Get up!

It was inevitable.
I must have known deep inside that at some point in time I would eventually end up crashing into the wall.Last night was that night.The wall was not exactly what I crashed into.It was actually a tree.The result however was that I actually did crash into that wall which has been confronting me for months.It was not pretty. In fact it was painfully draining. 
In the past I have used the term catasrophise,blowing up a situation in my own mine to catastrophic proportions.Backing Susan's car into a tree, busting out the rear window and causing  over $3000 in damage was bad,not catastrophic.That's why we have insurance. My immediate response was what seemed inappropriately disproportionate.Suffice it to say, it was an ugly upsetting episode. After a short while,I regained my composure enough to reach out to the good hands people and open an accident claim.While on hold,I received an email from a dear friend.In this email,having no idea what was going on at that moment for me, she shared some news of truly life changing events in her life.Trust me, this was not one of those moments where I said to myself "well that puts things into perspective",even though looking back, my smushed up vehicle pales in comparison to her news.It was a comment she made after sharing her news..."......Just wanted u to know if we fall, we plan for the get up that, is what we do".
I read this and the pain subsided, the tears disappeared and I began making plans to "get up" which included getting the car fixed.
The freakin' wall? 
It's still there. Who cares?Somehow, the car will get fixed. Somehow we'll get past or around the wall., just as I always do. And there will be no catastrophe about it.
Fall is spelled F-A-L-L not F-A-I-L!
