Treasured Keepsakes release week of fun

Absent minded? Yes

In Treasured Keepsakes, Jayson is going through a bit of a midlife crisis, leaving him absent minded and accident prone. Because of this, he finds himself in several precarious situations. Have you ever had a minor injury or mishap that might have not been funny at the time but now you look back at it with a laugh? Share a funny story about a time when you felt accident prone.

Absent minded is the story of my life, but I rarely laugh about it and not much results in injury. When there is a medical required mishap, I do it well. 

Two summers ago, my husband and I enjoyed a mini-getaway where we barrowed a friend’s camper and enjoyed time near the lake. My husbandd fished and I read during the mornings and in the evenings, we shared a meal with our friends and did more of what we did in thee mornings. It was lazy and refreshing. Precisly what we needed. 

On the last day, we packed up our things and cleaned the camper. Before leaving, I went to get up into the camper to do a walk through, wanting to make sure everything was cleaned and set. Upon assension, I missed my step and went face first into the floor, sliding into the bedroom door frame with my right hand (my writing hand), thus breaking my pinky finger. And it was an ugly break, so bad that my husband even got a little green around the gills. 

I wish I could tell you that I laugh about it, but not yet. That poor little finger still isn’t like it used to be, and every so often, it sends sharp pains through my hand. However, I will always remeber the goals my husband and I set for ourselves in this new phase of life we are headed into as well as the peace and quiet we relished in. We learned that taking the time to enjoy each other’s company is more important than always being on the move and laughing about being young enough to still enjoy our time away from the family.

So, how about you? Do you have one of those moments? Feel free to share below.
