"Thought For the Day"

[AluraMist]

"You are not the Boss of me", I say,
as I let the dog in and out, 17 times in a row.

Yes, it is true. They are just "things", but I do have "memories" attached that I won't let go, like Van shared. They make me smile. I have one very special story that I keep retelling to my family. I have to share it, but that is for another day.

The only thing that I kept is two photos that I took of it, just before it was towed away.

After all these years, it still runs good, but I told my family that I will no longer be driving. We usually donate our old cars to Amvets. But first, we ask if any family member needs a car. Turns out that a family member just totalled their car in an accident with a deer crossing the road. To avoid hitting the deer, she swerved, lost control of her car, and ending up hitting a tree. She is fine, and so is the deer. She is a single parent, with a 3 year old son, and she is 4 months pregnant. She had no means of transportation, to come and pick up the car, and I cannot drive, so we had the car towed to her home for her.

Can you see our Higher Powers at work here? So that's another positive memory that I will have too. Life is good.

Such a good memory that will be too. That is very generous of you, I hope she appreciated the gesture.

WOW! I am so glad everyone is safe! We have deer here, lots of them especially during deer season. The locals all say the same thing though that is better to brace your self and hit the deer if you can't safely avoid it...bit I can't do that to Bambi.

Donating an old car (Or any used items for that fact) to a charity is wonderful! Even cars that don't run anymore can help as they can turn it in for the value of the scrap. I have, over the years, donated a couple of them to local Veteran programs as well, and everything else goes to Goodwill.

Just a note for our newer members: It is sharing thoughts, feelings and stories like this one by @AluraMist that make Central so great. Yes, we come here because of the game BUT we stay because of the "family" that has been created here over so many years. The best way to improve teamwork is by knowing your teem mates.

Hugs,

I haven't noticed, but I'll keep my ear to the ground.

That sign made me think about the sign at the end of my road that nobody ever notices, says "Not a GPS Route". There have been many tractor drivers made the mistake of not looking at it, go past my house down a very steep hill (we used to sled ride on it in the winter because cars couldn't go up or down) only to find a one lane bridge and tunnel at the bottom and no turnaround. That sign was worth noticing, but they still don't.

Ok, it’s almost 2pm and I still don’t get it. I’ve had my 2 cups of coffee, so that’s not the problem.
I’m just not noticing anything.

After talking to yourself this way will you wag your tail and want your ears scratched?
