When Life Throws a Sudden Pause

Today, while tidying up the kitchen, I found myself reflecting on those unexpected moments when everything just stops—like when you freeze mid-step or lose your train of thought.
It reminded me of how sometimes life throws us these tiny pauses that feel bigger than they are.
Maybe it's a moment of hesitation before making a tough decision or simply catching your breath during busy days.
These little interruptions can be frustrating but also a chance to gather strength and clarity before moving forward again.
Anyone else ever caught themselves standing still wondering, "What now?"
