You know. I do believe that all things happen for a reason. Just like in your situation, several years ago, my husband and I were about to leave the house to attend a sporting event 30 minutes away. As we were leaving, I went to the bedroom mirror for a final touch up. Suddenly, I smelled something burning, like electrical wires. That peculiar smell.
I was adamant that we cancel our sporting event and call Emergency. Turns out we had an electrical shortage in our en suite bathroom. Upon inspection, the fire dept. inspectors located the burning wires in the attic in the garage.
Can you imagine what would have happened had I not gone back to our bedroom? I thank God every day for the one minute hesitation. To this day, I can remember why I thought another look at my outfit would make a difference. Come to find out, it did make a difference in whether we had a home to return to.
Thanks for sharing this. Take care.
