“Just A Moment”

“When you’re free, I need a moment of your time.”

“It’ll only take a moment.”


moment – “an indefinitely short period of time; instant”


Life occurs in moments. “Good moments” don’t seem to last long enough. “Bad moments” seem to last forever. Whether good or bad, all “moments” are fleeting.

And that’s the thing we seem to forget – moments don’t/won’t/can’t last forever.


We need to fully comprehend that we exist only for a moment. Consider the following:

  • The earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old
  • The sun is approximately 4.6 billion years old
  • The average life expectancy in the US is 78.6 years for males
  • The average life expectancy in the US is 81.1 years for females

In the grand scheme of things, we walk the face of the earth only for a moment. We exist, only, but for a moment.


Every moment of your life matters.

Every second counts.

Make the most of your moment!

I love words & enjoy the freedom of writing. I strive to find the exact word to convey not only my thoughts, but also my feelings. I desire to fill the paper with words much the same way an artist fills the canvas with paint. To me, writing is an art form.
