A year ago today The Wife was in a bad car accident driving home from teaching, her car totalled. Bruised spleen, bruised thyroid, cracked ribs, facial injuries.I had to track her down like a news story, calling police in NJ searching for an accident when she didn't come home.

Using my reporter skills to find my wife when I knew something was wrong, but not how bad, was terrifying. I had to be professional, calling dispatchers and talking to police.
Folks on here were so supportive, helping me stay calm. My bestie came to be with me while I waited.

I am so grateful, a year later, that she recovered, that compared to what her car looked like, she had relatively minor injuries, most of all, that she is still here, that we are sharing our 20th year together. 💜🌿

My #ThursdayMotivation: gratitude.
