What Could have Been


Now I can talk (write, actually) about it, though I still shudder everytime it comes to mind:

I almost fell from the 7/F (I have not told anybody. Not even RSS nor GCS!)of a hotel where our business community conducted a Wellness Gathering, on Saturday. The room was packed (many wanted to see and experience the difference demonstrated!)to more than full capacity. I was in the group that was near the glass wall. Seven floors below the glass wall is the pavement. I was attending to one of the guests, whose back was towards the wall. I had to get around her so I could better attend to her. I stepped on the ledge behind her chair to get to the opposite side(remember, she was seated close to the glass wall which was covered by a ceiling-to-floor curtain)and I lost my balance! I could not remember if I grabbed the chair she sat on or the curtain, whether I fell forward or backwards! At that moment it did not even dawn on me that I almost fell with probably splinters of glass and the hot pavement below for a bed, all broken and mangled! My mind was focused on what i was to do for the first time. It was only after the Gathering that I realized I could have been history by now! I still shudder thinking about it. In the train yesterday, i shrieked softly.

Thank you, Lord, for my Guardian Angels. Thank you for their protection and guidance seven days a wwek, 24 hours a day. Thank you that you did not allow 'what-could-have-been' to happen!
