビニールでできていて、空気を入れて使います。
使わないときは空気を抜いて小さく折りたたんで、置いておくことができます。
お風呂に入ると、下半身が温まるのでうれしいです。
このお風呂の欠点はお湯がすぐにぬるくなることです。
みなさんはお風呂に入るのが好きですか？

Nihongo Short Story by Noriko

私のお風呂について

小猫咪咪是一个小小的猫咪。她的家在大树下的一个小盒子里。有一天，咪咪要出去玩。她玩得很开心，跑来跑去，结果迷路了。

咪咪走到了一个大花园里，看到了一只小狗。小狗非常友好，对咪咪说：“你好，小猫，你迷路了吗？”咪咪点点头，小狗决定帮助她。

小狗带着咪咪找到了一个大树，小狗说：“这是你的家附近的大树，你可以在这里找到你的家。”

咪咪很高兴，她谢谢小狗，然后跑回家了。从那以后，咪咪每天都和小狗一起玩，成为了好朋友。
