The prompt for this week is NEW.
What's NEW in my life? Hmmm.
I've done many things this past year I swore I would never do. Some good, some bad. When I look around, I notice my surroundings haven't changed much but I see everything in a different light. What's new in my life is me.
Trouble is, I don't feel brand new, I often feel old and tired. This new me requires much maintenance and attention or she could slip back into her old ways. At times I want to turn back the clock and return to the safety of the girl I used to know but every action we take changes us and we can never go back. All I can do is move forward and accept the things I have done and the person I have become. Is this a good or a bad thing? Only time will tell.
Moving forward is our only option...one step at a time. And I can relate to the feeling 'old and tired' part! lol. Lovely read.
ReplyDeleteNice post! Move forward gracefully!
ReplyDeleteNo regrets...!
ReplyDeleteSweet One - YEah, baby steps are the way to go.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa.
Stan - True.
the new is always scary... A friend of mine once told me to fake confidence until it became a reality :)
ReplyDeleteIts great that u r not reluctant to change n ready for it. Its all mental...n it depends how strong u r thr!!
ReplyDeleteAlice - Interesting idea.
ReplyDeleteNazish - How did you become so wish for such a young man?
Change always puts u in an uncomfortable position...times teaches u all.....if i got your question right!!
ReplyDeleteYou could start walking and driving backwards everywhere. Don't know if it will work but it's worth a try!
ReplyDeleteNazish - Yes it does :)
ReplyDeleteDon't plan on going backwards Keith...onwards and upwards.
ReplyDeleteI guess being new has got to have the elastic band attached to the past, otherwise we forget where we came from.
ReplyDeletei met an old friend today and she made me feel brand new...
ReplyDeletewonder how!
Tale from the NEW side
Hey, each moment is new. Each day we renew ourselves!
ReplyDeleteravens chase out thoughts from the mind
In the words of the old Rod Stewart song- "I wish I knew then what I know now, when I got older..."
ReplyDeletechange is always hard. the easy way didn't make you happy. don't stop now. My dad had a saying "steady by jerks". sometimes progress is hard to see. god luck
ReplyDeleteWe can never know how are choices will affect our future until the future gets here - stupid paradox if you ask me, but there it is! We just do the best we can and have faith.
ReplyDeleteSo many words of wisdom. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteall we can do is go on.
ReplyDeleteIt's one step at a time. You writing reflects much of what I'm currently feeling and thoughts I'm chewing on. "New" and change is both exhilarating and terrifying lol.
