Some very emotive
themes were bought up for last weeks topic of moments and memories. I
was grateful that Melody was choosing the spotlight with
so many great entries to chose from.
Spotlight Post #119 ~ by Melody
The 'Memories' prompt
for #F4Thought was one I was going to sit out. So I was delighted to be
asked to
#119 Spotlight Post |
The posts were as
varied as I hoped for. Some memories being tough, others poignant and
some being more whimsical. I don't look at this as picking a winner,
it's too subjective for that. When it comes to choosing a post it
boils down to the very intangible 'how did it make me feel?'
To this end I've chosen
"These Moments In Time" by Submissy. It reminded me just
how much the big things depend on grasping and enjoying the little
things that can seem inconsequential and in doing so brought a big
smile to my face.
"The moments made are the little things, the things that we
could easily do without, those moments in time that, once passed,
will never be thought of again. They are insignificant to the turning
of the wheels of life but so important nonetheless. Without them,
something never-known and never-missed is lost. With them, something
undetectable and unquantifiable is gained. It is a strange irony but
I have tried to grasp those thoughts and make them moments in time,
for from those small gestures, larger things are born." READ MORE...
Prompt #120 The Road Not Taken
This weeks topic was
inspired by a post of Swirlys. I too can relate to a time
when I knew I was at a junction in my life. Which road or door should
I pick?
This poem by Robert Frost highlights that kind of situation very well. Here are a couple
of verses.
Two roads diverged in a
yellow wood,
And sorry I could not
travel both
And be one traveler,
long I stood
And looked down one as
far as I could
To where it bent in the
undergrowth;
Then took the other, as
just as fair,
And having perhaps the
better claim,
Because it was grassy
and wanted wear;
Though as for that the
passing there
Had worn them really
about the same.
What I would really
like to know is -
- what kind of person do you think you would be,
- or what would you be doing now, if you had taken the other road?
You may relate to this
if you have seen the movie Sliding Doors.
I find this a very
challenging question. So please feel free to simply write about a
time when you were faced with such a choice, as well and how you made
your decision.
Here are some guide questions.

- How many times have you found yourself at a junction in your life?
- What helped you choose the road/door you decided on?
- Do you ever think about what you would be doing if you had chosen the other path?
- Tell us about that other you who picked the other route.

I asked Floss how much
she follows her gut intuition when making important decisions.
I follow my gut
instinct virtually all the time when making almost all my choices in
life. Sometimes even when my gut is telling me a decision will end in
tears, I often know that means it will be a fun adventure until it
all goes wrong. So even in those cases, it’s my gut instinct
leading me to make my choice.
