blessings.
Reason's I'm blessed today...
my car has officially died. in the process i have experienced people coming out of the woodwork (people I love and people I don't know that well), lift up their hands to help me. Rides to work at 4 in the morning. Picking me up from the side of the highway while i was in tears of frustration -- without hesitation. dealing with my anger, accepting that it was my expression of fear, in stride. my friend Chris spent nearly the entire day yesterday with me, and most of this morning... losing sleep, getting me to and from work, running late for class getting me to my friend Erin's house. Erin... who just bought a new SUV -- her second vehicle, and without even batting her eye says "Kiffy, you're the only person not in my family I would let borrow my car. Take it until you get a new car! We'll go shopping." A guy who i don't even like that much -- and honestly haven't been all that nice to -- spent almost 3 hours in a parking lot (until it was too dark to see) working on my vehicle in the back of my Fellowship.
So. I'm shopping for a new car. Hopefully I will have one picked out soon. This whole few days of total fear has been such a beautiful lesson.
