Only In Japan 
Hey Jonelle,
Just to say hi & that i love your website. I can’t remember how i found it 3 years ago, but i keep on coming back ever since. Reading a few random articles always happens to cheer me up.
I hope you’re doing well, I wish you all the best !
Wow, thank you for really making my day! Your kind words mean more than you can know——so often it feels like everything I write is like throwing a leaf into the Grand Canyon (as she wistfully watches it waft out of sight) and to hear from a reader who is cheered by something I also found cheering/funny/gorgeous makes it all worthwhile. Thank you for bringing a smile to my face on this gray morning. I’ll go out with renewed cheer today to find some delightful stuff to post here, and meanwhile, I hope you are doing well too, and that you encounter something that makes you happy today too!
