When I read that Lloyds Bank were
sponsoring a competition to find out moments that mattered my initial instinct
was that I wouldn’t be able to enter as 2013 had just been pretty awful and I
would rather just move on to 2014 . Obviously that was the most ridiculous
response as a mere couple of seconds thought put a much more positive spin on
things.
To me moments that matter could
be either something that leaves a deep impact on you so you remember them for
the rest of your life or something that seems pretty insignificant at the time
but changes your life completely.
Back in March my husband was
hospitalised and came very close to being no more. The moment that really
mattered in this case was not the hospital experience but my darling hubby
putting two fingers up to St Peter, yelling yahoo sucks and treating it as a
fresh start.
The next moment that mattered to
me in 2013 was my little boy starting at big school! The feeling of cutting the
apron strings is a bit bizarre but he settled in so quickly that it was hard to
feel sad for too long. I have to stop feeling sad about each landmark event in
the children’s lives but I am sure I just have to blink and they will be all
grown up. Hubby has pointed out that they are unlikely to be able to afford to
move out at 18 though, maybe now is the time to start saving up for their
deposits!
My personal moment that mattered was I got my sewing mojo back! To some it might not be a big thing but for me sewing is a combination between a creative outlet and meditation. I really missed the urge to stitch and now I am ready to start creating again.
