But the optimistic pessimist prepares for the worst while hoping for the best:)

That is such an Eeyore attitude - "It'll never work..." You can't live life not acting in your best interest because of some bad thing that "might" happen. Otherwise you just sit there and never move, and nothing ever gets done.

But now here's the pessimist in me:

No matter what laws you make, people will break them. And because our judicial system caters to people who break laws, most will not be punished. And if there are no consequences for breaking a law, you might as well not have it in the first place.

So I guess resistance is futile and we might as well not worry about it.

Power with Control
You didn't understand me. I prepare for it not working, but hope it will and enjoy it when it does. I do move forward like an optimist, but I am ready in case whatever it is doesn't work out. Optimism is great, but blind optimism is foolish. How about cautious optimist, is that better?

I don't not go places because bad stuff might happen, but when I go, I keep an eye open to my surroundings, so I can be ready if it does.

Two words:

Gabrielle Giffords

Meaning you just never know and the body can bounce back from some pretty traumatic injuries. Best wishes to Maria Morgan in hopes that her body is using this nap time to regenerate and repair.

Todd Morgan was driving to work, a few minutes after his wife left for work, and he drove up upon the accident scene, he said Tuesday. He saw a small, crushed black car in the middle of the intersection and recognized it as his wife’s vehicle.

“She’s still in critical condition,” he said Tuesday morning. “She hasn’t regained consciousness.”

It is hard to imagine the feelings and emotions of pulling up to the scene and recognizing the car in the accident.

I was reading the journal at Caring Bridge this morning that she moved her leg when she heard her husband & nurse talking about her Body Pump class! :getdown: Coming from another Body Pump enthusiast, I would think that's most excellent news! :yay:

She has been moved to a specialized rehabilitative hospital in Philly, where she remains comatose, although she is showing signs of improvement.

We encourage everyone to continue praying and sending good thoughts her way for her full recovery.

Thank you for asking.

From the CB website, it appeared she was awake. I read about her sitting in a chair, being able to distinguish between two items, and a lot more.

True that.

But there is some kind of scale/measurement that labels the status of cronic head injuries (called a JFK Scale [yeah, I know]). Anyway, she's been identified as a "12", although I haven't been able to research what the scale parameters actually are, or what they mean.

Many of the movements that she's made are reflex, but her deliberate movements appear to be improving, too. This is all good news.

In My Opinion
It is not uncommon when one section of brain is damaged, another will slowly take on the functions that the damaged part can no longer handle.

Lets hope that her slow progress right now is an indication of that happening, if so, the outlook for a excellent recovery, although slow coming, is certainly within reason to hope.

I do not personally know her but for some reason I think about that particular crash a few times a week.

It just makes me think about how much your life can change in an instant.

I posted on here a while back where I was the one that was running my window washer as I came up to a light and I never saw it go red.
I was lucky, very lucky because the people in the intersection saw me coming and did everything they could to avoid my dumb ass. I almost Tee-Boned a corrolla with my 3500 dually at a fairly good speed. All I saw at the time was a child in a child seat on the passenger side back where I was heading to. If my brakes would have been just a little less than perfect, I would have hit them.

I think about that almost every time I come up to a light now. I would not want that on my mind the rest of my life or have to put a family through losing their child because I was more concerned with bird poo on my window than I was their safety.

It can happen so fast.

I had the pleasure of working with Maria for almost a year at Pres Helo. She was a wonderful person and had such a good personality. I worked with her the first year she did the fundraiser for Hospice during the Kentucky Derby. I was impressed with how she organized it. She would tell me all about how they were redoing the house and the old doors she had found for it.

Last night I cried my eyes out about her passing. I was so hopeful that she was going to pull through since she had done so well. She was a fighter.
