Brain Drain….Sunday Edition
I hope I am not too late to the Friday Fragment party! I am not trying to be fashionably late, I promise.
I spent Thursday driving around in heavy traffic in St. Louis. My sister had a doctor’s appointment and I was her chauffeur. We had a nice day which included a little shopping-hello, cute lamp for our bedroom!-and my new favorite lunch at California Pizza Kitchen, roasted vegetable salad.
When we got home, I grabbed the laptop and headed to a board meeting. Unfortunately, I never made it. On an almost empty highway, a car pulled right out in front of me. There was only about a telephone pole distance between us and I was going probably 62 (my normal speed). No time to stop, but I slammed on my brakes and grabbed the wheel with everything in me.
Use your imagination for what happened next because I just can’t go there this morning.
| Peonies are my favorite flower. I am trying to fill my mind with pretty images to erase some others. |
After our totaled cars came to an abrupt stop next to each other in a deep ditch, we both miraculously climbed out- bruised, but basically uninjured.
I have been praising, and thinking, and fighting back tears ever since.
One thing I know for sure….life is short, people.
Do what you need to do. Don’t wait.
Hugs,
Very scary! Glad you're Okay!
Wow! I just held back in my email from telling you that I rear-ended a man this week.
Glad you were okay!!
We were also with only some paint scratches. My person is running for Congress!! Yikes!
Don't you cry now …you certainly aren't alone!
I'm so sorry about your accident, Susan. Be sure to go to the doctor if you feel any aches or pains, as they can show up later. I will say a prayer for you.
XO,
Jane
Oh, my! Thank goodness you and the other driver weren't hurt. Life can be so fragile.

So sorry about your accident. I was going to say what Jane said about going to the Dr. if you start having pain. I was in an accident, went to the Dr. for the pain and that's how they found my cancer. That was a blessing in disguise. But, anyway, pain can come days after so make sure and take care of it. Praying for you!
Make sure you get yourself checked over good….pain from an accident can show up weeks afterward.
Thanks for visiting with me.
What a miracle that you were both okay! And a good lesson for all of us.
