I was oh so comfortable in my old car. It wasn't old at all...only a year old....the first new car I ever had. And now I got another car...but it just doesn't feel the same...the other car I had sparkled in the sunlight, drove like a dream=it was spectacular!!! And it was my first new car. Car shmar...why do we put so much attention on objects in this world? I would have been fine with having any kind of car, but that one...it just was beautiful in my eyes!!!---green like many fields and trees. It was so lovely! And then it felt like I lost it just as quickly as I found it...crunched in an accident. I was hoping that the car was ok, but it was more necessary that I was ok...I walked away with a sprained ankle, punch in chest by mr. airbag...and a sore wrist. I walked away ok...amazing!
Funny (as in peculiar)...how life changes u...and wakes u up even when u feel u couldn't get much more awake...
I have another car...and it is spectacular as well! But my new car mania has worn off and it feels a bit like replacing a dog or cat that ran away...it's never fully quite replaced...no matter how swiftly the replacement occurs.
I've been thinking of how my life was pre-accident. It was going good. It was busy. But I was taking on what I wanted to take on, but I really needed to take time to reflect. And did an accident have to happen to get me to meditate more? I hope not. But sometimes someone has to knock on your door to get your attention...in a major way if u're not listening enough.
