Just when you thought you had it all figured out...
So there I was, minding my own business, traveling down the highway, when I noticed that all the cars taking my exit were slowing down pretty drastically. Naturally I slowed down too and, being the defensive driver that I am, I also checked my rear view mirror to make sure the driver behind me was following suit. Strangely enough, he wasn’t.
I did my best to get out of his way, but there simply wasn’t enough time. By the time he realized what was happening and hit his brakes, it was too late. SMACK! Bumper met bumper, a lot of glass and plastic was shattered, and two days immediately changed direction. Just like that: no warning, no preparation, no planning, just change.
Life is full of little surprises like that, some good, some not so good, and each contains a lesson…if you look for it. I know it will come as a surprise to everyone reading this, but I’ve decided to look for the lesson in my little melodrama.
