The mechanic did not mince words.
"Your front tires are bald," he said.
And so I was spending some time at my computer - googling - tires. I was actually spending more time that I wanted googling tires.And I kept thinking - for crying out loud.
GRRRR
And then out of the corner of my eye, I saw him (or her).
It was a Robin.
Full disclosure - I had to google the word Robin to be sure. That was only after I noticed that it had a red breast.
As I watched the bird move from branch to branch I suddenly remembered a poem my daddy used to love to quote to me:

And so I was spending some time at my computer - googling - tires. I was actually spending more time that I wanted googling tires.And I kept thinking - for crying out loud.
This was after reconciling my checkbook and seeing how much money I have spent on my vehicle already this year. GRRRR
Besides that - tires are not fun. Necessary yes, but certainly not as much fun as a new outfit (or two) or a trip or well - I bet you can think of things you would rather have than tires.

As I watched the bird move from branch to branch I suddenly remembered a poem my daddy used to love to quote to me:
" Said the Robin to the Sparrow, 'I should really like to know
Why these anxious human beings Rush about and worry so.'
'Said the Sparrow to the Robin "Friend, I think that it must be
That they have no Heavenly Father;
Such as cares for you and me".
I do have a Heavenly Father. He does care for me. I just sometimes need that ever so gentle reminder.
"His eye is on the sparrow - and I know He watches me".
May your life be filled with enough sunshine
to make you appreciate the shadows
