Waking up in the morning no one says, "I think I would like to get into a car accident today." I certainly didn't. I was so upset, humiliated, feeling dumb, feeling sorry, wishing I could go back and get a redo, thinking about how much it's going to cost me. But taking a deep breath, remembering the verse, "In everything give thanks" and getting some perspective I was able to think about all the things I can and should be thankful for.
- No one was hurt
- The 3 children that were in the car were all calm and very patient (aka no one was crying raising the stress level)
- My nephew's wife was with me, it helped to have an adult with me to keep me calm and keep my head straight
- My brother-in-law answered my phone call and gave me excellent advise
- Even though I was the one who did the rear ending, I wasn't given a ticket meaning the police thought I wasn't being a reckless driver
- God protected us, the accident could have been much MUCH worse
- The police report went as quickly and smoothly as it could go
- Nothing was too complicated (referring to the fact that I was driving my mother's car, have a Tennessee license, and having insurance coverage on a different car)
- Love and supports of my family and friends through the situation
