something I am grateful for today

johncomicThere was no one around when I ran that stop sign this mornin.
Not so much “grateful that there were no witnesses” (although that is a plus) but “grateful that no one got hurt”. I have no idea what was distracting me so much that I sailed right past it... I mean, I have been down that street a zillion times, it's not like the sign is a surprise. I wasn't speeding, I wasn't trying to run it, it just happened.
This is one of the most careless, stupidest things I have ever done. And part of me is also royally pissed that this act has knocked me off of my moral high horse from whence I pass judgment on all the “bad drivers” around me -- today I am one of them, and I get to rail about what a “moron behind the wheel” I am, instead. Today I have been humbled --- and I don't like it one bit.
[Which is probably why I needed it.]
