15 months and wham another accident

So up until last February 2011 I was on a car accident cycle of every 18 to 20 months. I have now lowered it to 15 months.

This Friday as I was driving to my friends house in Oceanside to go to Time Out For Women I was sitting in dead stop traffic. I was less than a mile away (most accidents happen close to home or your destination) and I was a little concerned that I was late due to some employee issues at work delaying my leaving the office. So as I was completely stopped in traffic I put my head down and said a little prayer. I asked that I may have patience as there was clearly an accident up the road and that while I was running late...I understood I would be more delayed and was grateful that I was not part of an accident. I also asked the people that may be involved would be safe and not harmed and then I got hit.

The driver was a young lady who got out of her car with phone in hand saying sorry I am in a rush and didn't see you stop are you ok? My respond was that my neck got jerked and I was completely stopped and reiterated what I was doing. She looked at me with a funny face...I guess praying for patience in traffic is not a common practice.

So this morning I called a claim in to her insurance company. I didn't have the right policy number and had to call her to get it. She didn't sound to happy to hear from me. She wouldn't give me her policy number as she said she didn't have it so I asked for her address. She did give that to me and that was sufficient to open a claim.

Am I discouraged? A little, I am wondering when this car accident karma is going away. I am also worried about how good her insurance company will be.

Yet I am grateful that my accident was minor compared to the truck and bicycle I saw in the accident. I still pray and hope the people in the accident are well this morning. My damage is minimal to what I had in my previous accidents and I got back in my car and drove away to a very spritually uplifting weekend.
