Reflections of Truth

Mirror on the wall

The mirror hung on the wall. All the while staring back at everyone in the stall. Until one fateful morning. Stacy woke up feeling groggy, with puffy eyes. She rolled out of bed. Decided to take a quick shower instead. Instead of climbing back into the gnarly sheets.

Walking by the mirror it fogged. There is no steam yet, she bogged. Stacy waved her hand across the misty glass, the fog remained. Mirror, mirror who is the fairest of them all? She heard what sounded like a snicker. Startled and confused, Stacy zipped back to bed, couldn’t be any quicker.

In front of the mirror, she stood; again. Suddenly a face reflected. A face she did not recognize, so she deflected. Do I look this bad? The mirror had been laughing at me the whole time. I thought I was fine. The face which appeared, she denied. She made a quick retreat to the gnarly sheets and cried.

Reflections of Truth was written for the W3 prompt. The mirror was unassuming and a normal fixture. Nothing scary or unusual about it right? Stacy thought she was so fine and loved to look at herself in the mirror.

The mirror had other plans for her. Upon asking it who is the fairest, she was in for a shock. When the reflection did not match what Stacy envisioned, she was in a state of denial. We have to accept who we really are. The mirror humbled Stacy into seeing the real version of herself.

Taking It Light

Taking It Light

Life is good, what can be better
Relaxing, no string or tether 
The sun giving me strength
The water spreading cool
Just enough to level out the heat
Peaceful thoughts to be had at no cost
Looking up at the sky, mind getting lost
The shine of rays 
Penetrating through the leaves
Captivating movement with every breeze
Sparks of new ideas and motivation
Encapsulating every wish and dream of mine
Innermost thoughts rushing in quickly
Reminding me to just enjoy life 
and 
Take it light

Taking It Light is written for the prompt by Sadje for WDYS. The inspiration was drawn from the image below provided for this week’s prompt.

Thank you for reading! 🙏🏽

Can You Answer This? What Do You Want?

Can You Answer This? What Do You Want?

If you woke up tomorrow and could have anything you wanted; what is it that you would want? Is it a dream vacation somewhere exotic or a new house? It doesn’t hurt to imagine or play out something in our minds that we could have, if only temporarily.

If you could have a new car, what kind do you want? Or if you could have the career you wanted and have been striving for, what does that look like to you. Think about it and close your eyes. Picture it in your mind. Make it as real as only you can.

Some of us want better health. Maybe there is a problem with your health that is just nagging at you and no treatments have seemed to help. Better health can bring about happiness. You may also want a bigger bank account too. And if you had a bigger account, what would you do?

Do you want to see all your family together? What would it be like to be reunited with a loved one who has passed away. Just to be able to give your loved one a smile or a hug.

These things that we imagine and wish for can manifest in some way, shape or form. Life has a strange way of working things out for us, when we least expect it. Don’t sell yourself short and know that many things are possible.
