Happy to be Alive!

:arrow: I'm happy to announce that I'm not dead.
I was in a fairly severe one-car accident this evening, and I didn't die. I didn't even get that badly hurt, though my car will never go forward under it's own power again. And, neither did my fiance, who happened to be at the wheel.
Now, for what it's worth, I don't blame him for what happened. He couldn't help that we were being forced out of our lane by a drifting Semi in heavy traffic. I think the guy was falling asleep at the wheel. During his evasive manuvers, we hit some ice and lost control of the car... winding up hitting a concrete divider and narrowly avoided a police car.
I'm ok. The exact condition of my back remains to be seen... but it's likely to be fixable with some physical therapy and some manipulation, at worst, and a well-timed backrub at best. Nothing I haven't seen before, and not a big deal on the grand scheme of things.
The most interesting thing about this event was that even from the moment he lost control of the car, I knew everything was going to be ok.
There were a lot of reasons why it shouldn't, but they never wound up happening, through some kind of divine intervention.
I just kept saying over and over again with utter certainty that it was going to be ok. I never once doubted these words... and I'm a freaking worry wart. If you knew me in my unedited moments, that alone is a freak occurrence worthy of esoteric bleed-over.
Who knows, maybe I just had the mojo tonight.

you can't die that easy, you'll still tell me more about crystals.. But seriously, I'm glad you're okay..
