Trembling

There was no where to park in the parking garage when I arrived into work, except that 'fateful spot' which brings back so many awful memories from March 25, 2009.

I was trembling as I entered the building and started my day. I could not help it.

I'm sure there are some people who do not want to me recount those memories or remember the events of that day, but unfortunately, it is part of my history now. Heck, there are certain folks to this day who have not even said, "Are you ok, honey? I'm so sorry that happened to you."

I'm ok with that and am long over it. In life, you have to roll with the punches and move on from adversity and tragedy. Everything happens for a reason and the more resilient we are, the stronger we become.

I won't lie or deny the simple fact that it was a bad event. A violation of my property & my safety and security. I will never get that peace of mind back. And unfortunately, it has put me years and years back into debt.

However, I'm glad today happened. I was over just about everything. But having to park in that same spot was just what the doctor ordered.

It's like, if you are thrown off a horse, you have to get back on. If you fall on the ski slope, you have to get back up and tackle a higher slope. If you fall off your bike, get right back on and keep peddling.


Onward and upward, my friends!

Hidden Gems stay 'hidden' this week

I'm sorry folks. I just don't have it in me.

After having my car, which was parked in the 'supposedly' secure underground parking garage, struck by a man who professed to Cleveland Police that he was high on PCP, I just don't have it in me.

After 2 appraisers from the same insurance company gave me conflicting reports on whether my 'baby' could be salvaged, but are leaning toward 'totalled,' I just don't have it in me.

After not really getting any substantial answers as to WHICH insurance company will take the lead in this investigation, I just don't have it in me.

After numerous people said, 'you won't have to pay a thing,' not realizing that I DONT HAVE ANY MONEY FOR A NEW OR USED CAR, especially after impending paycuts and furloughs, I just don't have it in me.

As the rich folks don't have a clue as to what I am going through because they are rich, and feel it's no big deal to pay cash for a new vehicle all at once or to have to start having a car payment again, I just don't have it in me.

After the suspect's costly mistake which changed my whole life, I just don't have it in me.

After my poor mother just had to get 15 or so stitches tonight in her leg after a serious accident, I just don't have it in me.

As people continue 'apologizing' for something they clearly did not do, but it's really getting old, I just don't have it in me.

As I know as clear as day I am going to get screwed somehow in this debacle because thusfar, no one has really gone to bat for me, I just don't have it in me.

As I sit here quickly jotting down my truthful, heartfelt thoughts on the verge of throwing up because of my awful headache and nauseous throat, I just don't have it in me.

Needless to say my friends and faithful followers, Hidden Gems will stay 'hidden' this week because I just don't have it in me.
