Flat Tire!… Catastrophic???

I was waiting for it to begin…

You know… the moment you pay something off... it begins to break down…

We just made our last car payment! … YES, that’s Great!… but, today my husband goes out… and finds a flat tire … just sitting there in the drive-way…

and it can’t be fixed!… … I imagine it’s from all of the pot holes that have emerged in our roads from the hard freezes we have had!

Of, course that doesn’t solve the problem!

and the tire store said they don’t have any just like the one that went flat… so we will probably have to buy two tires…

My husband put the spare on… and said, “We’ll just drive on that!”…

Of course he was exasperated … and knows we will change the spare out as soon as we can…

and it’s a Sunday… and the places he likes to deal with are closed…

I have to admit... we used to get totally bent out of shape  when catastrophes happened… but, after so many years of being on our own and responsible for ourselves and our kids… we have learned that these catastrophes are really minor inconveniences…

We have learned what is major!… and what is minor…

It surely keeps you humble when “minor inconveniences” happen…

Knowing that when YOU think all is well… Look out! … Something is usually around the corner…

Don’t get too comfortable!
