Accepting where I am
Permalink  
 


Well, lucky me...I was in an accident yesterday and thank God no one was hurt! It was my fault, wet roads and perhaps (lol) I wasnt paying attention for a moment???????
Yes Im upset, money out the pocket I dont really want to spend on that sort of thing, but....
What a great feeling to know...I was in an accident, no one hurt!
Police came and I had no fear in regards to getting a DWI!!!!
I didnt even think of taking a drink!

I remember the old days and the grief and despair I would have thinking..."I am in so much trouble!!!" What am I going to do!!!!!

Today, its not the end of the world. I'll deal with it, pay my deductible, go to court....I was sited!!! Yuck! But its ok today!!! Feels kinda good not to be loaded with fear!!! Still p.o.'d, dont get me wrong, but it really is ok! Wow!

yup, sobriety makes for now handling life's little crises with grace, and calm. Terrific that you were not injured, nor anyone else, and that you have the tools to handle this today, WITHOUT handcuffs!! What a belssing!!!

LOL@Phil. I love the intrepidation of your little fella there watching the cars go by in case one of them is Lani!!!!! I'm glad it turned out ok, Laurie x Money stings like that arn't any fun. I lost my passport on the way home from France which will cost £85 to replace & it had my train ticket in which I had to repay for to the tune of £50 so a total of £135 but today I can appreciate that tis 'only' money & nothing worse than that happened ~ Phew! No plane, train or car crashes & I got home safe. I am grateful ;) Daniella x
