I am grateful to be alive!
Yesterday I was involved in a car accident.
My mother and I were returning from our monthly grocery shopping in
Grand Junction (110 miles from home), when I hit a patch of ice that sent us
head first into a house sized boulder. If the rock hadn't stopped us, I would
have been able to navigate back to the road.
I am grateful that neither
of us were seriously hurt.
I am grateful for all of the people who
stopped to help or get help. They drove for miles to get to a place where they
could call for help, being that there is no cell service or even CB reception in
the canyon.
I am grateful that my son stayed home to go to school,
rather than making the trip with us.
I am grateful for the deputy that
stayed with us until the tow truck came for the car. He drove us home later.
I am grateful for the tow truck driver who, before taking my car to the
salvage yard, brought it by my house so that we could retrieve the groceries I
had bought that day.
I am grateful for my insurance company, who will
take care of everything except the first $500.00.
I am grateful for
seatbelts. The air bags didn't work. They stayed in their hiding place.
