Defining moments

by Brenda   Sep 25, 2018


We all have
those moments
that define us...
The ones that will either
make us
hard as a diamond,
shoring up our resolve,
or folding us up,
like a house of cards.
Destroying us completely...
-
Some meet these moments
head on,
anticipating,
ready for the challenge.
Others,
unwillingly thrust
into the snake pit...
You lose a job,
your marriage implodes,
a loved one is dying...
-
What do you do,
when faced with these moments?
What is your
defining moment?

    Yes its those moments that define us, build us and feed
    us that strength which we thought we didn't have, most of all
    courage. A write which will make us ponder..well penned :)

    Moments when we meet a crossroad. Moments when our decisions define our lives thus far. Still, we are never too old to be honest with ourselves and take a u-turn. We can always do the right thing for those we care for the most...

    Make that change!"

    Thank you everyone for your thoughtful comments on this write. That's the awesome thing about everyone on this site, we have all had these moments, our highest highs and our lowest lows. We've expressed these moments in how we write and what we write and blessedly shared it with all of us here. I for one am so grateful to each and every one of you! Hugs!

    Miss Brenda

    Certainly a poignant piece from you. A split second can define a moment, I for one had a wake-up call and that was such a defining moment.
    Nicely done lady
    Much love, M:)x

    Dear Brenda I often wondered what truly defines us or what is the moment that will. Well after working all my life I lost my job one day, my home and living in my car. That was my moment and gave me a complete new and different perspective on life. I have learned never say never. Brilliant write and thank you for sharing. Hugs
