Got a huge reminder how material objects are not too important compared to real blessings. My faithful mini van was totaled today while I was making aleft onto a side street. Besides being wangeled, I was pushed 15 ft. sideways up onto the side walk. Drive train blasted, wheels bent, doors inoperable, windshield cracked, lenses blasted, hood, quaterpanel looking like a rippled potato chip etc. But I stepped out calm, safe and sound with no fear, shock or profound stress. The other fellow was bruised on his forearm but drove his 250 cargo van away. I only have a sore knuckle and finger. So I just want to say, be greatful for each day, try not to stress the little things in life, and try to attain a peaceful existance in the face of adversity. Or as my Sifu says Respond to life Well. Perhaps I was meant to have a new ride anyway? Also retaining full coverage even when a vehicle is paid off can be a good thing.
