I've told this story too many times to tell it all again, but I was in a car accident on Monday in the car that I've had for a total of a week and two days... it was terrifying. Enough said.
I woke up at 3:00am Tuesday morning with the sound and sort of feeling of it playing over and over in my head.
It's weird, because it felt exactly the way I imagined an accident to feel. You know those car safety commercials where they have the view from the inside of the vehicle on impact? That's exactly what it felt like! Seriously... so so so so sooo scary.
This past week has literally been the worst one of my life, there is no question about that. I'm trying to think of anything good that possibly came out of all of this and this one word just keeps running through my head:
Fragile
We are all so incredibly fragile. Life can be over at age 14 when no one is ready for you to go, or when you're old and you've lived your life.. but still no one wants to see you go. And life can also be over in the blink of an eye. Before your brain even has time to recognize what is happening your life could be over.
So make it count.
Love deeply
Don't hold grudges
Tell people when you love them
Laugh lots
Don't complain
Seriously... count your blessings when you wake up in the morning
Don't let little things bother you
Be nice
Do something different and fun
Give people hugs. You never know when it might be the last goodbye.
I'm so thankful to be alive.
