Now I cry
Yep, it's time to cry,..... because now you realize how precious life really is... and you aren't going to miss any of it... and that your family is rejoicing having you around...
Doesn't hurt for any of us to realize our mortality. I will admit, however, you've had more than your share...
Cry tears of joy... and then do what you do best.... SNORE.

I can only imagine the trauma of a wreck like the one you had. When I was rear-ended last year with my grandkids inside and the car was totalled, it hit me about a week later... and then I lost it. It still plagues me today when I get on the freeway.
Getting a new car is traumatic as well. I overbought (but what else is new). I was in a hurry to get something and didn't shop as well as I usually do.. and I'm paying...:)
Julia, they now call that post traumatic syndrome.... who knew?
There's a name for everything. I think it's gratitude we are alive and survived and just being a woman with a hormonal attitude!!

Julia,
My sisters and I were just talking about how we hardly cry anymore and we really should. Crying is very therapeutic. If you're physically hurting, it helps. If you're mentally hurting, it helps. If you're angry, it helps. When you've had a close call, it helps.
I was telling my girlfriend about a hurtful thing my DIL did to me. She said you need to cry the next time she does something like that. Don't be so stoic.
It's a great release, so go ahead and cry.

Julia,
Everyone said so much and it's all true. . . you experienced a great trauma and came away, from what you've stated, with a minimum of what could have been. Tears are more than expressions of grief. I am an emotional being, I cry at commericals, I even cry when I read sappy cards in a card store (which is part of the reason I stopped buying cards). . . I cry when overwhemed with joy and I've certainly wept with any of the losses in my life. I've heard it said, that "obese" people have suppressed their tears with food and now that you live a different life, you certainly are not going there. . . have a good cry and release all that pent up emotion from you experience of the other day. As the others have said and I will say it again, I'm sure your family and those whose lives you touch, after all you are a teacher, as well as all of us, are happy that you came away with relatively minor trauma and that you will live to experience more of what life can be!
Hugs, Laureen

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

wash your face and feel better. We are glad you came through with relatively few injuries.
