Hump Day Inspiration

Hump Day Inspiration

One of my goals for 2013 is to put my trust in God more and find peace with Him.  I know I worry a little to much about the minor things in life!

So this happened...

Wednesday morning on the way to work downtown I was cruising north up Savannah Highway near Carolina Bay, enjoying my coffee and listening to TJ, Gary & Rick on WEZL when BAM.  That little black car was going south (towards Main Road), lost control and came across the grass median into oncoming traffic and stopped when she ran into me.  


The Tahoe is mine (or well, actually my mother's).  Its totaled.  Mom's getting a new car.


I am ok.  Bruised and burned from the air bag and now an extremely sore neck and shoulders.  The doctor was kind enough to give me some pain meds and muscle relaxers so a 7:30 bedtime last night did a whole lotta good.


I am EXTREMELY thankful to have been driving my mom's Tahoe and not a smaller car.  They may be un-fuel efficient but sure can keep you a little more safe in a wreck.   


I can't stop thinking of how a couple more feet in either direction of the impact could have been so much worse.  Even if I am having trouble with the 'at faults' insurance and dealing with some pain this experience has made me stop and realize how great my life is and to not sweat the small stuff.  God is Good.

Thoughts

• I was at Harris Teeter earlier this week and was so excited to score this bouquet of peonies & hydrangeas.  I have them on my desk and they just make me smile!  We had very similar colored peonies on our wedding day.  

• I  guess I got my answer from last week's post and Jessica Simpson delivered her almost 10lb baby!  I actually really like the name, Maxwell Drew.  Per People.com, its a combo of her husband's middle name and her mom's maiden name.  Props to her for keeping it in the family and not choosing a fruit or country for her namesake.

• It was announced this week that the 2nd Annual Southern Ground Music & Food Festival with Zac Brown Band will be October 20-21 on Daniel Island.  Mr. R and I did not go this past year but are hoping to go this year.  We LOVE Zac Brown heard this was a blast last year.  Tickets go on sale tomorrow, May 5.

•  I am thinking of ordering this dress from JCrew Factory for a wedding in June, thoughts?

• Mother's Day is next weekend.  Got any great gift ideas for making mom feel special to share??

• I was lucky enough to visit my co-worker A and her husband C (from my post yesterday) at MUSC Children's Hospital last night.  I was even able to have a few moments with sweet Rowan.  Unfortunately Rowan had a seizure last night and then another MRI this morning showing the swelling in her brain as increased.  A&C have set up a Caringbridge website (http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/rowanrice )for their beautiful girl.  I am in awe at the strength A&C have been able to muster and know that God is helping them stay strong.  A is especially wondering if there is anyone out there who has gone through something similar.  They need all the thoughts, prayers and love they can get right now.  Thank you to those of you who are lifting them up in thought and word.
