A Lesson From My Car

​Sometimes, life sends you teaching moments when you least expect it.  

It was Tuesday morning and I woke up at 5am.  I was particularly grumpy and wanted to stay in bed but talked myself into getting up.  I went about my usual routine and got ready to go to the gym.  When I went to start my car, it wouldn’t start.  I tried a few times and it still wouldn’t start.  This woke me up pretty fast.  After trying a few different things, I finally got my car to start.  Phew!  I made it to the gym and on I went with my day.

I was feeling run down that day and small things started to get the better of me.  I got irritated with others, went on social media too much and was just feeling drained.  It was the day that I decided to take my social media break to recharge.

After the decision to focus on recharging and refueling for a week, I decided to get to my to-do list...the first task, figuring out why my car wouldn’t start.  I spoke to someone about my car.  Of course, it was the battery that had trouble starting that fateful morning!

My car battery was letting me know that it too, needed recharging!  I am thankful for I received the messages that day.  You never know what life is trying to tell you until you listen carefully.
