Dangerous Walk Today
« on: October 21, 2010, 09:07:26 PM »
I walked for an hour today! However, during my walk, I was literally nearly killed. I was walking on the sidewalk in town near the elementary school and a UPS truck swerved suddenly. The truck was so close to me that I had to duck to avoid the large side mirror and I felt it pass just above my head. That was scary! Then, near the end of my walk, I stepped in a hole in the paved walkway along the river (in our local park) and fell to the ground completely. My right knee is skinned up kind of bad and I'm very sore all over. BUT, I walked for an hour today!

oh my goodness owensmath...wow what a close call...I hope you are alright...did that driver even stop to check on you?  Your poor knee....take a hot bath to relax your muscles and rest.  So, glad you were not seriously injured or run down.  You must have had an angel watching over you!  Congrats on your hour walk, I'd take a different, safer route! Not to make light of your near peril, just to make you laugh. ;)

Be blessed!
Peace and blessings,

Oh my God!!!... I'm so happy to hear you are alright Owensmath!  :)

We never know when our last moment on this Earth will arrive.
That's why we should live every day and every moment as if it were our last because it just might be.

May the Good Lord continue to bless and protect you!
