One small moment, one tiny decision. OR one not so small moment, and one not so small decision. It depends which way you look at it. Life and the ways it unfolds. Gosh. I could hang about pondering such things all day. Luckily I have a blog to ramble on. I was having one of those mind wandering moments today. Thinking about life and how one small moment can shape it.
I looked up at my husband, this man I adore, on a 5m ladder in our new home and I worried for him. It’s a long way down from there and I hope we have done all we can to protect him. And as the day came to a close and he, for the hundredth times perhaps, climbed down the ladder I sighed because today it was ok.
Some days, for some people it isn’t.
And that’s what I was thinking about in my mind wander. The times in life that it’s too short, that it’s over before it begins, the times it just slips away. I guess in a lot of ways this time of year does that. You reflect on things as you recharge, bunkered down for the cooler months. I thought about times we have suffered loss in our lives. The lucky breaks. The bad choices that worked out in the end. We are the lucky ones.
I commented on a blog post I read the other day that the net had always appeared when I jumped. That my father would say to me that I was one of the lucky ones. I had a one hundred percent track record of being cared for, provided for, given more than enough. So I should expect that to continue. And so I do. Even in the dark times, the sad or bad times, in times of stress and anxiety, I do. I trust, some would call it faith, that I will be provided for. Come what may.
And I use that to shape my single moments, the small ones, and my decisions. Even the tiny ones.
Hi! I’m Melissa Walker Horn. Around here, they call me Suger. I’m the Chief Blogger and doer of all the things here at Suger Coat It. Blogging since 1901; I love a casual ootd, taking photos, and writing about things that irk or inspire me. I love wine and cheese, long days at the beach and spending time with my family. I make stuff for the internet over at Chalkboard Digital. You know, living the sweet life.
I agree with Mahina trust has a lot to do with it. Also self-confidence. If you have leaped and the universe provides what you need not what you want, then that can rattle you too. Great post as always Ms Suger!
Thank you Lisa. Much appreciated. Leap, hustle and hope like hell. 😉
I think its also got a lot to do with trust. Trust in yourself and your own abilities. Trust in your loved ones. I see people who live without trust, and it makes me so sad. Trust is a powerful thing to posess.
I think you are probably right. Trust and faith and all those things go hand in hand. It’s such a powerful thing to trust yourself and those around you. So powerful.
Beautiful post lady. May the net always give you the faith to leap.
Thank you Jo. x
