My new RIDE Miracle!!

Another Week without my car has been interesting, fun, and stressful. I don't want to let go of my Audi, it's the best car I have ever had! Last week I wrote about using this little hick up in the road as an opportunity and that is exactly what I have done.
Even though it's been stressful to be without my car I can have enjoyed walking to the office everyday to work. It has led to some good exercise and time with friends and family I wouldn't normally have had I simply jetted around town in my car.

I am happy to say that I have finally located the perfect replacement vehicle! I am excited to pick it up next week too!  Funny thing, I actually am helping the car salesman with his mortgage, so, not only is he helping me get a car, but I am helping him pay for his house!  I love how this worked out and even though the bank doesn't like the idea due to my credit, its ok, I know it was meant to be and that is my car!

I have had fun making this deal and since I am a praying man I must give the glory to god for helping me find the car I need to have and helping work out this situation which is turning into a win win deal for all!!
Doing a deal that is a win win for each party is the only way I do business! My motto is to help each member of the deal to get more then they expected. It's a practice I heard of years ago and it fit's my style.
There are plenty of people out there trying to rob you blind but what none of them understand is that there is plenty of money out there for everyone and if you help enough people get what they want you will get what you want too!!

My goal with this car deal is to find a way to satisfy the Bank, the seller of the new car and the mechanics who have the old one!
It's a challenge to say the least but I am confident that God is leading me and helping find a way to get it done and that's exactly what I am going to do. With his help, I am going to find a way to make the bank happy and give them more then they want

Carless and loving it!!

Once again I find my self with an excellent opportunity to find the positive in a tough citutation. I've been at work now for 12 straight hours with no ride home due to the car being in the shop again. This is the second week in a row that I have battled being on foot. Finding a ride home is Tough due to the hours I work. I am the graveyard supervisor for the poker room at a local casino which means I can't go home if there is still a game going.
I'm scheduled to leave at 7am but if the poker game goes all night I have to stay till 9am for relief to arrive. I don't mind working a few extra hours now and then but it does make it hard to plan my mornings since I never know what time I'm going to get out. Then there are other days when I get to leave early, even as early as 5 or 6am and that's the fun part!

Its nice to get home while its still dark outside because I sleep better!
Normally its not a problem, the only frustration is needing to leave early for an appointment but getting stuck until late because I'm at the mercy of the poker players will, if they decide to play longer then normal it can be frustrating if I know people outside are waiting on me.
All in all its not so bad, like I said, the trade off is getting to leae early on other days, so being stuck one in a awhile is a small price to pay to enjoy starting my weekend early.
Today, not only did I have to stay late, but, on top of that I now have no ride home and this is the second week in a row I've had to stay until 12noon before getting to go home.
I've done my share of complaining in my lifetime so now I am deciding to think differently and have a good attitutde even though I am tired and normally wouldn't.
You see, that's the cool thing about us humans, we really do have control over the way we feel, we just have to decide to use it.
Even though its a bummer having to catch rides for a couple weeks, I've actually enjoyed it! Its given me a chance to get reacuainted with friends on the day shift, plus having time to chat with people in the car that I normally wouldn't spend time with.
What I am saying is, sometimes its good to break up the daily ruteen, it helps you see things in a different light.
So today, even though I'm tired and annoyed that I can't find a ride, I am happy to have some time to write in my blog!!
I don't know aout you, but I am a creature of habit and starting a new habit of using my time wisely by writing in my blog is definately a good thing!
So, once again, I am excited today to have found the positive in my cituation and I'm hoping that you can too!

Keep working towards your dream, ....laters :)
