Tomorrow will be a week exact since the car accident I was in. While I am very lucky that I was not seriously injured and have found “the bright side” of some things to look at, I have had to remind myself on multiple occ

The first picture isn’t what I had envisioned sharing with you today. I was caught mid moment of the wind blowing my hair in my face and me trying to get it out of my eyes. Normally I would have 🗑’d it BUT this blooper reminded me of som
