Control

I was driving east on a busy road today enjoying conversation with my grandson when the west bound vehicle heading toward us, careened out of control.  For a second, I thought the car was going to skid across the pavement and take us out. I believe it would have except the driver over corrected, yanking the steering wheel in the opposite direction causing his car to flip.  The point I want to make is that within that instant, I knew I was not in control of what was going to happen.  Life can change or end two miles from your home - the event can have nothing to with me or what I have done ... I just happened to be on the highway.  Once I saw that the driver and passenger escaped; I was relieved for all of us.

I can tell you this: dinner tasted especially good tonight, outside the heat is not worth complaining about, and sharing the evening with someone I love has renewed meaning.
