Life of a Female Chiropractor 3
I was wondering to myself, “What shall I blog about today”? The last couple weeks of my life as a female chiropractor have been quite full with the administration side of my chiropractic business, so my creative side has been put on the back burner. It is school holiday time in Perth, which means 2 weeks break for the school kids between Term 3 and 4.
My daughter was with some friends in the afternoon and needed to be picked up. On my way, I’m driving along the beautiful coast road, as the sun is getting ready to set over the ocean, and Whack! “What was that?!?!” I thought to myself. The sky is falling! Not sure, I’m driving along, and on the passenger window was an egg splattered over my window. At first, I thought I hit a bird. But the slime that was smeared was not the presentation that hitting a bird would make.
A flood of emotions came over me, startled, shocked, curious, wondering, then angry. This egg did not fly randomly out of the sky, or did it? Was the universe trying to get my attention? When I was angry I was thinking that it was probably kids with nothing better to do during their school holidays. Nothing better to do? How appalling is that? We live in a society where kids have so much, that they find throwing eggs out of bushes at oncoming traffic amusing. Good old fashioned fun is great, playing outside etc. but not when it can endanger others.
If that would have hit the window on the driver’s side, it could have caused a serious accident. I don’t feel angry anymore, I’ve learned it is best not to carry that emotion. Identify it, look at the positives and negatives and be grateful for what it is.
Grateful for an egg splattered on my car? No. Grateful for it not being worse and giving me the opportunity to remind my daughter about values and acceptable behaviour. Yes. Interestingly enough, I could think of many other great things to do with eggs, not throw them at people, places or things.
I felt the need to share this, and would love to get your feedback and your thoughts in the Comments section.
