Training Reveiw and Listening to Promptings--

Today was uneventful for the most part. There was another all day training up in Farmington for i-health. I drove up this morning by myself. The traffic was congested when I got just past the point of the mountain between Alpine and Draper. The cause ended up being a really messy accident with three vehicles. One was a dump truck that happened to rear-end the guy in the middle! The delay was about half an hour.

I was very thankful to have gotten to my destination in Farmington safely. I learned more by going to the class again and glad I went. The way home was typical rush hour traffic.

My evening activity was to attend traffic school in Orem. Yes, but since I had my druthers by choosing that over a ticket and fine. The class and fees cost more than a fine, but keeps my driving record clear, which is a good thing. I learned that if you drive five miles over the speed limit in a school zone, you are ticketed no matter what. I think that is the reason that two tickets I have had were for that offense. I never believed the officers at the time that told me I had been going nine miles over the limit. It just hikes up the cost of the ticket by telling the drivers that, in my opinion of course. But neither one said that rule about five miles and you can be ticketed for speeding in a school zone. Never mind that the last one I received I was doing a good deed by taking my older friend, Donaire to a dental appointment. I had the impression to go a different way than I did, but ignored it by talking to her and was distracted to follow the instinct because I turned the opposite way onto 400 East in Orem. When I got the ticket the impression came back and I learned my lesson--a costly one at that.

A valuable lesson learned here. I need to follow through with a prompting and know how much less stress it would have made the difference of having to pay out the fees and cost of the class versus none at all. What a dear price to pay for not listening! Hmmmmmmmm. Hindsight is 20-20!!!
