5 Minute Friday for The Gypsy Mama
Today’s 5 Minute Friday challenge is:
Backwards
What does ‘Backwards’ bring to your mind?
This could make for a very uncomfortable five minutes because nothing comes to mind except perhaps moving backwards from my goals, which I consistently do a lot. I would count my life much more successful if I had always moved forward but then I might not have so many amusing tales to tell. My life might have been made up of controlled chuckles rather than silly outrageous laughter had I stayed on course. It is my backwardness that keeps my life interesting.
Driving backwards comes to mind but I don’t do that well. I can tell you that from experience with the odd crunch here and there.
One step forward and two back comes to mind and thank goodness I love to dance because at least then I can make my life’s struggles look like an original dance staggering here and there to my own drummer.
So now that I think of it…backwards isn’t so bad at all! There are not enough ‘google maps’ in the world to keep me moving forward!
Time’s up!

I’m absolutely with you – screw ups make for the best stories and the best laughs! And the best learning too! How boring would life be if we always did things right first time?
You are so right! and congrats again on your birthday/anniversary!!
It’s an exhausting dance sometimes, but you are right in saying that we’d probably miss out if we just barreled forward.
Yes I think it was Garth Brooks that sang, ..”we’d have missed the dance” Thanks for commenting!

Stepping back and looking forward is what comes to mind… It’s all good! 🙂
It is Elizabeth…hard sometimes but good also!
It just crossed my mind “take two steps forwards and one step back.” I prefer wonder how many times I have done this. With goals, it’s easy to step back and take a look and make new goals. Driving backwards is not something I do or have done. I don’t think I want to. LOL It’s fun to watch in movies though.
Two forward and one back would be preferable Jackie!
you always make me smile. What a great gift that is!
Thanks Joss..my goal is to be a worthwhile Crone!
indeed you ARE!
Thanks Joss!
I’m no good at driving backwards, either. I weave all over the road like a drunk when I try. hmmm Come to think of it, my forward-driving isn’t much better these days. haha
I’m visiting from The Gypsy Mama’s Five Minute Friday. Have a great weekend!
Thanks so much! I tried to click on your wordpress site to read more but the message says you have to invite me.

Love your sense of humor. Backwards? Well many things in my life seem to move backwards at a greater rate than forwards. And yes driving backwards..
Hi Judith…loved your post on Getting on a Jet Plane!
