Beat up but still going.

Thanks everyone for your support and thoughts. When an incident such as hitting a deer or any other type of car issues become magnified without a father in the picture......... I have a meltdown. Austin is fine thankfully, and crazy thing is, the car is up and running again smile emoticon

This little 2003 Toyota Corolla, with over 234K miles on it, has served us so well. It was the car my daughter used for years and is now passed down to her younger brother. It has taken us to the emergency room and back home, 4+ years ago, and all the way across the country and home.

In looking at it, it is definitely a beater. Beat up, the wear and tear is showing, but it still runs. As silly as it sounds, I see a metaphor for our lives........ with a new radiator put in, banging out of the hood and no grill in the front, it is up and running again. Thankful and trusting God.... again.

i am fortunate enough to have a man in my life who knows a bit about mechanics and mechanical issues smile emoticon He offered to help and knew I needed to lean on him. He worked with Austin to fix it up Sunday afternoon and it was good to go smile emoticon The boys can use a man around.......

As I work on my personal life at age 47, I feel a bit like our Toyota.... but I still keep moving. A loving relationship is ever growing, always learning about one another, and seeing the possibilities, even though we feel a bit beat up and wore out at times, lol.

I may have met my match.........
