You've probably heard the saying, "If I didn't have bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all." It has certainly felt that way over the last two weeks. It started with a flash flood that came into my apartment. I then broke my 24 year streak of not causing any car accidents. Then, I got sick (hence my last post) and then, drum roll please... I scratched my cornea. This is the first day in four that I can read or type on a computer. I am a writer, blogger, and student with a Facebook habit. Not being able to read or type on the computer was torture! Now I could get lost in the "poor me"s and truthfully, I had a few of those moments but I will spare you that. Instead, in the spirit of a silver lining, and trying to see myself as the One-Eyed Man I wrote about, instead of the one-eyed crazy woman I felt like , I am counting my blessings. My house got flooded but very few things were damaged. It made me clean out a closet and stat purging, something I have talked about doing for a long time.The car accident involved me and a parked car. So there is no question who was at a fault -- the parked car! Okay... me. I backed into a parked car going about one MPH. In the realm of car accidents, this is nothing.  Even in the realm of parking lot accidents, it was not much. Now it was a brand new Lexus and the words "brand new Lexus" are never words that I like to associate with car accident, but I have insurance and the lovely Geico man said to me, three much nicer words, "there's no deductible". Hallelujah!!! More importantly, no one was hurt. It was an excellent reminder to stay focused; no matter how many places I have to go in one day, no matter how loudly my daughter is singing, and no matter how tired I am. That Lexus could have been a child so boy, do I have reasons to be thankful.Finally, my cornea! In what my husband dubbed a "Super Blonde" moment, I pulled a file folder out of a drawer, it caught for a half second and then released with a force. The corner of the folder went straight into the center of my pupil. I will spare you the words that I used but the NBC and the NFL would be arguing over who violated the FCC regulations if I were to include them in a Super Bowl Half-Time show. But I digress... I did scratch my cornea. And it hurt! (See above Super Bowl sized analogy for expletives). I could not see for two days and read for three more. But my eye did heal and I have a much better appreciation for my sight. I love these hazel eyes!So looking at the other side of the coin, I have really good luck!Do you feel lucky today?
