I'm relieved about the fact that I'm not buying lots of Christmas gifts this year. Who needs more stuff? I certainly don't.
I'd rather drive through blocks and blocks of pretty Christmas lights.
Our friends' college age daughter is living in the small adjoining house we have and she was involved in a serious car wreck Friday night. The steering locked and she flipped the car twice. Luckily it's on a pretty deserted stretch of expressway and her survival instincts took over and she got out of the seat belt and climbed out passenger side window. She got stitches for a cut on her face and a few bumps and bruises. I knew she wouldn't remember doing all of it. Adrenaline can be an amnesiac.
It just makes you think. The car is totaled and still, she survived. I'm so thankful.
Out the window: snow flurries and leaves. Hmmm.
