My Comical Relief.

Okay, so today. Wow.

I received a few painful-news phone calls this morning and so I was in need of my spiritual dosage of, well, Spirituality. So anyway. As I was crossing the parking I stepped over the parking barrier and let my heels sink into the wet grass. (Avoiding dirty heels is something I could never really manage, so giving up seemed like the only answer.) I had my sight set on the church as I walked, and when I stepped down off of the barrier, the church suddenly disappeared!

My eyes snapped on the pavement below as my body soared right to it. I swung my right arm out beside me, hoping against hope that something would be there to catch me, while my left arm clutched tightly to my scriptures. I staggered the length of the car waiting for the clash of pavement that I knew would soon follow. I heard a squeak as my palm smeared against the shiny gold car beside me. I nearly righted myself only to loose balance again and tripped the rest of the way, moving horizontally all the while, until I finally managed to get my heels in check and my body upright again. I didn't meet the pavement after all! But I was sure keyed up!

It took me a good twenty minutes to finally calm myself down. My heart was beating really fast as if I had just run a mile! Wow! I mean, here I was staring doom, gloom, and a few broken teeth in the face and I managed to weasel out of it! Wooow! That never happens to me! It's either all or nothing; either I fall or I don't' even trip, but very rarely do I "get out alive" or "win 'em by a hair". Needless to say I suppose I usually never "win". It was just a fluke that today of all days I managed to win out over my heels and remain standing.

Now, I would never classify myself as a klutz, really, just someone who isn't used to high heels I suppose. Hah. So yeah, as much as I hated to go through the experience I can honestly look back at it and think that it was funny. That was my comical relief for the day. But it sure wasn't funny when it was happening though. I mean, I didn't want the last year and a half of braces to become useless and all in a matter of seconds. And besides, I was in a skirt! ...I guess I was lucky that no one really saw me fall. At least, I don't think anyone saw me...
