We were out in the country and over an hour from the nearest decent hospital. It took 45 minutes for the ambulance to get there with my daughter lying on the ground saying she couldn't breathe. They had to fly her to the hospital in a helicopter. She had a broken wrist, broken collarbone, concussion, lung contusion, and a deep cut at the top of her ear and she had to spend 2 days in the hospital. She was very lucky because she could have been hurt a lot worse. It helped me remember how blessed I am to have healthy children and such a close family. Thanks for the giveaway.<br /><br />E.

I was bartending at the time at a corporate hotel. It was 2 weeks after 9/11 and a local radio station was hosting a 'rap against terrorism tour' with some well know rap artists at the time. One of our other bartenders was very new and another employee decided that the new guy shouldn't work the night shift because we would have been too busy and asked that I switch and work that night instead of the day shift. Long story short, I met the man who would later become my husband. Without that schedule change I would have never met him and I wouldn't have been married to him for the last 9 years.<br /><br />Now we have had our ups and downs (hubby has had 2 major open heart surgeries) but we have made it!<br /><br />mimirose41209 at hotmail dot commimirose41209https://www.blogger.com/profile/17141974788637718639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621487249055966647.post-82061197617144701642012-03-09T21:37:05.958-08:002012-03-09T21:37:05.958-08:00honestly alot shaped who i am now and where i am n...honestly alot shaped who i am now and where i am now heart break turned in to the best thing that happened to me and my b etter half we grew up and learned from the betrayl of a friend death shaped who i am in the asspects of i aprpeciate things more when my bestfriend passed forma n over dose it was a wake up callthat came and i now apperciate life more<br /><br /><br />ty for the chance<br /><br />i follow as SiNn<br /><br />mortalsinn(AT)yahoo(DOT)comSiNnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13975065072902528623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621487249055966647.post-73598697432325086902012-03-09T14:50:34.842-08:002012-03-09T14:50:34.842-08:00Hi Barbara,
Anxiety, stress and worry... They are ...Hi Barbara,<br />Anxiety, stress and worry... They are the worst. I guess everyone suffers from them at different levels, but so sorry they affected you the way they did. I try not to worry unless I have to, meaning I don't think the worst until I know it's happened. I think that helps me deal with some things. I agree about books. They are the best escape, especially a romance when you know you're going to get a happily ever after.

I couldn't seem to concentrate on getting ready for work and felt ill, couldn't catch my breath...hyperventilating. My husband took me to the Dr. and he put me on a 'stress leave' from work and gave me some anxiety and depression meds. WTF? I was always a VERY strong individual...taking care of everyone, doing whatever needed to be done...I was STRONG, independent, more than CAPABLE. I didn't have time for this...I was working 60+ hrs a week...I had stuff to do! Now wasn't the time to get sick! Work was already on my back...I didn't need to give them a reason to ride it even more. What was happening? I suffered a breakdown of course. I tried to be all things to everyone both at work and at home, friends and family too. All the while holding on to everything inside, good and bad. Doing this will cause a person to sooner or later...break. All it took was a few ill chosen words from an authority figure I sought advice from. I thought very highly of this person and was devastated when he told me I was a very negative person. It was suddenly all I heard. In everything I did...it was all I heard. Nothing I did was ever going to be good enough because...I was a negative person. I literally became ill and could not function. And eventually could not return back to work and so lost my job of 24 1/2 yrs. We had to sell our home we had just built and planned to retire in and move into a smaller home. Because it took two incomes to support it and we were now a one income family. Eight years later and I still suffer with anxiety to the point where it sometimes stops me at my front door with the stupid fear of my experiencing a panic attack beyond it. So, I stay inside. But I LOVE to read. Reading allows me to move beyond my front door to meet new people, travel to new places...where my anxiety can't touch me and panic attacks don't exist. And I don't have to work hard to please anyone. Or be sad because all the 'friends' I was there for during their moments of crisis over the years....turned out to be mere 'acquaintances' I never saw nor heard from again.<br /><br />barbbattaglia @ yahoo.comBarbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17026687148684681149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621487249055966647.post-84817950762096670892012-03-09T10:54:13.575-08:002012-03-09T10:54:13.575-08:00Hi Mel,
