The Cosmic Dice Keep a'Rolling

Wow, how life can turn on a dime...

I won't be posting for a day or two (at least) due to the fact that my wife got in a very severe car accident yesterday. Considering how bad it was, it's amazing that she's alive today. Got hit directly in the driver's door by another car going between 35-40 m.p.h. Hit so hard that her eyeglasses flew off her head, out the shattered window and to the ground 4 feet away from the car. The engine from the other car was halfway in her seat, squeezing her between it and the still-restrained seatbelt.

We spent almost 8 hours in the emergency room yesterday before she was released. Amazingly, she had no broken bones, internal injuries or other serious problems. She did get hurt (impact bruises, glass cuts, etc.) and will be getting around on crutches for a while to come but to say that she was lucky is an extreme understatement. I've seen many a fatal accident scene with far less vehicular damage than was involved in this one. No one was killed in the other car either, but there were injuries all around.

So, my focus will be on the wifey-on-the-mend for a good while, as it should be. And a reminder to everyone reading this, forget all the small problems and worries in life...they really don't matter in the long run...be happy...love those around you and make sure they know it...today could literally be their, or your, last day alive...
