SLOW DOWN

SLOW DOWN and enjoy yourself a little more, don’t be so serious, life is not a race.       ~ Christiane Lemieux

What is going on these days? 

I see more and more drivers blatantly blow through traffic lights that turned red several seconds ago, other drivers recklessly swerve in and out of traffic, and still others irresponsibly speed on the roadways.

Why are we in such a hurry?

Is a life worth the few minutes we may save from speeding and being reckless? 

If you typically run late, make a point of leaving a few minutes early every time.

We often do not realize how one of these little irresponsible choices can alter someone’s life forever.

One of my first scene calls when I was part of the MedCenter Air Trauma Flight Team here in Charlotte, NC, was to a head-on collision that had occurred on a 2 lane road. 

When we landed the helicopter at the scene, we were met by one of the EMT’s already at the accident. The story we were told was that a 32 year old woman who was running late for work, chose to pass the slow moving vehicle ahead of her on a curve in the road. She hit another vehicle head on. She never made it to work. Ever again. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Yes. This is an extreme example.

Yes. I am making a point and yes, this kind of scenario happens way too often.

This week, my friends, I encourage you to SLOW DOWN, watch out for those reckless drivers, and please don’t be tempted to become one of them.

SLOW DOWN please. Life is far too precious and too fragile.

Much Love,
