Waiting just to happen to you
Life is made up of a thousand shining moments waiting to happen to you.
- Driving home from work
- Doing the grocery shopping
- Washing the laundry
- While you are on power hold
- Feeding the cat
- During the most mundane moments
Just imagine life and it’s shining moments waiting for you, lurking around that corner hiding behind a cloud. Are you going to see them? Will you know that they are happening to you? Will you be looking for them? I know that I will, for sure. It’s the season of light, and those thousand shining moments will come and go quickly, but I am keeping my eyes open for them.
It may be the flash of smile from a customer service rep, the friendly wave of a car going past, the way the cat purrs as he rubs my leg, but it’s a shining moment. It’s in giving to the food bank, dropping some change into a rattling can for the Salvation Army volunteer, it’s in baking cookies, and laughing with loved ones.
This is definitely the season for those thousand lights to shine.
The moments are going to be different for everyone, none of us will experience them the same. But they are going to be awesome.
And I can’t wait for mine to happen to me. Lyrics by Blue Rodeo
