My wonderful cousin Veronica Kerin posted about Blessings not to long ago. It made me think how we all have so many Blessings in out life even if they r small and we dont always realize this. As u know an impaired driver hit me in August. slammed rt into my non-moving car He was impaired because he called me that nite and told me he has cancer, is on all these medications and was coming home from a chemo treatment which I couldnt believe he was driving. No wonder why he didnt want to call the Police. I thought he was such a nice old sweet man. Then in September the owners if the condo above me, their toilet broke and the water came flooding into my bathroom and ruined a lot of my ceiling and walls. I wanted to use my contractors, who I have used for decades, but the owners were soo nice, so I thought, and said we will use ours. Well it took them 4 weeks or more and they did such a shoddy job it was embarrassing. They left a hole in my ceiling. During these 4 weeks, those such NICE condo owners, NEVER returned my phone calls at all. Just took advantage of me and thought, Oh she wont do anything about it. At this point I was so upset that all I could think about were the problems and nothing else. You can get consumed with anger. The insurance company determined the car accident was my fault b/c he had the rt away. But I said he was impaired and getting back from chemo and he looked at me and said I never said that. I dont have cancer. I just started crying. I couldnt believe he was lying and I thought he was such a nice old man. So my 15 yr old car has to have all this expensive work done and my bathroom looked like a couple of 10 yr olds tried to fix my bathroom and left a hole in the ceiling. I was so frustrated. So I had already made appts for my car to have work done before the accident even happened. My dad says why dont u let me take it to my dealership and have them take a look. Well, he comes back, he had the car all fixed, the oil changed, new brake pads put on, and decided it was going to need a new timing belt/chain that he would have that done too and of course filled up the gas tank. OMG WOW WOW. He wouldnt even let me pay him anything, what a Blessing. While he was there I asked him to come in and look at my horrid bathroom. He took a look and said unacceptable. The contractors just happened to be on the property so my dad went up to the owner and said come look at this bathroom. My dad said is this acceptable to you? The contractor said not at all but since his grandson did all the work he did not know. Me crying and telling him how bad it was...and he didnt know. Really? My dad said you will redo the entire bathroom to perfection or u will pay my daughters contractors to do the work. And if it isnt acceptable, there will be serious consequences. WOW WOW WOWY. If my dad wouldnt have intervened on both these situations, I was going to be screwed. But after all is said and done, my car is better than before it was hit and my b/r will be all new again or problems will ensue. I am sure of that. What a Blessing. So dont be so focused on the destination or end result, realize those beautiful Blessings along the way. Thanks Ronnie for helping me realize that.
