Near Death Experience

The saying "His life flashed before his eyes" has always sounded a little contrived to me. Until yesterday that is. As the light turned green on Douglas and Saanich roads and I began to make my turn, out of the corner of my eye I saw a flash and hammered on my brakes. A pickup truck traveling at around 80 miles an hour (Yes, 80!!) came through the intersection broadside, and missed my van by less than a foot. My life did literally pass before my eyes. If I would not have stopped there is no doubt in my mind that I most likely would have died. It was scary at the time, but as the day progressed it made me more appreciative of what I have. A cosmic "attitude adjustment", whatever you want to call it, has left me feeling quite upbeat LOL. Sometimes we all need to be reminded that what we have here is a special gift and we should do our best to see each day as the blessing it truly is.

See you when I see you.
