So, This Is Reverb 10: Everything's OK

The prompt

What was the best moment that could serve as proof that everything is going to be alright? And how will you incorporate that discovery into the year ahead?

My response

I've had a few of these moments this year, I'm sure of that. But when you go through some crappy stuff and manage to not lose your mind? To me, that's when you know that a) things can (and better) only go up from there and b) you're gonna be a-okay.

This crappy time actually occurred just a couple of weeks ago.

Two Saturdays ago, I got into car accident #2 in my precious semi-new car, Cordelia. That sucked.

That Tuesday, (what I like to call) "a dating situation" came to an end. That sucked.

That Thursday, I realized that a person in my life wasn't meant to be in my life "in that way." (Vague much?) That sorta sucked.

The next day -- after a mere two weeks -- I lost my job.

That sucked.

The next night, over wine and cheese, I rehashed that week's events to a girlfriend of mine.

"I...don't even know what to do. I'm so sorry!" she said to me.

But that was just the thing. I was fine. I was driving a dented car, newly single and out of work, sure; but I was alright.

And that's when I knew that this all happened at the perfect time. A new year is just around the corner.

It is amazing what can happen and at the end of the day you still say "i'm ok."
