Here I am, today on my lunch break...such a glorioussss day! I'm off to the camera store to pick up some new gear I've ordered & I'm just jumping for joy on the inside. I pick up the gear, chat with Johnny (my go-to guy) & he helps me carry it out to my truck. Well, on the way back to my truck...I slip. Not only a slight slip - but a slip you would see off of the movies. In a pile of mud. I pretty much do a backflip and land on straight my knees. Holy farkkkkkk. Ouch, That hurts. I have a huge pain tolerance, but this caused my eyes to well-up with tears and want to play dead right then & there...but then I realized I was in a parking lot and couldn't really be so dramatic. So, instead, I just try to play it cool & act like nothing happened. Bless Johnny's heart...he comes running over to me asking if I was okay...he had such a worried look on his face...God love him. Did it look as bad in person as it did in my head? Knowing me, it probably looked much worse. Anywho, Johnny helps me up and I'm limping over to the truck saying ohhh yeah I'm "fine." No worries. I mean, ever since I was little I've been taught to "walk it off" so that's what I did.
Anywho, we loaded up my gear and I hobble into the truck seriously about to cry...but instead, I decide to swallow the lump in my throat & wave at Johnny with a smile & say ill ttyl. Then, I see mud...all.over.me. From waist down. That made me cry. Seriously, what am I? 5 years old?
After sulking for nearly 2 minutes I realize what a baby I'm being and I turn off the faucet. I get back to my office and I limp in, covered in mud & thankful. I truly snapped myself back into reality when I realized I was crying over nothing. Really? I'm going to cry over mud on my jeans & a busted knee!?? GET OVER IT! There are millions of people on the planet wishing they had a pair of jeans like mine, millions of people in the hospital wishing all they had to worry about was a goose-egg on their knees, millions of people wishing they had knees to fall on...yannow? You may laugh bc that's such an outlandish thing to think...but really, it's little occurrences like that that really make me thankful for the life I'm blessed to live. Have a great day everyone :)
