thankful Thursday - the car accident edition.

It's been a tough week. It started out great. Tuesday was fabulous, and I even got out of work a few minutes early.

On my way home, my car was hit by another car. Someone sped up to try and run a red light. And that other driver left the scene. Nothing like a hit-and-run to send your week spinning out of control.

Things are getting better, so I am trying to focus on everything I'm thankful for.

This week, in relation to my car accident, I'm thankful for:

--a decent car that kept me safe when another car slammed into me. (I'll be more thankful if the car can be repaired).
--that my son was not in the car with me. He was safe at daycare.
--kind bystanders and witnesses. They could have all kept on driving/walking/going their own way. More than a dozen people stopped, and most waited for the police to take their report before leaving.
--insurance.
--really great co-workers/friends who have offered to help us this week.
--even better family members who have helped us this week.
--the ability to work from home.
--my health (and my chiropractor.)
--the officer who was working this case ended up finding the driver later that night. I'm glad he was working the case and that he was angry enough to want to find the driver who did this.

Here's hoping for a good weekend - accident-free.
