What I found most amazing through out this whole ordeal was that I didn't feel an ounce of panic at any time. I'm a firm believer that there's more good in the world than bad, and the universe confirms my belief from time to time. I have faith that everything will be fine in the end. If it is not fine than it is not the end....

Feb 18th, 2014
I was at a receiving end of random acts of kindness by a few good men. I was driving back from my yoga class and realized that I left my phone at the studio. The road was pretty empty so I thought I'd make a quick u-turn, as I was doing that my car slipped off the edge of the road and I ended up in more than a foot of snow. My car was stuck so badly that I couldn't move it forward or backward. I was thinking what I should do and just than a guy pulled up and tried to help push my car out and soon another one joined in, after a few minutes still I'm stuck and a police car drove by and said that he would send someone to help. The two men that were helping me said sorry we tried as they left. I thanked them and noticed that they were up to their knees in snow. They had really tried but the car was badly stuck, as they drove away I realized I could have asked them to use their phone. By now another gentleman pulls up and offers help, I asked to use his phone and before I could make a call a police car pulled up. He offered to call the tow company and before he could do that three guys from across the street walked over with snow shovels. They cleared out some snow from the back and than pushed from the front and in less than ten minutes my car was out. I'm so grateful to all those guys that helped me.

Wow, adventures of Jagruti continue...I'm glad you are safe!
ReplyDeleteSo, I think there's a bunch of things here. Faith is at the root of it all. It has to be appreciated and recognized. I also think we are really fortunate to be living here. Its the people that make the place right? Aren't we blessed that we are surrounded by helpful strangers most of the times? The strangers that we otherwise tell our kids not to mingle with, are the same people that sometimes can save your life. I remember being in a similar situation and the person who helped was a neighbor who I never saw before or after the situation, but I thank God for these guardian angels around us. I'm glad to be living in America. And you're right, all's well that ends well, otherwise it is not the end :).
Happy Hump Day!
Fist of all I want to say one thing here..as long as the humane remains in one self, the world would still spin around. This is why we still have rain and shine and we are still able to breath in this world. Because of people like this, we still have faith in this life. I am a firm believer of "what goes around, comes around". If we do good things, we will see good things! Whatever it is kudos to your serenity!! Incidents like this make us realize how strong we are and you indeed a champ Jagruti!
ReplyDeleteKarma! Glad you are safe.
