amazing Chai Tea while writing this for you!I have nothing too crazy to report.
Well, that's a lie. Today, I was walking to work down St. Marie Street, crossing at the Woodland street light and a guy who was chatting on his cell phone and looking the opposite direction started creeping forward and hit me as I was walking out into the crosswalk. Mind you, he wasn't flying or going too fast, but I still fell to the ground. It hurt, but I was okay. My knee is a little sore, but other than that I'm perfectly okay.
He jumped out of his car and helped me up like a gentleman, apologizing profusely. When he was done babbling out how sorry he was and how awful he felt and making sure I was okay (WHICH I AM), I continued on my way walking the rest of the way to work. It's was a gorgeous morning/afternoon, but it cooled down a lot as the sun was setting so the walk home was a little frigid.
Life lesson of the day: Forgiveness.
I forgave the kid who was too busy talking on the phone to check the crosswalk before turning.
Second one: Luck.
That guy was lucky I was too shocked to really flip on him and start screaming.
Very nice of you to forgive him, probably made him very happy to see someone be so calm and collected about getting hit by a car. Happy because you're not suing him and what not.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I honestly could only think that I was going to be late for work. I was a couple minutes behind because of my class, but I couldn't make up for the extra fifteen. It was mostly just an inconvenience in my mind... looking back, I PROBABLY should have been more pissed off.
