You right good. Taking the ordinary of life and showing the magic in it is a gift you have which I gratefully receive from you. And if you are going to be so me-centered all the time, it might as well benefit somebody else too! :) This made me tear up. You right good.

It felt good, it was easy to do, and it gave us the final nudge to get a new car, which we'd been wanting to do but couldn't quite justify since there was nothing wrong with the black car, really. But I believe good can come through even our me-centered efforts. Mamala, this is a classic example of a deed that has self-interest within it.

It seemed like such a grown up car after the red Honda. Such a wonderful thing for you to provide the wonderful example to the kiddos by giving hope for a better life to someone who needs this assistance. And what a great time to do it at a time when "old clunkers" are being junked to create more landfill and pollution fumes when they are exterminated. What if "they" decide to do create a cash for clunkers when your generation and the economy is bogged down with all us first generation baby boomers. Maybe I can be recycled into something useful even though I will be dented and a pill guzzler. That car reminds me of your early marriage. It seemed like such a grown up car after the red Honda.

And that heavy-head-falling-down bit? Cracked me up. Because I totally adjusted Miss B's head in the car this afternoon. Tears here too.
