The Face of Humility
So yesterday Monika and I stayed home during the day organizing the apartment. We finished unpacking and I got my closet and draws in order. Its great this past week we've just working on getting me situated and set up. I am really thankful for Alex, Monika's younger brother; he got me my computer that I've been posting and skyping with. So then... after working at home all day we went to Robert, Monika's older brother, and his girlfriend Sabine's house warming party. There were lots of friends, food and drinks as well. We had a great time. Robert and Sabine are the hosts with the most. They really throw a great party. So on the way home, me and Monika were biking; I passed out or blacked out and fell on my bike. There is how I got to look like I do in this photo. I'm ok and not really hurt. just a scratch really. I had to get a stitch just under my eye and I have a couple of bruises. Any how the reason I decided to post this is because many times we as people can be too cocky and careless. I take this as a big lesson to be learned. I am so lucky that I didn't lose an eye or even worse. I am a humble person usually and very careful. So today I feel a bit mortal and human. Even though I know in life these things happen I will be checking my behavior better in the future so that these sought of things are avoided. I want to say thanks to Monika's brother,Sabine,Franz, and Suzette who came to the hospital with Monika. In addition I am sorry for scaring Monika. Anyone reading this make sure to not tell my grand mother. So I also try to find the comic sides to things so in parting, it only took me 4 days to almost get killed here.
