Could've got hurt bad

Woburn MA

Description

Minor (to some) miracle, MAJOR to me A fall at my age can be a really big deal, never mind one in the DARK, FACE_FIRST down CONCRETE stairs. I tripped over a box in the dark and went down. As I went past horizontal, facefirst in the dark right at a cinderblock retaining wall: it was as though I were caught and held in midair, with time -- and guidance -- to get my hands onto steps I could not see. Could have split my face/head open, broken bones (again), punctured a lung (again), but I escaped with only a barked-up shin (from the box I tripped over). I am sure that the evangelical atheists of CL will delete this just as quick as they can, but I had to say, publicly, Thank You God for sparing me a whole lot of pain and loss and worse. BTW, I'm the dope who left the box there and I'm the one who didn't need to turn on the light. Nobody's fault but mine, and my being saved from that fall was well beyond my control. I am grateful.
