Life Happens

In my last blog post, I talked about some positive life updates and things I want to do with my blog going forward. Well, since I wrote that and finally posted it, I got into a car accident. Thankfully everyone is okay other than some minor neck pain, but I totaled my car... ugh. There's obviously never a good time for that to happen, but wow is this just the most terrible time. I am in my master's program for occupational therapy which means I have not been able to work as much, and I do not have very good finances at the moment for my situation. So not only am I shaken up by the whole thing, but I am also so stressed about what I am going to do now. I know everything will work out and that the most important thing is that everyone is okay and that cars are replaceable, not people- but damn.

Something that really opened my eyes was the people in my life who dropped everything to come to check on me or make it known they were here if I needed anything. Despite me being okay physically for the most part, I still had so much love and care from people in my life. Even my sweet across-the-street neighbor came to our door this morning to give me a huge hug and to pray for me and my family, with me. Despite not knowing what I am going to do from here with transportation and my current finances, knowing I have so much love around me is worth more than any dollar amount in the world.

Be there for your people. Appreciate your people. Never stop showing your people you care. You just may never know when something could happen to yourself or them. 🫶🏼
