Good fortune - 29th March 2012

Life is like a box of chocolates


As Forrest Gump so eloquently put it, "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." This adequately sums up my day. It started out well enough, took a hellish turn mid morning and stayed that way until good fortune smiled on me when I least expected it. Exhausting!   
I almost caused a crash on the way home tonight by not seeing another car coming through the roundabout. I was too busy replaying the day in my head and obsessing over everything that went wrong. My inability to let go of things I can't change almost cost me my car, and maybe more. 
How ironic that an hour before I'd been joking about struggling to find something positive to blog about today. 
I think the universe may be taking my desire to find some perspective in my life a little too seriously. "Let's teach her for being an ungrateful little shit," I may have heard ringing in my ears post almost crash. Tonight I'm just so bloody grateful to be alive and not squashed in my car. Lesson learned.
