OK. We are 4 days post accident.
Eric and I have a zillion stories to tell from over the years, but we are still telling them together.
We are coming up on our 14th wedding anniversary this fall and we have been through a number of things that have caused other couples to throw in the towel.
As stressful as it is, we still have each other. And that is HUGE.
I am so very thankful that I have been blessed with more time with my family, that my kids are OK and that my hubby is sticking by my side through it all. Truly a blessing.
I realized yesterday that the world has not stopped spinning, we have much to be thankful for AND sharing a vehicle for now is giving us more time together (commuting)plus more time for me to rest because I can't go anywhere on the days he has the van.
"give thanks in all circumstances" 1 Thessalonians 15:18a
Not an easy thing, but boy does it help change one's point of view!
God knows best, doesn't he?
At the end of the day, it's just a car.
Currently, a hunk of metal.
No big deal in the scheme of things.
I think I was feeling overwhelmed because it was ONE MORE thing we had to deal with. One more expense, one more hassle. But that's how Satan distracts us, isn't it?
We have our 'health' - even if it is medically altered - and we have each other.
'Na Na Na Na, life goes on!'

You are so very inspirational. What a beautiful Godly attitude you have. I sure do miss you friend.
I'm not sure to what extent you know, but I think you probably know i'm more "spiritual" than religious, but it comes as no surprise to me how similar the thought process is. I don't know the bible stories well, just the basics, and I can't quote scripture, but I do feel the same way about lots of things that I occasionally see quoted. I do believe in seeing the positive in the negative. And I do believe you always have something to be thankful for. It's always hard to see that in a bad situation, but i'm fairly good at reminding myself of them...so i'm glad that you are doing the same too.
Also, I'm not sure if i've got back to you, but I did receive the books. I've marked a few pages of stuff I want to do. :) And of course i'm just waiting to treat myself to some coffee...mmmmm, peppermint mocha.
