REARVIEW MIRRORS BY GINGERZ
Looking at the rearview mirror .. it's a wonder how I got this far this year .. it was a year of change sad good and lousy ... it was a year I had to get used change... unravel myself from me ... and believe in a new tomorrow... I start the new year with a new age ... it's a focal point ... and Learning to be ok in silence .....
I realized what I wait for doesn't come ... even if I ask... that will change
I will only give my energy to those who give back ...it's lousy trying and I get nothing on return... so I am choosing sanity
Loss in so many different ways has hit me and I had to uncrunch from the pain before it consumed me ...
True reflections of souls were mirrored and I don't know if I have the energy to sustain ...
Words should be ones homour and loosing battles to win wars ...
Picture perfects are captured in a moment and it's in those moments find the happy ...
I have been blessed to be able to travel and see things and push my own limits... many times afraid of what ifs... but I didn't let it disable me ... I pushed and i did it ... slowly but I did ... I look at me at this point and I make so much shukr..
There was a time where this was all an impossible dream...
I have a focus for next year again slowly slow .....
Most grateful for knowing I can pick up the fone and the call will be answered or messages replied to ... im not an option...
Drawing barriers or making distinctions irritates me ... I refuse to live in fear to what others think of me ... keep thinking and I will do me
I'm never going to get moments back ... I can't turn back the clock or wish somethings all away ...but what I can do is accept, face it and move on...
Rearview Mirrors... use them wisely...
Sabr and shukr and remember by helping someone and being kind raises ur status ...
Another year lots of accomplishment and stumbling blocks ... I am still here ... rising out of the ashes 🤎
Your reflection is a beautiful testament to the journey of personal growth and gratitude. The way you’ve embraced both the challenges and joys of this year shows incredible resilience and a deep commitment to both yourself and those around you. It's clear that you’ve learned valuable lessons—especially the importance of health, family, and the need to protect your energy. Entering the new year with such clarity about what you want to give and receive is empowering. I truly admire your focus on prioritizing what empowers you, while letting go of what no longer serves you. May this next chapter be filled with even more peace, growth, and new connections.
ReplyDeleteGood, genuine & reflective thoughts encapsulated in this blog post from a genuine person. Good lessons to learn from & experience.

ReplyDeleteLife is so beautiful. Reading your piece is like living it with you. Tye rear view mirror is not a reflection but a lesson. Never hang onto the past. Live fir tye present and pave the path to the future. I am sure most of us who read this vlog can relate to it in some aspects of our lives.
ReplyDeleteFollowing you on ur travels and adventures from one place to another is such fun. Your carefully chosen words, descriptions, musings. Make us feel like we are on that adventure with you.
ReplyDeleteA bus station here, an airport there , a train there. From rivers to seas and sunrises to sunsets. Mmmmmm
Breakfast here lunch there, tea on the boat.
Hectic yet strangely calming. But as strange as it may sound we can "hear" the fun.
And then like it never happened.......u teaching your kids. Calmly rushed and slightly hectic again.
Sadness cannot be avoided. It's there. It follows us. For some it's a part of life.
But it brings a kinda reality check. A reminder every now and again.
Grandchildren are a blessing, A gift from Allah.
Precious little angels, to cherish and to love.
Handfuls of joy and happiness. They are our rewards from Allah. Hearts full of love. The most some people see in most of our lives.
Be you, have fun. Enjoy .
