Moments D156: Shared Words

Today was another challenging day. But it started off with a few moments that stopped to make me smile. Today was one of those days I wish I could have skipped over. Even so, it was a day of multiple moments! I find it humourous how how the energies around me work sometimes. The darkness tries to creep in and I feel the energies I’ve shared out being reflected back. I am thankful for this.

My first moment today was as I was driving into work. The songs that came over the airwaves surrounded me with words of encouragement and impudence. While filling with these words and energy I watched the streetlights as drove I passed them.

This is something I’ve done for as long as I can remember. Every once in awhile, a streetlight turns on (or off) as I pass it. It’s a silly game I play with myself, but it always makes me feel a little special that when I pass a streetlight it turns on.

This happened to me today on my drive into work. It automatically brought a smile to my face.

The second moment today was when I was asked about why people read my blog. Hell, I don’t know. I ramble. I haven’t much to say other than silly moments to share. I had to think about it. My answer was simple: People find it inspiring. Maybe not all of my words, hell, maybe not even a lot of my words. But every once in awhile I connect. And for me, and for those reading, that’s what it’s all about - isn’t it?

And, as if to prove my point, today I received a text from a baseball teammate letting me into his world for a brief moment. I had inspired him to stop and look at the sky. To stop and enjoy the early morning sky. He put all the other “STUFF” aside so he could be one with the sky.

Finally on my way hour drive to my new volleyball league I was surprised by not one, but two phones call encouraging me to be the best I can be tonight. I am thankful for the people in my life.

I love when the pieces fall together. A challenging day, but I am surrounded with smiles and moments. A challenging day and yet what I’ve reflected out has come back to me.

And so, as my colleague struggles with the pains of life and death, I shared my love and energy with him. In my world, this is what it is all about. People. Sharing energy, light and love.

Moments for words.

Moments for thoughts.

Moments to share.
