So grateful for simple things these past few days... for the kindness of a stranger who said the right words to me at the right time... for my trusty little Honda Civic, my 13-year-old workhorse that still runs great and gets me where I want to go... for having enough funds to travel to and from NYC tomorrow for my beloved writing salon and maybe some dinner or coffee afterwards... for reaching an understanding with a friend after some turbulence that's finally put my mind at ease... for a glass of nice cold iced coffee... for a soft breeze blowing on my neck... for the people in my life who mean so much to me... for the @Admin and everyone on Agnostic.com who help make this site a safe and supportive place.
From one optimist to another:
I loved my 1992 Honda Civic LX. Drove it for 16 years and over 265,000 miles. Alas, it became hard to shift into reverse.
Sold it to a Honda dealer for $1,200, holding my breath when he did a test drive. Bought a new Honda Civic LX.
My new Honda has 16" wheels, unlike the old one with 15" wheels. Gave the dealer four, studded snow tires with rims.
This car fits my little body and feels like a sports car. Or how I imagine a sports car handles.
I really enjoyed reading that.
The writing group sounds lovely.
