I was told last night in chat that I had better post about a recent event in my life or there was gonna be a'whoopin'....so here goes...
I was in a car accident Tuesday night on my way home from my Mary Kay unit meeting. I was as happy as I could be because we had a little "ceremony" for me. You see, I've moved up in the company and now am what they call a Star Recruiter. We wear a Red Jacket. I was receiving my new Red Jacket and my new pin so you know I was excited. I've been wanting this for a long time and, by golly, I did it!
Coming home from the event, I was in a right turn lane waiting to turn. The car in front of me had begun to move forward out into the lane. I looked to my left to see if it was clear enough for me as well. I hear my passenger say, "Lisa!" I turn to look and the car in front of me has stopped. I hit the brakes but I was too late. CRASH! We weren't going fast enough for the airbags to deploy. I'm fine. My passenger is fine. I was more scared than anything. I really don't need this now. Let's face it. I'm unemployed. Yes, I have insurance but there's the deductible. Where will I come up with the money for this?
You see, everytime I think I get ahead there seems to be a setback. It's probably not true. But, that's how it seems. There has to be something going on in the Universe with so many people having troubles. Just read back on some of the recent threads in the past week. I, too, am feeling it in my life. Seems I've been crying since Sunday. No real reason just a feeling of sadness. Monday I had worked very hard on the painting that I was doing for the hope chest. I was to meet friends that evening for drinks/dinner. I was nervous about the painting I was doing on the chest. I wanted it to be just right. Well, it turned out quite nicely and I was proud of it. I head to the house really looking forward to the evening plans. It would cheer me up was my thought. At home I have a message that the friends can't make it and have cancelled. (Is anyone seeing a pattern here? Happy, sad, happy, sad...back and forth like a cat with a toy).
I know...I know...this will pass. I will get through this as I get through everything. Yep...got it. Just doesn't make it any easier while you're living it.
My destiny is mine and I can choose to sit and mope about or I can change my attitude. The power is mine. I'm choosing to just get on with things. I'm in a rental car (covered by the insurance) so I have transportation. The Opening Night of Hockey Season was last night and my STARS kicked butt!! I have a Master Consultant Workshop for Mary Kay on Saturday and I will be recognized on stage ftwice for moving up a level. There are good things happening here. Instead of focusing on the negative as I have been, I'm going to focus on the positive.
