I heard from the insurance adjuster yesterday. Blue is fixable and has been towed to the body shop where the work will be done. I'm really glad about this. She is a great car, and I'd just as soon not have to buy another right now.
I remember reading about Shadow's much loved car after the accident. I guess that I also get attached to the familiar--to those "things" that I have. I'm not a creature who likes to toss aside those inanimate things that are familiar. I'm a sucker for animals and would have a herd if I could. And I'm a soft touch for people too.
Maybe all this is the "fixer" in me. I don't want to give up on things, animals or people. I want to make things right. That's been a life long issue. I recognize that I'm powerless. And I fully accepted with the car accident that Blue was likely to be totaled. So when I heard from the adjuster, I was glad to have good news.
I'm grateful for being on the mend with my cold. I still sound bad and am stopped up. But I can tell that this too shall pass.
Thanks for all your kind comments. An accident, an anniversary, Thanksgiving, and a cold in a week has been a good dose of humility.
I think you must not of had enough drama or something for 2008 so you are ending the year with a bang.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear about your ride and your cold. Have a great day. jeNN
ReplyDeleteAnd a good week of balance too! It's so much easier to handle some of life's struggles when it's mixed with life's blessings!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad blue is going to be ok, too!
Glad blue is fixable! You'll be driving her again soon!
ReplyDeleteHopefully you have had your share of bad stuff happen this year.
ReplyDeleteI am glad about your car.
i'm glad you're on the mend. i'm glad blue's on the mend. yip, fixer. that's fine too, right?!?!?
ReplyDeletehi Syd. Yay! about Blue. I am happy that the car is fixxable.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing about not wanting to give up on things, and people. That is absolutely me. I still think if I just try a little harder I can make it work. Letting go is hard. It is nice to hear (even though I know) that I am not alone.
Peace and Serenity,
Kristen
I'm glad to hear that your car is okay! By the way, I really loved the "recipe for a happy life" a few posts back.

Glad to hear you are feeling better and blue will be too soon.
ReplyDeleteAwww. I miss a couple of days and here you up and had an accident and got sick while I was gone! I'm sorry. Having been sick and had an accident this past couple of weeks, all I can say is "Awwww! You poor thing!"
ReplyDeleteI just got my car back yesterday, all fixed and painted. No bells, no whistles like the rental had but I'm thrilled to have my baby back with me. It's amazing how attached we get to objects like cars, isn't it?
As for your cold, just hunker down, wrap up in a blankie with some soup and you should be fine in no time.
Thinking happy thoughts for you. :o)
sorry about your week of awfulness.
ReplyDeleteI pulled out in front of someone a half a block away from my house in Sept. After I wreck a car some I just want to give it up and start new but didn't this time. But the driver side door is not the same as it was before.
Things tend to come in 3s - you've had 4.
ReplyDeleteThat should be enough for now. Hopefully, you won't need any more opportunities to practice humility for a while.
God bless,
Prayer Girl
I'm glad that everybody is glad you won't be blue over Blue.
ReplyDeleteI am brand new, searching for someone to help me. I am married to an alcoholic, not at all interested in treatment, with a 20 month old baby. Scared stiff....
ReplyDeleteYeah for good news!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the car is fixable.
ReplyDeleteI can't catch your cold by reading your blog, can I??!!
