Even though my new family member, my son, is slowing down my pace, I am discovering new things every day. Last night, my wife said, “He is full of breast milk and formula, so it’s okay. I’m going to go shopping for a bit” and she went out.
However, as soon as the door was closed, my son started crying, and I tried playing all kinds of music and spinning him around using toys, but he didn’t stop crying.
After a while, I got tired. “Here’s the only music that can overcome the cries!” One of the albums I used to listened to a lot was “ Hell Freezes Over” by the rock band “Eagles.” It was annoying to those around me, but I turned it on a little louder and listened. My son immediately stopped crying, and I thought he was surprised, but by the middle of the second song, he started falling asleep. After that, I continued to cuddle and enjoy music.
I wonder if he could feel my feeling that “if he cries, he will get into trouble.” I always say to our members, but I was tired from the day and had no time to spare, and this incident seemed to show through. This kind of things can be felt in everyday life. I interact with people are working here and there, and I can feel the positive energy from people who is working comfortably, which makes me, the customer, happy and satisfied as well.
