extreme home makeover show that was about a family who had lost their daughter because she was texting and driving. it was sad, well and happy as they all are. this family was really trying to make a difference and reach out to others by using themselves and their experience as an example. must be really hard to continue everyday to force an issue and at the same time not be able to forget about your loss as its right in your face all the time...
so anyway.. after watching this very touching show and thinking / feeling just sick to my stomach about this family and the negative affects driving while distracted can do to a person / family... i go to the website and read about what happened to the girl and there is a pledge you can take. the family has set up a page where you take a pledge to never text and drive... i wanted to do it... i felt like it was the right thing to do it! who would ever know if i sent one little text here and there after signing the pledge??? --- ME! i simply cannot live with myself saying that to the world and then the very next day sending a text while driving.. i mean does this include not being able to send a text while at a stop light??? --- what is the matter with me?!!? why cant i simply just sign the pledge and wait 10 minutes or whatever it is to respond.. honestly, i doubt anything i have to text someone is that important it cant wait.
i am wide awake at 12:38a thinking about this because i know it doesnt make sense. i know better.. ive been texting and looked up from my phone and had to swerve back in my lane.. ive said.. oooh that was close more times than i wish to admit. --- i defo have cut down and generally only text when im stopped for a light but still, is it that difficult? apparently i need to address this with my therapist.. adding it to the list.
