I often think of how close we come, all the time, to grievous bodily harm...

So glad to hear you were okay, but I don't think it's something you ever get completely over.

I consider it a blessing that I was walking one moment, staring up at the stars from the asphalt the next, and have no memory of what happened in between.

I am very thankful I work at home so I'm spared the commute on the Southern California freeways; it truly is a jungle out there and people seem to be less careful with their driving, not stopping at stop signs but rolling through them, going through red lights, etc. <br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3986768514143017523.post-80635927117097579012012-11-21T17:38:38.332-08:002012-11-21T17:38:38.332-08:00I'm so sorry.

Sorry I had to pass this post by. But, it's a reflection of your words that you invoked such emotion in me so promptly.
