I am Grateful to Be Alive Today

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.
