Life changing moments

[Kurt.]

Not yet mar, she never changed anyone’s life.
Have you ever had a moment in your life, something as significant or insignificant as you like that made you think Wow !! And changed your perspective on life ?

Deep topic I know, sorry

I would think for most people it may be births, marriages & deaths.

Lots of other things too of course.

Should be interesting.

As a mid teenager getting into music, a pal let me hear a "proper" high end hifi - that started me on a life long interest in acoustics.

While teacher training, eons back, I was randomly paired up with another trainee for a school. This new pal (now a very, very good one) introduced me to good single malt whisky. A few years later the same fella turned up in a classic car and I realised ownership was achievable.

One daft manoeuvre in a pointless game of footie snapped my acl and damaged cartilage - now years later they arthritis has kicked in and I can no longer enjoy hiking. Even walking to the pub is unpleasant. Walking back less of an issue.

…..in summer of ‘75, I’d left school, finished with LFC and was waiting for A Level results with intention of university so I decided to go on the Dole for the holiday. I goes in to sign-on and the girl behind the counter asks if I fancy a holiday job in there for the summer, I said yes and an interview was arranged with the Manager.

I started with the aim of working for a few months and left the Civil Service 41 years later. I met my future wife in that office and often wonder which direction my life would’ve gone had I gone to sign-on an hour later.

Weird how an unplanned moment can shape your entire life. So, so lucky.

When our youngest lad popped out with undetected disabilities.

You could quite literally draw a line :

One minute you`re living one life, out he pops and you`re now living another.

Wouldn`t change it for the world.

Many. Times where I felt broken. Times where I couldn't see a better time to come. Times where I have been amazed at how lucky I was to get something I wanted or needed at that moment. Times when a stranger enters your life, leaves a mark and you change. Life works in mysterious ways. I am blessed. Looking to try to let myself enjoy as many moments as possible this year.

Yeah.

Nearly twenty years ago I was in an incident which left me with long term brain injury . I could have died , I certainly should have long term effects worse than I have .

There was a fallout from it and led to me reevaluating my life and those in it , I cut some people out of my life because having them in it was pointless.

Simultaneously the worst day of my life yet one that probably had the most positive impact on me going forward .

Weird reflecting on it now actually .

When the spaghetti is overboiled, I notice timing is everything.

Many moments of being bullied in school, getting beaten by groups of cowards, threatened daily, etc.

Really affected me badly for years. But now I'm in my early 30s, never gave up on myself and though I still get haunted by it from time to time, I'm proud of who I am today and truly believe that all that darkness and inner turmoil caused by these moments now make me appreciate the beauty of life as I created it for myself these past few years a lot more.

Taking my late fathers advice & banging on the door of the Parks Managers Parks department office not for a job , but for advice in a career in Horticulture - 10 times after him being out 9 times he seen me in his office - I told him what I wanted & what the details of an apprenticeships entailed - Liverpool Corporation did them - Huyton UDC did not - I had back then 6 CSE subjects - he was impressed - look they only pay you £3 - 50 indentured per week- { Means you are stuck on that wage for 4 years }-

I can offer you a Student Gardner's title & send you on the same exams on £ 9 .35p per week rising every year for 4 years if you pass you jump up the pay scale .... St Helens Tech day release & Preston Myerscough Horticultural college block weeks .... - all expenses paid for
Yes I would love that - I replied

On trail mind you, the nearest park to you house you can start tomorrow - anyone who bangs on my door that many times must be a good un - ,start tomorrow - on trial mind you
please give your home details to my secretary etc - the rest was history - passed all my exams with distinction got place after 3 months into the Councils Nursery ... moved on ten years later on top grade plus week end duties etc -

The Nursery Foreman made me learn a Latin plant name & the family the plant belonged to in a note book every day in the Nursery .....

The Nursery bosses were the making of me firm, but fair ....
I moved on to better higher jobs ending up in charge of two acres of glasshouses & then retired via ill health ....
