Translation

Lately, I have been trying to value my morning time. Before, I used to sleep until the very last minute and live a life of rushing to get ready and leave the house. However, I felt like I couldn't shake off my fatigue all day long doing that. Now, I wake up a little early and make coffee in a quiet room. The sound of grinding beans and the time the aroma spreads is very luxurious. Just having these few minutes of spare time has changed my feelings toward work significantly. It is a busy daily life, but I want to keep in mind to live carefully.
