#best09: pedal to the metal
As part of the Best of 2009 Blog Challenge I’ll be blogging daily on the bests of 2009. Ho ho ho.
{December 24 Learning experience. What was a lesson you learned this year that changed you?}
When I was about 15 years old, and Dad was teaching me to drive, one thing he said has always stuck with me:
“Sometimes, in order to avoid a wreck, you need to hit the gas instead of the breaks.”
I’m not sure why this piece of information stood out so clear to me, but I’ve used it while driving many times.
This year I learned, this antidote not only applies to driving, but to getting through some tough times. This year, I learned in order to not to be crippled by indecision, fear, or heartbreak, that the best remedy was to hit the gas. And that’s just what I did.
Now, If I could just get myself to stop applying makeup while driving.
