"it is an opportunity to rebuild yourself the way you wish you had been all along." ~R.S.
Yesterday, I ventured over to the corner of the living room that had the former contents of my trunk. I stare at it on a daily basis but have avoided going over there for as long as possible. When looking in the crate that holds my emergency car supplies, I found the lunch that I had made on the day of the accident (gross! Probably going to have to recycle the container). Down in the middle of the crate, I found a red piece of plastic. It was a symbolic piece of plastic because it was formerly part of my car's right rear tail light. It must have flown into the trunk and landed in the car on impact. I stared at it for awhile and had a few flashbacks of that day. Then I decided what to do with it. The next time that I am at the craft store, I am going to buy a shadowbox for that piece of plastic and frame it with a meaningful quote. It will serve as a reminder that life doesn't always turn out the way I plan, to take things one day at a time and to treasure each moment that I have...even the bad ones.
"Life has many ways of testing a person's will, either by having nothing happen at all or by having everything happen all at once." ~P.C.
