[Kenna]

I never thought I'd feel like I truly had a guardian angel on the day when I was pregnant and had just got up for a nap seconds before a 40 pound CHUNK of old plaster ceiling came crashing down through the drop ceiling, hitting the bed where my head had been just before. (that thing would have killed me and the baby!)

in 1996, I never thought I could be so thankful for moving out of a house that nearly killed me and my son after we discovered the kitchen stove had been leaking gas for 3 months and the reason we slept all the time and were sick all the time was from carbon monoxide poisoning.

I never thought I'd work in a brand new warehouse during the 1996 spring thaw when the roof started to give way and leak like Niagara Falls...

I never thought I'd be working in the trailers that day when HUGE sheets of ice fell off said warehouse and crashed onto the trailers, splitting the roofs and causing huge leaks. (I was IN those trailers when thousands of pounds of ice and freezing water came crashing down....I get picked on to this day about not liking water in my face...the only thing that kept me from being crushed or sliced by ice was the support beams on the trailer roofs.)

I never thought I'd be sitting calmly in a Training Facility one day when a car CRASHED through the window and brick wall behind me. (yep, that one coulda killed me too!)

(at my last job in PA) I never thought I'd have such luck when I had JUST got up from my chair seconds before HUGE chunks of the ceiling, saturated insulation and a flood of water came crashing down on MY chair.

This past summer, I never thought I'd let ANYONE stuff me under the crawl space of a house (with all those DAMN spiders) to fix the broken plumbing pipes that busted right off at the outdoor water faucet.

I never thought I'd walk into my office this morning to find the ceiling above my cubical (and the others in my office) saturated with water damage, yellow "caution tape" hanging all over the ceiling and lights and water buckets above the drop ceiling tiles. Today when I left, I tucked away all my personal belongings, moved my chair and made sure nothing electrical was plugged in...

Yep!! I never truly thought I had a guardian angel, until I thought about it today.

I never thought I'd be counting my blessings this way. Today I feel I need to count my blessings.


There were many times, some not described above, I never thought I'd survive or make it though the day.

There are times, today was one of them, that I HAVE thought of the humor in how things have happened or how they worked out. However, I never thought I'd be wanting to find a way to make BIG Money on writing a Blog about the events described above, and then some.
