Objects in the rearview mirror may appear smaller than they are

I don’t have a shrink- I’ve always wondered why they’re called shrinks- perhaps because they reduce the  monstrosity of the issues that life brings, or they shrink the potential that we all have to go insane- in any case I don’t have one but I have seriously thought about getting one. I’m not sure why I’ve thought of getting a shrink- could it be because I have many conversations with myself? or because I’m trying to meander my way through getting other’s to join me in the conversations that I often have with myself?-still I have no shrink. I have found blogging to be quite therapeutic as it has yet served as another medium that I have used to converse with myself. Recently I went through the blogs I have written so far, and regardless of the sophistication or style (who cares anyway) the content resonated with me yet again and I realized how much of what I had written that I had come to live by. Each blog is a reflection of what I was going through and as time has passed and wounds are yet healing, I know that the obstacles that once seemed insurmountable have shrunk with no shrink (I couldn’t resist).  I have come to understand that blind spots are not as dangerous in life contrary to driving lessons given by my dad. Through the curveballs that life has accurately thrown at me I am becoming accustomed to growing my own blind spots by leaving the situation to the side along with my hurt and pain - so that when I look back at the objects in the rearview mirror of my life, I experience the optical illusion that makes the circumstances seem smaller than they are.  I am still conditioning myself to make turns in life based on what the rearview mirror shows but if ever I master that skill I’ll let you know. Here’s hoping that in your travels in life you experience the optical illusion that allows you reach your destination safely and in one piece- spirit, soul and body!
