This morning, I walked outside to find both of my car's were towed. I still say to no fault of my own. Our condo association switched to new stickers and for the life of me NEVER saw a notice to come get them... as well as a few others as their's were towed last night as well. I was on my way to work and in a short while, my Wife would be taking our daughter to school (there is no school bus). Long story short, I was LIVID... I am a fairly calm and cool guy I think, but I was FUMING. I started getting upset about everything. Long story short, after getting both cars back... $350 (and of course right before Christmas). My work was very understanding and put me "on call" once I got my cars so I didn't have to come in right away.
At home, I'm still fuming, feeling sorry for myself, working the budget out in my head and how much this is going to hurt... how I want to take the association to small claims court and sue them, but it's soley my word against theirs.
Then, I get a call from work, we are getting a trauma coming in and I would have that patient... a short time after I get to work the patient comes up from the ER... toddler, intubated (breathing tube) who was in a car accident with the Dad who died at the scene (and of course right before Christmas). Put my problems in perspective right away.
"God, sorry for being so short-sighted with my problems. Your grace in my life is actually overwhelming, sorry for taking it for granted. I actually have an AMAZING life for some reason, help me to always remain thankful."
