Today, I am reminded of the fact that our steps are ordered. I rode my bike to work for the challenge of facing the cold and continuing my journey toward fitness. When about to depart work I decide to run to the pool where my granddaughter practices so I can walk her and my wife to the car. A hand dancing class was going on after the practice and out of the blue the wife decides she wants to try it. It was only a half an hour. We danced it was not pretty and we left early. I wanted gummy bears so we stop at Branch and Penn at the CVS. I don’t want leftovers for dinner so we head to KFC. A large body Benz is blocking traffic and everyone ahead of us go around this car. The wife is driving and as she passes the Benz states that the driver may not be okay. We stop and find the driver is not conscious and not breathing. We activate EMS and begin CPR. Of all the things couples have done together this probably is not a likely activity they usually share.
I was proud of us. We don’t know if he made it as the paramedics came and took over ending with the transport to the hospital. We left our contact info with the police. So now I am wondering a couple things. Suppose I didn’t decide to run to the pool, or we didn’t stay for the hand dancing class, or me continue wanting my gummy worms, or lastly what if I was okay with the leftovers? All these steps could have changed us being present to possibly help save a life. So when you think your decisions are solely individual think of my today and know you and I are but pawns in a large game of chess. Guess who is moving the pieces?
