PRAISE THE LORD!

I must admit I am having a little trouble posting these photos....just looking at them makes me a little queasy and brings back memories of my wild "ride"!  But as the old saying goes, I need to "give credit where credit is due", and that credit goes to my Lord who was there with me the whole time....wrapping me in a little cocoon of safety.

If  I knew then what I know now......how many times do we say that in our lives?  After the fact, numerous locals shared with me that due to the angle of the intersection, there is a blind spot there.  I am proof of that, as I stopped at the stop sign, and after not seeing anything coming either way, proceeded to go straight across.  The next thing I know, I am hit and my wild ride has begun!  Willie tells me that I was sent about 40-50 yards before I stopped.  After the initial impact (by the EMPTY car carrier), I went careening into a small embankment, which then sent me across the two lane road into a small ditch, where I stopped .   WHEW!!

Not the way I want to spend a day, that's for sure!!!
But to know that I escaped with a dislocated left shoulder, a crack in the head of my left humerus, and some minor scrapes and a lot less bruises than you would think.....all I can say is, "Thank you, Lord!"
