Palm Sunday

Once again, I began my "seven gratitudes for seven days" practice today.  While I hope I am grateful for the blessings in my life every day, I usually dedicate a seven-day period two or three times a year to write down what I am grateful for.  Sometimes it seems like pretty standard stuff (my family, my home, etc.), and sometimes I come up with some surprises.  Here is one of my gratitudes for today:

I am thankful for my 13-year-old Toyota Corolla, which unlike some 13-year-olds, is extremely reliable and dependable.  It goes when I want it to go, and it stops when I want it to stop.  In these times of higher gas prices, it is reassuring to know that I can drive a very long way on a tank of gas.  It is reasonably comfortable, although not exactly ergonomically correct, but that is easily remedied with a cushion.  And, the car's CD player that my family gave to me a few years back, helps to make even commuter traffic more pleasant.
