Take time to Smell the Roses!

Well I'm now doing the "Paper Trail" for Victims Compensation , after being hit by a car travelling at 40KM at a Pedestrian crossing..(he fled the scene).

Luckily I had no broken bones, my mothers theory is that all the years of horse riding and being thrown, I remembered to Relax Drop and Roll..
I sustained head injuries and suffer with chronic migraines, anxiety, agraphobia and traumatic stress..
all the heavy bruising i had from point of impact have disapated except for one large one on my shoulder which doesnt seem to be fading but its the psycologial effect it has impacted on mine and my families life.

What pisses me off no end is the fact that this young fella has gotten away with the crime and could well do it again and the next person wont be as lucky as me.

The ripple effect this has had since September last year has been grosely unfair,
I had to give up a managerial position,and am unable to work for a Min,of 2 years until I heal in mind and body.

I am no longer the confident go get'em get out there and do it person.
I'm currently going through intense therepy and now take medication which I hope will not be a permenant thing.I guess I'm just impatient.

3 months before the "accident "I had made a great recovery from a rare tumor in my neck and was looking fwd to returning back to work and I had then, a completely different out look on life..
then 2 days before returning to work I was hit by this fool and sent me not back to square one but to a place i really never thought I'd ever be.
thats the negative side

The possitive is..I was given a third chance at life, some dont even get one..
my garden is loving me, and is looking great.
I have a magpie and kookaburra (birds) family that visits me daily, so i'm appreciating my surroundings more.
and lastly, I have more compassion and empathy for anyone who has had a brain injury or a mental disability of any sort.

Do I see dead people now???
noooooooooooo.
the paranormal has always been an interest of mine for many many years.

What I would like to say is...
Be careful when out driving..
Take time to enjoy your life..
Dont be in such a hurry...
and dont forget to tell those around you that you love them..everyday.

Ok I'll step off my soap box..
all done..
feel better ..
