No, this is most certainly NOT about my long ago wedding night! Nor is it a new country duo.
I recently heard someone say that big things in life tend to happen quickly. It gave me pause and without much thought I tended to agree. Thinking about it further, not so much.
They say the three most stressful things you go through in life are marriage, buying a house and having a baby. All of those things — all unequivocally big — happen over time and usually with at least a moderate amount of planning. Even if the pregnancy is a surprise, there are still nine months to prepare.
Is it just the big bad things than happen fast? In my experience, serious illness and parents’ deaths happened both overnight and in an instant.
But big good things have come out of nowhere too. I found Piper, our bird, online at a bird rescue and sanctuary with one click of the mouse. Even people who consistently play the lottery win it with one ticket purchased a day or two before the drawing.
Life is made up of quick, slow, big, small, good, bad, planned, surprise moments, in any number of combinations. So I don’t think we can be so quick to make such a big statement.
