Hello, and thank-you for such a welcoming response to the idea of Simply A Moment yesterday :). Jen wondered if I would be posting a prompt as a reminder, and so here I am. There is no specific time, so there is no deadline to keep an eye on or feel anxious about. I will be picking a moment sometime today, Saturday 15th September. As my days are so fluid at present, I am not sure exactly when, so I am allowing myself plenty of room - and if you find that today doesn't work for you, another day will be just as good. I'll be here on Monday with some thoughts about how I'm putting my notes together, and plan to be finished by Wednesday; but if it takes you longer, that's fine too - we all have enough in our lives without putting ourselves under additional pressure!
I've popped some ideas onto the page below in case they're of use to you, and the downloadable pdf is here:

Wishing you a happy weekend, and a hoping you have a little space, just for a moment. See you on Monday?
Oh thank you Alexa :) I am at work for the day so I cannot decide whether to do it there or when I get home this evening but I am looking forward to it. Your prompt is great, really will help to capture the detail. Have a good day.

What wonderful inspiration - that could be my next journal page, and many more after that. Thank you!

I'm back. I had to smile - I lost my moment! Typed a comment and TSO turned on the hob which always results in our internet disappearing. So, the moment had gone..but here I am reclaiming it to cheer on your perfect plan

I've made the rough notes for a moment in time today using your pdf as a download. Now need to write it up in full. Thx Alexa :) Pxx

What a fabulous idea! I'm a little late finding out about it but shall totally join in at some point over the next few days :) Thanks for the prompt, that will be very handy!

Hi Alexa :) I read your original post from the other day and I love that you are doing this. I took Ali's class, but only wrote a couple of the prompts and wish I had done more, but I have not forgotten how moving your 9:15 post was. Thank you for the pdf. I want to give this a go.

I'm done. I actually chose the 9.15am time frame too - not that I'll necessarily do that each time, but it worked this weekend. I love the immediacy of the journaling, thanks for prompting us Alexa.

There is a journal exercise like this, where you describe the room where you are. Start with the chair you're in and let the cicle widen with light, furniture, sounds, feelings etc. It's so cool, all journaling is awesome! :-)

Oooh! I like this idea and will save the prompts for a time when I might actually spend a moment thinking rather than automating through life. Currently, the easier thing to do...
