Thankful

I am thankful for:
-          Freedom!!!  As corny as it sounds, I am glad that I am as a minority woman I am able to put my thoughts out into the universe.  How wonderful is that! In many countries I would not be able to do this.

-          The direction that my thinking seems to be moving in.  I found a church service online out of California that I just love.  More about this later.  It is all about love and acceptance.  The next time I get down to LA, I am going to make sure to go. 


-          My car isn’t overheating anymore.  A couple of weeks ago I noticed that my car was overheating.  Well I noticed that my air wasn’t staying cold after I just spend a lot on having it fixed.  I can’t be out here in this desert without AC.  So I noticed one day on my drive from the plantation that my car was indeed overheating.  I pulled over to get some coolant and let it cool down.  I got back in the car and prayed all the way to pick up my son.  I had never had this happen before and my car is old do I was praying.  I came home and started researching overheating cars while mine cooled down.  I knew enough to NOT open the radiator cover while the car was still hot.  During my research I found out about the reserve coolant area (remember this part).  So I went out to the garage when the car was cool and opened the radiator cap which was in pieces.  Ok so I figured that the pressure in the radiator was off and caused the car to overheat.  I then located the reserve coolant compartment and the top was off and the compartment was bone dry!!!  I have had my car serviced MANY times and this should have not been the case.  So I put some coolant in it and screwed the top on TIGHT. I then figured out a plan with my tight time constraints to get the radiator cap and get Ty to school on time.  I was able to get the cap and my car stopped overheating.  I am especially thankful for this.  Since I am on a major budget I research anything that is broken in my home or car first.  So I can figure out if I can fix it and/or how much it is going to cost to fix.  I have to be prepared.
I said I was going to do this every week but I missed last week due to a funky mood.  Me no likey that.  There is so much to be happy and thankful about.
