Falling not slipping

I promise you all, starting today I'll really believe in Karma: what you give out to the Universe, comes right back at you!!!

For many months, our team did not do anything together, we were just too busy.

Our boss scheduled lunch today, not far from the office, at a burger place.  We got seated at a booth, set up with plates and napkins for 4.  We were 5, only one of us being a normal thin person (not me).  I asked the server if we can get a chair on the aisle, but she said "no, it is a fire hazard, you'll just have to adjust", instead of giving us other options, on the patio there were round tables, or she could have used 2 tables together and make us comfortable.  I held my purse on my lap to make room for my co-workers, and kept mumbling to myself, instead of calming down and enjoy my meal. We tipped well, despite the lack of accommodation.

On our way back, I stepped on the edge of the sidewalk (towards the grass thankfully, not the road), I felt my right ankle twisting, and I knew I could not keep my balance, folded my knees, but ended up on the right knee, then the right hip.

Thankfully my bones were strong to hold my weight, I pulled myself up from my 4's!

Needless to say, I am still in pain, but I will take the lesson, and stop expecting I deserve everything...

Painful lesson of humility.
