Near Death Experience

It looks like this out there.




Not a blizzard to be certain; deceptively safe, in fact. I ended up spinning out twice this evening while picking up my mom's dog from Petsmart. Both times I did a 180 and ended up on the opposite side of the road. It first happened on Rte. 100 and, after narrowly avoiding a collision with another car, I ended up off the road stuck in a ditch; alhamdulillah, a kind soul stopped and helped me get out. The second time I was on my way back, driving like a turtle down mountain road. Without any warning whatsoever, the car began to spin until I ended up facing the opposite direction in the opposite lane. After a couple of minutes, I resumed my journey, driving like a snail the whole way home. What is really frustrating about this is that I was driving slowly and carefully, especially on the way back. I suppose I should take this as a reminder that we could leave this world at any moment, so we should always remember Allah (SWT).

I was not aware that turtles and snails drive.

I think it rained a bit after the snow that day, and temps were below freezing, making road conditions particularly treacherous. Alhamdulillah wa shukr Allah that you made it home safe.
