I got my car back from the garage finally! I was grudging grateful and went to a meeting and was self centered about how it took me 11 days longer to get the car back then was expected. I was self centered to complain about it but it did feel good to "vent" I went home and was going to go out to the garage and wait for my room mate to get home so we could go grocery shopping together. I had my hand on the door to walk out into the garage when he had his hand on the door to come in and I missed getting hit in the face by less then an inch!!!! I scared the crap outta me! God was looking out for me that I didn't get hurt. We were on the way home from grocery shopping and this A$$ HOLE has a mattress on the top of his car and it blew right across my windshield of my car!!! It totally blinded us and then bounced into the street and laid flat. We could of been killed in a freak accident but again God saved us and we were able to keep driving. When I got home I hit my knees and was thanking God repeatedly for not letting me get hurt or killed!!!! I dodged a bullet or had a guardian angel looking out for me twice in just a few hours!!! I am definitely God Centered thinking of these 2 incidences-----Shook up Bunnypie

Glad you got your car back and it and you were not damaged. That must have been really scary. It is awesome to connect like that with someone. They would have me on a natural high for a couple of days.

It is hard for me some day to quiet my mind. The internal chatter seems to have a mind of it's own. The only way to find peace and quiet is to go to the God of my understanding. Water balances me. I don't have any rivers and brooks near me, so sometimes I just have to go into the shower and I say a prayer asking to be cleaned mentally and emotionally as well as the physical.

When the focus is off me, and I quit trying to play God with my life and that of others, I can find that quiet and live in it, until I forget and find myself back having to practice the slogan "Live and let live."

Thanks for your compassion. I understand what you mean by the mind and body not in harmony. I didn't sleep well at all because my mind kept replaying the near accident over & over. It was a bad case of should, woulda, coulda. The mattress flying in mid air and hitting the windshield. The whole windshield in a "white out" The mattress landing in the street behind us and blocking traffic for blocks. It was a huge mattress and about 3 feet thick so it would of been impossible to just run over it. It was a scary freak accident and I kept cursing the A$$HOLE who didn't think to tie the mattress down with rope. He not only lost his mattress but also almost caused a terrible accident. I am just so incredibly glad that I wasn't hurt and my car wasn't hurt!!!!!----Extremely Grateful Bunnypie
