I am still alive...thankfully! On December 19th, on our way to do some Christmas shopping, my best friend and I were in an accident. She was driving, and we were taking a two way road that we usually take to avoid traffic.
A truck coming from the opposite direction, driven by an impatient, teenage boy suddenly comes barrelling at us (very fast) and head on, trying to pass the car that he was following. My friend tried to avoid any collision whatsoever by taking the ditch, but lo and behold he tried to avoid us too by heading for the same ditch! We hit the rear end of his HUGE truck and lived to tell about it.
What a nightmare....ambulance, ER, x-rays and flash backs of what did happen and what could have happened. Scary, to say the least. One of my worst fears is to be killed in an automobile accident. God was watching over us that day and for that I am truly grateful. We escaped with only minor injuries.
This week I turned the big 4-0! For the longest time I have dreaded it, said I would not be able to handle the day with little more than ultimate depression, and could not even fathom being in my 40's. Now I am thankful that I am here, alive and well. And 40 years old.
