Every morning, I get into my awesome Black Camry Hybrid (which we call, Blackie - Alan has a truck we named Whitie, we got the truck first...seemed appropriate to name the car Blackie)......anyway....as I pull out of my driveway, I say out loud (this is every morning!!!!) "Lord, please watch over me on my drive to work and all the crazy drivers around me - may they stay as far away from me as possible ..... and that I arrive to work safely and unharmed" - well.....the words vary daily but you get the picture!
Now, Alan disagrees with me that I am a good driver. Let's see, he has had numerous speeding tickets and 1 "fender bender" that was his fault (it made his air bags deploy too!) - me? I have a perfectly clean driving record. No blemish or anything - that's more than I can say about my personal life (ie, married 3 times....another time for those stories) or my real "face"...I do a few blemishes there too - lol
But honestly, I'm a good driver. I use my blinker, I don't tailgate, I allow people over (when they use their blinker) - my Mama always told me to be a "defensive" driver. This is what I taught Trey and Kassie as well. I do, however, tend to speed.....but you have to speed in Atlanta or you will literally be blow off the road!
I am aware of my surroundings too - which I believe helps - I have a huge fear that I am going to get side swiped, my car flips, and I'm seriously injured (or tragically killed) - I know that sounds horrible but it's true.
So, if you are driving in the Atlanta area, please be safe and aware - and pray for your safety and the safety of others....that everyone arrives at their destination in one piece.
