This is today’s PostADay 2011 challenge topic.
Whether “everything” happens for a reason or not, I know there have been, unplanned by me, things which happened in my life and I realized for very good reasons. I wasn’t sure about writing this blog with any personal experiences. I asked for inspiration…and it came in an unexpected way.
I turned on the TV to watch the new show “Harry’s Law” with Kathy Bates playing attorney Harriet “Harry” Korn. It started with a young man who tried to commit suicide by jumping off a building and landing on “Harry”. Then she is hit by a car driven by another attorney just as she is looking at a shop where she might set up her office. The shop is in a bad area of town and the first client to walk in the door is the young man who had tried to commit suicide. He looks at Harry, and recognizes her as the woman he fell on. He had a look of surprise and joy; and told her he knew he fell on her for a reason…because she is the right person to defend him.
The attorney who accidently hit her with his car decided to help her out because he figured she needed help to get started in her new place. She told him “no.” But, he said “Yes I am. Apparently I hit you for a reason and I am going to help you.”
