It might make most people be cautious or careful, but that doesn't describe me. By all rights I should have died many times over due to the foolish stunts I have pulled, but survived. I've never broken a bone or received a scratch. I did receive a few stitches when a bottle fell off a shelf and exploded behind me lodging a healthy piece of glass in my left rear calf.
While it never dawned upon me until I got much older that I began to realize that someone had to be looking over me. Because I have had some very close calls, where inches made the difference of escaping either severe injury or even death.
Thinking back makes me shudder to realize how close I came to real danger, but never really gave it much thought back at the time these events played out.
Hugs, and very glad you stayed safe. My best to your wife.
