Bad Day
I'm having a bad day. It snowed here and I always miss work or come in really late on days when it snows because last year I totalled my car in the winter. Well today I decided to go in and just take it slow. I ended up sliding off the road and into a guard rail. The car is drivable but the passaenger side door won't open all the way. I made a claim and will get it fixed but I am still really upset. The past few weeks have been rough for me and then this happend!! I'm stressing out and just trying to keep my head straight but it's just hard sometimes. Anyways I thought I would come on here and vent. No one was hurt and life goes on. I'm only 27 and in a few months I am sure things will seem better but damn....
Forward we go...side by side-Rest In Peace

I'm glad no one was injured and that insurance will fix the door.

Life is life isn't it? ...but that's ok and it's no big deal.
There is always, without fail, a way to feel better and that is by helping someone else. Give it a try and don't sweat the small stuff.
A lot of people, around the world, probobly got in serious car accidents today. Be grateful and don't stay down for too long.

A few weeks ago I was trying to enter the secured gate at my office. I wasn't quite close enough to the card-reader, so I opened my door to lean further out and my foot slipped off the brake. As I tried to hit the brake I hit the gas (and the gate) by mistake.
Big dent in my bumper, which had to be replaced, and yeah, I was bummed. Big-time. Obviously, I should have put the car in "park". But I got the car fixed this weekend, got $100 off my $500 deductible by not fixing a tiny scuff around the headlamp, and it's all done. Over. History. It will probably increase my insurance premium for a bit, but not the end of the world.
I understand being bummed out, but remember in the overall scheme of things it doesn't have to be a big deal. Unless you make it one.

Sorry man. But stuff like that happens and you learn not to take it too seriously as the years go by.
A huge maple tree fell on my house earlier this week. No joke.
But it's like the Black Knight in the Holy Grail. "I've 'ad worse!"
Hang in there.

Yeah, it's a shame we still have to deal with those bad days.
But you're sober - you didn't get into a worse accident or charged with a DUI. (When all else fails, gratitude works for me!)
Hang in there - it's going to be OK!

Sorry RWS... Sounds like a crappy day. At least you weren't hurt and your car is driveable and YOUR SOBER! Good for you on not picking up. If this happened to me a few months ago I would have been "owed" a drink. I would have really drank over this. Doesn't sound like you did that and that's great! Hang in there!

Sometimes (well most always) the daily reflections and 24hr a day that CarolD posts every day really make me smile and always seem to fit in my life. This one especially
24 Hours A Day
Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may be calm and let nothing upset me. I pray that I may not let material things control me and choke out spiritual things.
