I'm feeling blessed today.
Yesterday, I met a friend for a walk in a public, well populated park in the heart of town. Then drove down the street to wait for my lift class.
Just minutes after we left the park a woman was brutally attacked just where we had walked. The police K-9 units tracked the man to the Lift Studio area and put the studio in lock-down (just after I walked into the class). I waited by myself in the parking lot for about 10 minutes before the class opened. I usually wait outside, but stayed in my car yesterday because I was hot from the walk.
The police thought he was hiding in the woods next to the studio. Armed and dangerous. Dressed in a security-like uniform.
My heart goes out to the woman attacked. The police officer said she was badly beaten, but not life threatening. She got away using Mace and screaming. I can't image how hard the emotional recovery will be for her - life changing.
Hubby brought home Mace for me yesterday.
It keeps life in perspective when you realize how quickly things can change. My mood yesterday vanished.
I hope the woman knows how many of us wish her well and admire her strength.
