I used to think that I was invincible. Like I was some type of bad ass and no one or nothing could ever defeat me no matter what. Yesterday, I learned that I'm no different than anyone else and I could be taken out of this world just as quick as I came into it. 
Yesterday was one of the most frightening days of my life. I was out walking and minding my own business. I took a short-cut through the woods to go to the store and wasn't expecting anyone to be creeping around but I was wrong. 
I entered the woods and when I got about half -way through, I dropped my phone. Subsequently, I picked it up off the ground and that's when I recognized a tall, thin male standing to my right side and come walking out from behind an oak tree. 
At first, my cocky attitude kicked into high-gear and the first words out of my mouth were sarcastic. I had just dropped a $300 phone, of course I was feeling a little sarcastic. 
Once this creep approached me I was in fear of the worst. I thought I was knocking on deaths door for a few seconds and that's when I said to myself "not today man."
So what happened next? I curled up my right fist and thumped the SOB. Then, I ran through the woods and out the other end like a scared little bitch. And I was. 
This incident has made me open my eyes and smell the roses. I'm a mother and I have a child that needs me and I can't even begin to fathom how difficult life would be for him if something bad happens to me. It really makes you think twice sometimes. No one is invincible. We are not exempt from death and it can happen to any one of us at any time, or place. Have an action-plan or take a self-defense class. It could save your life.
