Battery Blues

My car battery died this morning. I made a lap around the neighborhood, and the last push of the gas petal got me right back into the driveway. It lasted two years more than it should have, so I can't complain. All the signs were there yesterday, so I could have prevented being car less today, but it is what it is. I think, man, what an unfortunate way to start my day today. Yet then I have to laugh because it could be worse. A man came into a store I was in and said, "My car just died. I was literally pulling in to get my car inspected, and it died, right there on the platform. How am I suppose to pass now?" At least I passed my inspection already... It can always be worse, and that's what we have to remember in every situation. One of my favorite quotes is, "If we all took our problems and put them in a pile for them to be redistributed, we would be much happier leaving with what we came with." Life is what it is... C'est la vie.
