Be Careful What You Wish For

Just the other day I was asking for a break.  I wanted some time for myself, even just for a few hours.  I knew I had to schedule something but a couple weeks had past and I still had not made the time.  Well, the universe gave me that time.

I was driving home from work and stopped at a red light when suddenly, my car stopped...I tried to start the car again but it wouldn’t start.  I waited for a few minutes, in rush hour traffic, with people honking (yes, my hazards were on), tried again, and the car still would not start.  Luckily, I have CAA so I gave them a call. CAA was on their way and it would be a 45 min wait. After CAA arrived, I was towed to a garage and suddenly found myself with a couple hours to spare while I waited for someone to come pick me up.

After finding a place to eat, I realised that I was alone.  I had asked for time by myself and my wish was granted. I had to laugh as I realised the universe’s trick.  To top it off, I had been trying to get together with a friend of mine for some time and it turns out that that was the person that was available to come pick me up!

Later on, a friend asked me why I wasn’t upset that my car broke down.  I told them that I had so many things to be grateful for. I wasn’t in an accident, I did not have the baby with me, I had CAA, I realised that I have lots of help in my life and I got a few hours to myself to enjoy a hot meal.  

Moral of the story: be careful what you wish for, find the things to be grateful for and laugh at the world
