PAY ATTENTION

The humor portion of this blog:  Are you paying attention?  For those of you who know how blessed I am, what do you see?

I live in the clouds, yep, I get it from my mother, she is the happiest woman in the world, she gets it from her mother.  For our state of mind life is just gorgeous, fabulous, fun, and no matter what happens, we just live in our happy space, or work on getting ourselves back to that happy place.

Life is not like this, and sometimes I get thrown out of my happy place, and I do not like it.  This is a public service announcement to everyone, please pass this blog on, it is so scary what could happen when we are not paying attention, what happened to me is minor, Thank God, but in one second everything could change.

I am in the process of getting new glasses, I need them for driving and to watch TV.  I see pretty well overall, things are just a bit blurrier, and I cannot read signs even in the daylight.  Yesterday I was tired, my baby has caught everyone's everything, and the sleep has been sparse.  I took my son on an hour long car ride visiting my friend for her baby shower.  Then I had a Yoga class at 8:30pm, I had fallen asleep with my baby while I was putting him to sleep, my husband woke me up at 8pm.  I got in my car at 8:20pm, my class is five minutes away.  Many of us had trouble finding parking for some reason, I tried to squeeze in to a couple of spots, but didn't want to risk hitting the car, so I kept looking.  I made a U turn really close to a car and knew I could make it and I did, but sometimes when we do things automatically that is when accidents happen.  One of my friends walked me to my car after the Yoga class, and I told her I didn't want to parallel park and hit the car, she knows my husband is a detailer, and said he could fix it.  I said, oh no, he would get very upset, he notices every scratch and fingerprint.

Then it happens, I need to park in our back spot, there are no spots on the street, there is a pole that I barely miss every time, I thought I had it and SCRATCH, I stopped right away, backed up, and then parked.  I right away told me husband, he got very upset, and I was just thinking how many people get in accidents a block away from their house, they are relaxed, it is familiar, it is automatic, and we stop paying attention.

We are looking at our phone while driving, then swerve a little, but then look again, what will make us stop.  I am guilty and I have to stop, Thank God it was just a minor scratch, this morning my husband said he could easily get it out, and I feel so grateful that it wasn't worse, and that I am OK, and my kids are OK.

To Me and To You,
PAY ATTENTION,
