Excellent A woman's journey through life. Rearview Mirror by Sandy P.

Steamy Summer days, childhood’s magical moments, steeped in nostalgia -- heady scents of salt water and suntan lotions, squishy, wet sand between toes. A glorious innocence, infinite possibilities, until dark clouds gather, sun fades behind hazy skies - in her rearview mirror. On the brink of full-grown, body changes, features define. She blossoms, like a brilliant flash of floral splendor Mother Nature’s Spring brings. Soon warm winds will blow cooler, ready  her for lifes’ next chapter. Crystal-clear vision blurs, she strains a bit to focus - in her rearview mirror. Middle ages bring crisp, sun-lit days ablaze in swirling dances of red and gold leaves. Fall’s arrival is bold, takes its toll. Chaotic juggling of family, career, health, money worries, and loss. Still, she learns to love the skin she’s in. A quick glance reveals the face of a serene woman of substance, smiling back - from her rearview mirror. In the bleak shiver of Winter, she faces challenges. Footsteps slow, body grows weary, joints brittle as frozen branches on leafless trees. She pushes on,   embraces the future, relishes remarkable moments -- sweet sounds of a grandchild’s laugh, warm hugs, feeling loved, relevant, vital.  All the while, timeless memories play out - in her rearview mirror.
