There are things in life that are inevitable and there are Freak Accidents. Things you cannot plan for. Things in your wildest dreams you would not have expected to happen. Tuesday my hair dresser called to say she had injured her sciatica and needed to reschedule my "do" until the next day. This woman has single handedly raised herself from age 16 until she was able to open her own beauty shop. She is now on the high end of 50.

Last year she had breast cancer, surgery and chemo without missing a "do". Yesterday she hobbled around in obvious pain and perched on one buttock on a high stool to cut,curl and color her customers. She doesn't have health insurance but a customer helped get her in a clinic whose fees are reduced.

Freak accidents can occur early in life or later. All in a heap or dribbled out. But all of us get them. And if you aren't on the receiving end this time....... life can be sweet.
