The Rear View Mirror

Goodbye 2017

Incoherent rambling from me. FYI- it made sense to me, at the time. . . sorta. Sunrise. . . sunset, weekdays. . . weekends. They all blend into one another now. I can't at times tell one apart from the other. Every year seems to be the same, but with a little twist here and there. A random event once or twice a year. What's strange, is that the months tend to feel long and never ending, but yet the year goes by really sudden. Happy new year! It's 2018! Day one of the new year. Sure it's a symbol of new beginnings and refound hope. Starting the new year with positivity is whats important. All the negativity from 2017 should be left behind to never be brought into 2018. Pushing forward and never looking back or doubting decisions which had to be made. Avoid the three stooges arduous form of progress by taking "one step forward, two steps back." It's all in the rear view mirror of my car. Drive forward. Look out the windshield. Keep driving. Foot on pedal. Keep driving. Drive forward. Picture- Taken/Owned by me, Plethos

Did you know the song Sunrise Sunset is from Fiddler on the Roof? I think each year has a lot of new things that happen and not always the same.

and more reason as to why one should enter a new year with positivity and desire to improve upon last year.

I was thinking of all the people battling the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, Maria and the Fires in CA and Canada @Plethos it's going to take a long time to recover from that ..... and yeah, I thank God I was safe from all that.

yup, the only reason why things dont change, is usually because the person doesnt want to change.

Yeah, you were rambling, Plethos, but we could get some sense out of it... Uhm... maybe more than we get from your usual rambles... I hope, as you drive forward, you'll be willing to stop and pick up "strangers" when you see me at the side of the road... (grinning at you!)

It's difficult to leave some baggage behind. Unfortunately.

Hi, I agree with many others here, that's a great photo. Even though I'm seeing your New Year's message on the 7th, it's not too late for me to appreciate it. In fact, I could use these positive thoughts every day.
