I’ve gotten very lucky at least 8 times in my life: When I was 12, I blindly ran across a busy road without looking for traffic At 16, a car swerved over the yellow line and hit me head on At 18, I mistakenly ran a red light, just 1/4 of a second short of being t-boned by a speeding truck
im sorry to hear you went through this and greatly appreciate your response of gratitude. I think gratitude is neutralizing, meaning it can reduce the 'suffering' in a painful situation. It seems challenging to arrive there in an authentic way if emotions run high, (to me) humility and acceptance of 'what is' aids its presence. I try to bring that into my work, also when interacting with colleagues or independent contractors (whom i rely on).

I couldn’t have said that better Sonya. Thanks for sharing!!
