November Gratitude Challenge 2013

Today I dodged a bullet shot last night from my own gun.  Last night I was very hungry so I lit into a medium-sized bag of baby carrots and ate about a half bag full.  I woke up with pain in my gut that got worse hour by hour, and all I could think was uh oh, did my colon perforate again?  I spent the day in bed, checking my temperature at regular intervals, knowing that a fever would be my red alert to get to the E.R. fast. Finally this evening the pain subsided, and I breathed a sigh of relief and deep gratitude, not only for dodging the bullet, but for a lesson I should already have learned:  Moderation in all things, even in rabbit food.  I am no Bugs Bunny.
