"The best gift in life is a SECOND chance"


The other day, I was driving home from work and I saw a truck that was smashed into another car.  After my wreck in February, I have always seen wrecks differently.  I have seen smashed cars, but this was the first time that I looked in the driver side window, and saw the airbag out.  I then looked at my steering wheel, and was hit by such a strong flashback.

I promised myself after that event, that I would always live life remembering that life is a gift.  I can't waste it.  I will live to say "Remember when I..." instead of "Remember when I could have..." I will do whatever I can to help those around me.  I will do my best to stay positive and embrace the life that I have been given.

I still have flashbacks, and bad dreams of the day that I totaled the white car.  But this was another reminder, that I was so very lucky in my situation, to not be hurt more than I was.

The best gift in life is a second chance.  "Life always gives you a second chance.. it's called tomorrow"
