I had to run to K-Mart this morning to get a few things. As I left the store, I naturally caught the light red at the exit. I was the first and only car waiting to exit the store. As the light turned green, for some reason, instead of just pulling out onto the highway, I quickly glanced both ways to be sure there wasn't any traffic. I didn't see any and pulled out onto the road. I swear, the tail end of my car hadn't even cleared the inside lane of oncoming traffic when out of the blue came this large construction-type pick up truck! 
He fly by me so fast that the wind he created shook the car!! 
He must of been doing at least 75 - 80 !!!! 
If I hadn't stopped for that instant when pulling out onto the highway, he would of nail me dead on in the driver's side door. 
At the speed he was going, there would of been little chance for my survival. Talk about having your life pass before your eyes!
Thank goodness there was no other cars exiting the store when I did!

), I woke up and couldn't fall back to sleep. All kinds of thoughts about death and how much it has affected my life kept creeping into my mind (I have lost my brother when I was 3, a son when I was 29, my mom when I was 33). I hate when things like that keep me awake.
