At Any Moment

At any moment in time, we can be confronted with the reality of a birth, marriage or death of a loved one or friend. The same is true of accidents, injuries or illnesses. In reality, we can have dozens of events taking place simultaneously, including graduations, birthdays and anniversaries.

Amazingly, our thought processes are not overwhelmed by any of them, at least not for very long. When there appears to be difficulty processing something, our mental faculties are such that we cope in one way or another. Sometimes, we need time to sort out events and think things through. We are able to do that and can marvel at how we respond.

Note that these life events can be personal or non-personal, depending upon the relationship we have with others. It does not really seem to matter if they are personal or non-personal, as we can deal with them, either way. We rejoice with those who are rejoicing and grieve with those in mourning.

More than likely, most of us do not appreciate the ability of our thought processes to keep our lives ordered, in spite of the dozens of things that happen and cause chaos, every single day. We know that everything is 'only for a time' and 'this too will pass', whatever it is.

Take a moment and make a note of the events in your life, for just one day.

You may be amazed.
