So very, very grateful...
Aug. 16th, 2007 06:32 pmI know some folks only attribute God's existance (or however you want to identify That Which Made Everything) when either something either very very good or very very bad happens, but let me tell this; I find more proof that God/dess/es exist in the little things more than any bog showy flash of stuff.
Likewise for human kindness.
My friends, who had kind words and sympathy when I told them the car was not doing well.
My supervisor, who got up early to make sure I got into work and got home okay, and was ready to do it all over again for as many days as this took to get straightened out.
The engineers at work that gave much needed and valuable advice on how to make sure what was really wrong with the car (and an offer to come help if I couldn't get it fixed any other way).
My apartment managers who went looking for a jumper cable.
The guys at the shop next door, who were willing to check out the problem, call around to find what I needed, and would have even taken me to the store if it hadn't been illegal to leave their shop unmanned.
My supervisor's family, who was willing to ride along in the car while she took me to get what I needed, bring it back, and help to start getting it installed until the shop guys showed up to take over again and install the battery I needed for free.
And of course, the providence that made it just a battery and not an alternator that needed replacing.
I can't think of a better reason to be honestly thankful for all of that. And grateful. And appreciative of the larger forces of the universe.
