余力を残すことは簡単なことではなく、
意識しないとなかなかできないこと。
ワーキングマザーと余力について、自分の思い出から、久しぶりに英語で書いてみたいと思います。
リゾットに続き、若山曜子さんのレシピ。
It is very difficult for a mother to save her energy especially when she has a job.
I often see young, tired mothers who remind me of my mother in her young days,
Many people might say “Save your energy for rainy days.”, but I always feel like saying to them “Save your energy for sunny days.”
My mother was a nutritionist working at a public hospital.
She worked on weekdays, every Saturday morning, and even on national holidays including January 1st every year.
She was always busy and tired.
She never came to my elementary school.
I was so disappointed when she said to me, “I don’t want to cook at home because cooking is my job. I’m sick of potatoes and carrots.”
I always wanted to cook with her, to play with her but she had had little energy for sunny days.
I was proud of her working as a professional, at th same time, feelng sad as a child.
My mother passed away twenty years ago and I still wish we could have had more time together.
Life is full of rainy days and full of sunny days.
You might want to save energy for rainy days but I hope you will save your energy for sunny days and
enjoy sunshine
with your loved ones.

Some people are making such thorough preparation for rainy days that they aren't enjoying today's sunshine.
