A trip to Portugal on our 'divorce anniversary'.
Although it was a brief encounter, I captured the people and moments that will be remembered for a long time through film photos and words.
Just living, sometimes, maybe often.
If anyone who can recall the train they got on wrong reads this, I would like to share in the beautiful scenery.

"Since I've already gotten on the wrong train, it might be better to just take my time and enjoy the scenery outside the window.
You may meet new people or see unexpected scenery on that train trip."
These words are still vivid.
Surely no one gets married just to get divorced.
But it is undeniable that getting on the wrong train played a part in the publication of a few pages of my diary and a few photos into the book I am today.
Just living, sometimes, maybe often.
If anyone who can recall the train they got on wrong reads this, I would like to share in the beautiful scenery.

“That's okay.
Don't be so sad.
Tomorrow is another day.”
“It’s okay, don’t be too sad.
Tomorrow is another day.”
It really broke my heart to hear that there was no octopus at the restaurant.
How many things in life go as I planned?
Even so, there is no need to be too sad, but I was very sad after the divorce.
That can happen as you live, and tomorrow is another day.

There is one guestbook I remember.
A post about how I thought I could get married in my forties, like everyone else, but I ended up getting married alone again.
I don't know if she's my older sister or my older brother, but she's so cute that it makes me laugh.
I guess I should be thankful that I tried what everyone else did.
I'm laughing again.
