Sometimes We Forget How Lucky We Are

Yes, situations in life have made me appreciate indoor plumbing, hot water, a full refrigerator.... this is really great stuff! Health, friends, family.... so much to be grateful for. So much!

And then here I am driving a cool, fun car..... Dang! ......What a high!

We REALLY have it good.

Thank you for the post. Boxster S Boy 34 - thank you for your service. I never thought of life without clouds, but I did live somewhere where there were no thunder storms ever and I thought it was because God hated that place as much as I. Ha ha.

I am teased incessantly by my coworkers about my Porsche. It's all in good fun though. They tease and tease but when it comes time to go out for lunch instead of calling shotgun they call "I'm riding with Tim!" They call me Hollywood which really annoys me (since it insinuates pretentiousness) but the more annoyed I get the more they tease. My favorite comment so far was "Awe, poor Tim, are your diamond shoes too tight?" in response to me complaining about some of the repair costs. They're good friends.

I got gas the other night at the only station I could find. It was full serve, and a young teenager was working. He said to me "I know you want 93, but wow, I should be paying you to get gas here!" and after asking questions while filling the tank asked: "is it okay if I hug it? it's just my dream to have one" ... I said, "sure, go ahead" and smiled as he did just that. It was just a funny moment, and like this thread, I remembered just how lucky I was to own the car.

Life is good ...

Living in SoCal, my car gets a lot less attention than it might in other areas. I've been in other parts of the country and so I know how skewed our car culture is out here in San Diego.

Therefore, it is always a pleasant surprise when I receive compliments. It's a rare event.

First of all, we are all lucky to have people who are willing to put themselves in harm's way for us. Military, fire, police etc.

I was pulling out of the garage at my work just yesterday, when a the man crossing in front gave me the big thumbs up. Not only this, but he passed, then stopped to watch me pull out and drive away. All this in the pouring rain, and him with no umbrella.

Yeah, we have it pretty good.

There's a lot more important things in life than a car, but I do like driving this one.
