Future vs. Present

Daniel proved to be hard work for me sometimes due to his inability to fall asleep on his own. For instance, yesterday was a really bad day. He picked up some virus and his voice turned very squeaky and hoarse again and got a bit temperature therefore was fretful all day. He couldn't go sleep no matter what methods I tried, he was so tired and frustrated that he cried each time his head touched bed and it drove me insane.. The day seemed long, Nevertheless, there are moments i found quite enjoyable for the day:

It was the moment when I was cooking I played a music CD titled Paris Cafe in the kitchen while Daniel was sittin in the highchair watching me cooking . It was French music. The music was so romantic and it stired up a lot of happy emotions on me, memory of River Seine, street cafes and sunny afternoons, Tuscany and cocktails. Daniel obviously like french music, he was cooing and showing off on his high chair... Asked myself, ' Do we have to wait the moment when we are 1) richer, 2)slimmer, 3) living in Hawaii to feel happier?' Deep down I know that, over the years, I have gradually swithed the mentality of living for future to more of lliving in the present...

We had another pleasant summer evening last weekend, 8.30pm Daniel fell asleep in Terry's arm in the settee, we put some cushions underneath him knowing he would be sound asleep until I put him in bed. The french door to the garden widely open inviting some of the outdoor's greeness into the lounge, it is so tranquil outside in the garden, only birds can heard. The sky was still blue with hints of orange as the sun going down behind the trees, classic music was playing on the audio inside lounge and floating outside to the garden...
