Slippery Path

Today I was reminded of what the term "black ice" means.

I had just turned off the Christmas lights on the outside of our house and jumped over to the walkway path that leads to our front door then...

I slipped!

My hand landed on one of Shami's fences that borders the walkway and it cut into my hand. I was lucky that was all that happened!

During the night a layer of freezing rain had coated our walkway, our driveway and all the roads. You could tell only if you looked at them from the angle that allowed the icy shine to stand out.

You know, if we are not careful we won't see the slippery path we jump on in our life's journey. And if we don't recognize it, it will lead to a dangerous encounter of your face meeting the ground!! Let's remember to watch our steps and the paths we choose to travel.

Have a Merry Christmas!!
