Carpe Diem
The following thoughts about 911 were found on tumblr.com
The CEO of a company survived because his son started kindergarten.
Another man was alive because it was his turn to bring the donuts.
One woman was late because her alarm clock didn't go off on time.
Another was late because she was stuck on the New Jersey turnpike due to an auto accident.
One missed his bus.
One spilled food on her clothes and had to change.
One's car wouldn't start.
One went back to answer the telephone.
One had a child that dawdled and didn't get ready on time.
One couldn't get a taxi.
One put on a new pair of shoes that morning and developed a blister, so he stopped at a drug store to buy band aids.
Now when I am stuck in traffic, miss an elevator, or turn back to answer a ringing phone, all the little things that annoy me. I think to myself,
This is exactly where I'm meant to be at this very moment.
