The other day when I was in the shower the light in the bathroom flickered off and then back on again, as if someone had reached inside the door and turned the light switch off and then on again. I was certain I had locked the door so I quickly peeked out of the shower to be certain the door was closed and it was .
About a minute later the light flickered off and then back on again. Again I peeked out of the shower to make sure the door it was still shut and it was. I realized it must have been the power and I chuckled at my thinking someone had been playing a trick on me.
I thought about how the flickering light was similar to the warning you get at a show with an intermission, to let you know the intermission is over and the show is about to begin again. The lights are briefly dimmed to get your attention.
That got me thinking about things that happen in our lives to get our attention. Often these things are unpleasant, such as a loss or a near miss, or witnessing someone else experience these.
I've experienced a few of these "Got Your Attention?" wake-up calls. The important thing is to recognize them and figure out what you changes you need to make in your life. Then make those changes!
