Gas pains pay off

In an earlier blog I reported problems with my vehicle. Let me remark and confess - my "bad feelings" about the experience proved to be WASTED ENERGY! Everything turned out fine: the car is good to go, the station owner was true to his word, the insurance company has paid the claim. Yes, I was needlessly nervous about the cash output I made at the end of last year. It's all back in my pocket.
So the only one who needs to learn from this is ME. Some days it is OK to be a Pollyanna. My gosh, how tainted was I while a part of the corporate world? What happened to trusting people? I have got to get my groove back and go about believing more in my fellow man.
Remember the movie "Pay It Forward"? One of my corny favorites, I do recommend it highly. All it takes is one person to do a good turn for another. Now, granted, this station owner had the insurance and knew the routine, etc. All the same, the good turns were done by the people impacted by the water in their tanks; we helped each other. With any sense at all we each will go on and pay the favor forward to someone else in some other way. Give it a try and make your corner, edge, circle of the world that much better.
Go out and see "The Bucket List" in spite of the reviews. Those had to be written by people who haven't lived fully. Yes, it is predictable but that's fine. It makes smiles and tears and sense. Then, as the list says, do something for a complete stranger, just for the good of it.
Happy Wednesday!
