毎日が最後の日。
ひょんなことから、うちの娘たちが幼稚園だった頃の、動画を見た。とっても小さくて本当に可愛い。ただ、当時はそれが、日常。こんな小さい子にも日々、怒ってしまっていた。
現在、うちの一番下の子が4歳。年少さん。こちらもあとで見たら、絶対こんな小さい子に怒る必要ないと思うだろうけれど、毎日一緒にいると、つい怒ってしまう。
これが、今日1日だけ限定というのなら、もっともっと寛大になれるのだろうけれど、四六時中、子供達といると、ついつい「おもちゃを片づけなさい、わがままは言わない」など怒ってしまう。
今日が最後の1日だと思って接することができたら、もっと寛大に、優しくなれるだろうか。
子供たちだけに対してじゃなく、1日限定という気持ちで、すべてに感謝して生きる。それが理想だけれど、やっぱりなかなか難しい。

By chance, I saw a video of my daughter when they were in kindergarten. They are really cute. But that was just everyday life. I was angry at such a small child on a daily basis.
Now our youngest is four years old. If I look at this one later, I’ll probably think there’s no need to get angry at such a child, but when I ‘m with them every day, I end up getting angry at them.
If it was just for one day, I would be more forgiving, but when I am with my children all the time, I tend to get angry with them, telling them to put away their toys and not to be selfish.
I wonder if I could be more forgiving and kind if I could treat them as if today was the last day.
I think I would be more forgiving and kind if I could treat them as if it were their last day. That would be ideal, but it’s not easy.
