Tiny Moment Tuesday

April 10, 2018 By Carole

Yesterday I was sworn in as the 4th woman to serve on the Board of Selectmen in my town. It was a tiny moment, for sure, lasting only about 30 seconds. But it was witnessed by my husband, my best friend, my sister-in-law and my new friends that serve on other boards in town.

I guess what I’m saying is, even though it was a tiny moment, it was also momentous.

    I think any time we stand up in public and make a promise to others is an important moment. We are stating our commitment to serve others, which requires both support and constructive accountability. Wishing you both in this new adventure.

    Perhaps a tiny moment in terms of seconds, but I bet it’s much larger in terms of what happens going forth from that moment. I wish you and your town well!

    Life’s a succession of tiny moments and their impact is based on the choices you make in that moment. The citizens of East Bridgewater have chosen wisely! Congratulations Carole for stepping out of the boat and getting into the deep water! Well done!

If there’s anything I’ve learned in my 55 years, it’s that facing forward is the best way to live. All the things in life, good or bad, can be resolved this way, our problems only multiple if we try to skirt around them. True satisfaction comes from looking life right in the eye, doing your best, and finding the joy. #aepiecesofus #thisismyface #faceforward
