Alisha,
I had a car accident like yours last year and I have truly taken everything into perspective since then. My car spun on the highway, through traffic in a pouring rainstorm, hit no one, and crashed into the guardrail. My daughter and I both walked away injury-free.
I always remember that when someone is rude or inconsiderate, it is THEM, not me. Life is way too short, and there are too many blessings to not appreciate the little things. Like being able to work out and enjoy a trip to the market!

I enjoyed reading all of these post here. I'm an impatient person WITHOUT A DOUBT. Always moving as fast as I can. Unfortunately, I now have a speeding ticket to prove it. Gotta slow down. What slows me down:
I love elderly people in stores. I'm the one with 1 to 3 children racing through at light speed because I have somewhere to be, or I know that if I slow down the crazy little larks in my cart will try to climb out. They are screaming, crying, giggling, driving my cart way too fast (they're good kids, I promise, but kids no less). Anyways my mind and body are moving a mile a minute... UNTIL I see an elderly person fondly looking at me. I know they are recalling their own crazy days. And sometimes they even speak to me saying something about "enjoy these days, they don't last forever." I like hearing that, because it reminds me to take a breath and appreciate my insanity and how full my life is right now.
