life as an ostovic

Although this is not a picture of my 1997 nissan sentra, it is pretty much what mine looks like now!

this past friday, about three blocks from where i am living, on my way to work I made a big mistake. The police called it “failing to yield to oncoming traffic.” I think of it more like a dumb mistake.

I admit, it was my fault. However the only explenation I have is that I am not perfect, and am prone to make mistales. (in more ways that just driving) One thing is for sure, I am so gratful for my life and that no one ws hurt. ( including the very gracious man who owned the seemingly brand new Honda acoord that i hit.)

———————————–
In the spirit of lists and bullit point outlines, here is my list of lessons learned. (OK, maybe some are lessons i should have remembered)

1. I have an amazing gracious and loving wife.

2. LIfe really is fast. I mean things can change in an instant. I was thinking that as I was sitting at my desk working only 2 hours later. It seemed so sureal then.

3. Money isn’t everything. (possesions are meaningless) And, I still have more money than the average family in this world.

4. Life is funny, as long as you are willing to not take yourself too seriously and laugh.
—————————

Well, that is all for now. I think more will come in the coming days.
I hope things are well out there in the blogger world. Drive safe! : )

ONE MORE THING: I recently won a contest on my friend josh smith’s blog. check it out by clicking here.
