Moments of Clarity

Sorry, this has nothing to do with digital design.

Ok, now I don't want anyone to get all worried, when i say "I was in a car accident yesterday". I was in the middle lane driving along, when the car in front of me slams on their breaks. I proceed to do the same but I see in my rearview mirror that the big white SUV behind me is waaaaay to close to me. Uhhhh...that's the worst, just being sandwiched in between...So, I just knew I'd get slammed into. Two hands gripping on the steering wheel, I braced myself for the impact. I thought about my husband. Fear inside me built as I thought "Oh God."

Then a dull heartstopping thud....my head flung forward....nearly hitting the steering wheel. I opened my eyes and miraculously the stinkin' car in front of me, that caused this accident -drove-off-happy-as-can-be, while I was stopped in the middle of traffic. A lot of colorful adjectives came out of my mouth and then I just sat there, hands still on the wheel, stunned.

Then a gal in green scrubs taps on my window and says, "Come look, you won't believe this, but there's no damage to your car." Maybe you can call it stupid - for not exchanging insurance info - but at that point, I just hugged the girl from sheer thankfulness to be alive and we safely went along our way.

I thanked God and my Toyota Coralla back bumper, because it could have been much worse.
