Nothing like a long drive and time near the water to give you time to think and reflect. I just got our vehicle out of the mechanic shop yesterday, and as I’m driving down the road it is struggling and skipping. (It must be that hose the mechanic said needed changed soon). My thoughts instantly turn to the last thing my son asked me before I left to pick it up from the mechanic, “Mom, when are you going to get rid of that and get a new one?” It stung my tenacity. I don’t give up. I believe ANYTHING can be salvaged. Which is precisely why I stayed married for so long. When you invest so much into something it is difficult to give up on it. We just replaced the engine, and now we are fixing everything on the new engine that we already fixed on the old one… So this drive mixed with soothing waters has caused me to consider buying a new vehicle. 😉
