**When things don't go smoothly**

A visit to my dad ended on a happy note.

Driving home.

Need to get off with the dog.

And send an email.

And finish the lecture

Boom!

A car comes into my way from the left.

And my car doesn't stop.

It doesn't stop!

It flies!

My car drives to the right and like in a movie I see a frightened pedestrian on the right

I immediately turn the steering wheel to the left and I see a convoy of parked cars and I see how my car is going to take them all out like in a Bruce Willis movie.

And my car doesn't stop!

Why isn't it stopping??!

And I realize that my foot is locked on the gas.

It feels like hours until my brain gives the command to my foot to move to the pedal on the right

I felt like I was learning to drive and distinguishing between the pedals.

These stories about the amount of thoughts that can go through my mind in a second... are all true.

And the car pulls up to a traffic jam, I see the tree I'm about to hit and drive a few more meters... Stop.

I'm alive.

Everyone's alive.

And the first thought: Everything's fine.

Everything's fine.

Everything's fine.

The cute man who hit me is fine too.

Everyone around me is fine.

I didn't hit him.

I wasn't hurt.

I'm not hurt.

It's a piece of cake.

And then.. my body starts to flutter... like a leaf fluttering.

I've never experienced a shock in my life. And aftershock.

My body locks up and shakes at the same time.

Like some kind of bad trip in my body (I've never experienced that either)

And then an ambulance is evacuated and the police arrive...

And indeed everything's fine.

My body is in shock.

The pain from the shock in my body.

But everything's fine.

And I'm in a huge hood.

Huge.

Huge.

Life doesn't always go smoothly.

We won't always get to our destination on time.

There are slaloms along the way.

And I'm in a huge mood that I managed to brake.

On time.

And that everything is fine.

And today I am after tests at the hospital

And already at home.

And in gratitude for everything.
