Trifecta Prompt Week 68 – TIME
The definitions to be used are – 3a : an appointed, fixed, or customary moment or hour for something to happen, begin, or end or b : an opportune or suitable moment —often used in the phrase about time.
I have omitted questions marks as I thought that would spoil the rhythm in reading.
It’s Time
Think of how you have lived your life. Are you happy. Have you wished for better, for less, for more. Have you given yourself a break from the pressures of friends, family, colleagues, the everyday rut and yes even yourself.
In all that you have, want, take and give are you satisfied with how your life has unfolded, are there dreams that you cling too, keep hold of them. Are you fulfilled, satisfied with you. Whatever your age, race, education, or background, are you content.
Mindful that you share this life not only with yourself but with countless others. Life will occasionally get the better of you and you will experience moments when you simply feel like giving up. Easier to walk away than confront, easier to stay silent than cause conflict, or heartache. Yet life as you know, will also bring you great happiness and tears of joy.
Everyone of us so complex. Your birth was the beginning of you. Your personality shaped inside the womb. How you live, how you wish to be treated and have others treat you is your own doing. You love, you hate, you smile, you cry. You will be sad, angry, you will be hurt, you will hurt. Savour every minute from the moment you are born till the moment you die.
Your life, one chance.
Give freely of ‘you’ to those you know and love but never let ‘you’ disappear.
You are special, unique.
Enjoy who you love, have loved, but also love yourself.
Write that novel, paint that picture.
Expand, explore your mind.
For time is too short, do not let it pass easily.
Show those that you love, how much you cherish them.
Take time each day for that phone call, for that visit to those you know are missing you.
Tell your children, your parents and those you care about that you love them.
Say you’re sorry or forgive me, or can you understand how I feel right now.
…….perhaps it’s time you stopped to smell the roses.
Tonight It’s Me Evolving
Written before reading other submissions. For Trifecta 
Ramblings From A Mum 
Well said…..time to call my parents:)
I am glad 🙂 xx
The ‘voice’ in this reminded me of the Desiderata. Plenty to reflect on here and a great take on the prompt.
Sandra thank you, when I wrote that didn’t come to me, but now I re-read I see what you mean.
Such a beautiful vision of time, my lovely. I tell myself now more than ever, I have one shot at this life, make it good, be kind, be compassionate and laugh, love, cry and above all be true. Always good to be reflective. Hugs.
xoxo
Thank you darling, yes one shot that we don’t know how long for – Take your hugs and give you one back xox
So inspirational! I love this 😉
Thank you sweetheart, I’m glad you did – I will get around to reading your post soon.. I have so run out of time it seems for many things this week. 😦 xx
Nicely said!
Thanks TF!
Bravo! Bloody brilliant – that’s what I say – and take heed! 🙂 Well done!
I am taken back by your comment- thank you SO much PW – honestly – this means a great deal to me.
These are heartfelt and sacred sentiments – words to live by. Writing has helped me make sense of my life and given me purpose and a place within it. It gives me courage and hope to continue on the path I have chosen when I see others able to so eloquently distill things we should all aspire to; these things that I have have recently discovered for myself and better understood within the grand scheme of things. I feel connected for the first time in a long time and many of those things you wrote about are why I do.
“Tonight It’s Me Evolving”.
Love it!
An acrostic I guess in that last line – thank you so much Badguy. x

Thank you so much Draug, I tried to keep it to one or two lines, but I couldn’t 😦 the Rambly came out 😦 Glad you liked.
You have laid out some very thoughful questions. Alas, the answers are so difficult to answer. Well done!
Thank you LD – yes trying to answer how we think we should or how we need to so vastly different… I hope you are able to answer them as others. I thank you very much for your thoughts.
