52559 Day 338

blessings_and_broken_cars


amazing the highs and lows of even one day.  this morning i discovered that some new donors have been extremely generous towards us!  fantastic news...birds were chirping, sun shinning, all right with the world.  then the rains came (literally), and the day got much darker (metaphorically...and literally).  we drove our car over to a friend's house to help paint and on the way there gauges began to act funny and lights started turning on and dials spun this way and that and when we arrived and turned the car off the darned thing would not turn back on.  so we painted for a while and tried again and it came back to life but the ride home was filled with more wild demons in the dashboard...the depths of despair, the cursing of fates, the wringing of hands.  again, this is all one day.  oh, for maturity.

Sorry about the bad news... but like the blues (which you've taught me to appreciate) this is one of your best entries! Life on this side is bitter-sweet... well done (written).
