I Was Just Depressed

Author: siggy

I was just depressed.  The holidays were done.  It was January and the winter and cold were here to stay.  At least for three months.  My future prospects did not seem good.

I always wondered how it would be not to live in a temperate climate–something I have done all my life.  My nephew did his undergraduate work at Berkeley and once he had a taste of living in a climate where it does not get too cold, he wanted to go back.

I always wondered how it would be.  I have never been to California.  And never liked the cold although spring was always my favorite season.  I just wanted to get through another winter and it was just beginning and I was depressed by all that.  And did not know what to do but just to bear it and wear warmer clothing and stay in and somehow keep warm.

I almost had an accident today.  I did not see the car.  I always look both ways before I turn onto that road.  The car gave me a long beep on his horn.  I missed him by inches.  I am glad he was more alert than me.

Your life can change in a split second.  I was shook up.  Accidents always happen when you least expect them to.  This time an angel was looking out for me.
