Beloved,

Oh, the joys of owning a vehicle. I am thrilled that it has not snowed yet because it is making traveling easier. My mechanic is about 40 miles away from me but I have had him for 35 years and I trust him implicitly. We have had many journeys with my vehicles and he has always been there for me. We ladies need to be scrupulously careful about whom we believe when it comes to our cars because most of us do not know much about them. He does not do Inspection stickers so I need to go to someone else for that. One time I went to a garage for an inspection sticker and he said I needed some work done under the car (I can’t remember now what it was) and when I refused to let him do the repairs, he gave me a rejection sticker. I brought it to Teta’s Automotive in Chicopee, my mechanic. I asked him if I really needed that job done and he smiled and said I could have gone a while before it was necessary but since I had a rejection sticker, I had to have it done in order to get a new inspections sticker. Believe me, they were not happy to see me or vice versa, when I returned to get a new sticker. You have to bring it back to the station that rejected you!!! I have never returned to that station again.

Back to what I was saying before I got sidetracked. I took my car yesterday morning for its regular oil change and car rotation. Everything was fine but when I got on the highway to come home. The car would vibrate as if a tire was loose when I hit 63 MPH or above. I called and was told to bring it back this morning so they could check it and put the tires back the way they were. They re-rotated the tires at no charge and recommended a tire place to have a wheel alignment which I did. I was told that they needed balancing so we proceeded with that. He said everything looked fine afterwards but on the way home, on the highway again, the car started to shake more like before. I called the tire alignment place and he said to have Paul Teta drive it to see what he thought was the matter. I called Paul and he said since it wasn’t the tire rotation that caused it to begin with that he would have to drive the car to get some sense of what is happening. He warned me though that I might have to leave the car there for perhaps 2 days for it to be repaired as he knows I do not have any other transportation. He cannot take it for a ride until next Tuesday so I have a few days to find out where I can rent a car for two days. I love my vehicle; it is a 2004 Toyota Rav4 which has just gone over the 100,000 mile mark. I am REALLY grateful that there is no snow and I hope it will hold off until my car is repaired.

Episodes like this are reminders to me of how much I have to be grateful for and the people who take such good care of me. Here is a quote from Abraham that helps in frustrating times:

“A feeling of being overwhelmed is your indicator that you are denying yourself access to all manner of cooperation that could assist you if you were not disallowing them.

As you begin to feel freer regarding the expenditure of time and money, doors will open, people will come to assist you, refreshing and productive ideas will occur to you, and circumstances and events will unfold. As you change the way you feel, you access the Energy that creates worlds. It is there for your ready access at all times.

—Abraham

Remember that Monday, Dec 21, is the winter solstice. It is the longest night of the year and the shortest day. To me, it reminds me that all of the darkness that is showing up not only in the weather but in the world is now on the way out. The day, the Light will get stronger each and every day so there will be less and less darkness. I want to you give you a smile to take with you until Christmas Day. Let’s shine the light out to the world each and every day.
