blessed.

to start things off, it has been way too long since i have written. 23 days to be exact. i have been busy enjoying my summer vacation, i forgot how amazing it is not to be in school. i have been loving every minute of my break.

blessed. i have been blessed. i have recently been reminded of this truth that i know, but far too often forget. the most recent incident that has reminded me of this truth was a car accident that i was involved in a week ago yesterday. i was hit on the 605 by a vehicle going 75 mph, it was absolutely terrifying. and to make things better, the vehicle that hit me fled the scene. perfect. however, a good samaritan saw the accident and called in the plate number, i am still waiting to hear from chp if they caught the man. there was a guardian angel on the 605 that night, i am so fortunate that neither myself or my friend charissa were hurt. it could have been worse, it could have been so much worse. i am blessed.
to make a long story short, it wasn't worth repairing my car. the damage was nearly $4000, and my car was almost ten years old, it wasn't worth repairing it. as a result of the payoff that i got from my insurance from the damages, i was able to get a new car! 2009 toyota corolla, it is absolutely perfect. i love it so much. my brother-in-law works for lexus, and really helped me and gave me direction with what i should do with the whole situation, i am so blessed to have him in my life, thank you mike!
when i first got hit i was angry. i didn't have time for that, i didn't have time to deal with all of the repercussions of a car accident. but just as he always done, HE turned a horrible situation into good, just as he promises.
i feel like i have such a horrible habit, no, i know that i have such a horrible habit of just focusing on the negative. i am realizing that i need to be changing this, that i need to embrace the area of life that i am in right now, and live it to the fullest. i have been blessed beyond imagine, and i need to remember to live my life like that daily.
