09.14.09: It's Monday

This morning, as I walked out to my car, I saw that someone had hit my side mirror and broke the mirror and bent the entire mirror against the car. It was a great way to start a Monday, especially since the cost to me will be in both cash and pain in the rear section.

It got me thinking about the trickle down effects that our actions have that I rarely consider. The person will cost me $xx to have the mirror fixed, plus a trip, or two, to the dealership, time spent not getting other things done and the overall hassle factor.

Then I think where I have done something similar - less destructive - where I impacted someone's life and did not even know it. I guess that is the only lesson I can milk out of today's incident...
