Today was a day off for me. After 2 hours of sleep, I headed to Northern Virginia where I was greated by the cutest blue eyed, bubbly little 2 year old girl. Yes, my niece Ryleigh.......We were able to spend the afternoon together, filled with playing on the playground, having lunch together, and even taking a nap together. It was such a sweet time. Its one of the things that I treasure during this time. But the road home proved to be filled with the unexpected. Nearing the maryland boarder, I began to hear a loud thumping sound in my car. OH no, not a tire. Could it be? You see, in the last 11 years of driving, Ive never had a flat. Thank God I was on the left side of the 5 lanes and had room to pull off onto the shoulder. My tire was completely flat. Now my dad is a great, knowledgeable man, but we never took time to go over the skill of changing a tire. Then again, I really didn't want to get out of my car. Thankfully, I renewed my AAA membership this past summer. Needless to say, my AAA man came to the rescue and put a spare on. The tire was unrepairable thanks to a nail. But the spare got me home, going fifty miles an hour with my flashers on. Cars were flying by me with glaring eyes. Oh well, everybody needs to slow down every once in a while!
Tonight, the candles are burning, the lights low, music is on, and the wash is in the dryer. Its a nice night, with time to be still, read, reflect and make some goals for myself. I'm looking at doing some things Ive never done before, like salsa or swing dance lessons! How fun would that be! I'll keep you posted on what I decide.
Blessings!
