Practicing Patience and Compassion

My Beautiful car was rearended by a teen. It was my dream car and I planned on having it for another 10 years at least. I was forced to deal with the underinsured and various shops and insurances. In the end I was happy with how things turned out. Was it better? Yes. Was it difficult to wait and wonder? Absolutely. This replacement car was hand picked by me and Celia rather than my husband which was how the first one was found. I did feel like it was the one and I did get extremely happy seeing it pull up to test drive just as I did before when I drove my First Audi. I know it sounds silly, but it really does make me happy, almost as happy as the first. I feel blessed to have gone through all the hardship of waiting and wondering and dealing with banks to get the funds. I feel a tiny bit stronger for it. I also repaired some relationship with a family member and that was good too. Was it stressful? Yes, but I made it and it went better than I thought that it would. I need to remember things work out and being anxious about it isnt going to help anything. What a beautiful end to August, I can't wait to see what the next months bring.

Best Birthday Ever

Emmy and Jordon were supposed to visit me for my birthday to go see a waterfall. Jordon traded places with Joe and wow I loved having all my kids in town. I couldnt believe how happy I was on the Sunday after my birthday when we went for a ride with Spencer and all our family of origin. My mama heart could burst. I celebrated my birthday the Friday before seeing the Movie Superman, Play ing pickball with friends and picking up the kids from the airport. On Saturday we traveled to Burney Falls which was so beautiful. We were blessed with a close parking spot despite how busy it was. It was unqiue and mesmorizing. The colors of the water and spray seemed tropical. I'm soo glad we went. I loved going out to eat that night in Redding and the next day with my folks at La Huaca. To have an anniversay so close too was fun. We had a beautiful yummy cake from Nugget to commemorate the raspberry topper cake from opur first year married. I'm blessed to be loved and to enjoy my life.
