Signals

Have you ever considered yourself lucky because something delayed you?  Let me explain. I usually leave work the same time every day; I don't dawdle, because I know that five minutes can make a huge difference in commute times.  Today, I was delayed by about eight minutes.  And as I was driving home, I hit a snag in traffic.  We sat there ... and sat there ... and sat there inching our way up to the next stop light.  It took about 20 minutes to go that half mile and yes, it was frustrating to sit there and try to be patient.  By the time I got to the light, I could see it was an accident in the middle of the intersection.

But I got to thinking about it.  If I had left on time, is is possible that it might have been *me* in that accident? 

Maybe the Universe was looking out for me ......
