I have a car and cars are blessings in general. Especially when they run well. I had been thinking lately about giving it a little more TLC since I use it all the time and it’s just getting a little run down. One day my husband brought home his new car. It was so clean and cute and frankly just exciting. I started to imagine that it was mine, and then started thinking about ways I could trade my car for his. Then I kept thinking goodness... this is his car. So I didn’t say anything. Then something happened to my car and I started to borrow his. I kept thinking “man this car is so easy to park” and “Jeez this is exactly what I need.” Then some things started to happen... The big canvas I had to bring to my client wouldn’t fit in the car. I found myself wishing it wasn’t a stick shift so early in the mornings, because frankly I don’t want to think about how I’m going to hold my coffee and focus on driving at the same time. My son had to ride in the front seat so I could transport my equipment to work and I kept worrying about the air bag. And as the week went on... I just kept missing my car. It works so well for me. It’s so comfortable. And then I was glad I didn’t make a move and try to trade it, because I don’t know if I would get it back. And now all I want to do is find the time to fix it so I can have it back.
