Sometimes it difficult to see the opportunity staring you in the face. Spending close to $500.00 to replace a blown water pump, timing belt and other minor repairs is a hard pill to swallow. Eeks….I’ts not that I don’t have the money…I do. I just prefer to allocate it elsewhere. *grins* That camera I want is not much more than these repairs.

Being stuck at the house for the past two days -yes my choice as there is a decent bus system in Hawaii. I’m just too lazy to use it to get to work especially when there’s food and coffee in the house – was the opportunity to dedicate the time thinking about where I wanted to go and how to set up these three blogs. It’s somewhat of a large learning curve. I’ve spent the past two days glued to the computer. I have so much more to learn. It’s what I needed to do. After all, I asked for it. *grins*

I am grateful the water pump actually blew in front of the apartment and I didn’t have a tow bill to deal with. I milked it to the shop a few easy miles from the house. I found the owners delightfully honest. They graciously provided me with a ride home so I wouldn’t have to take a cab. In all the annoyance of car repairs, I was given the down time necessary to accomplish what I wanted. After all, I can’t exactly take pictures with any camera or sit on the beaches I Love without my trusty Subaru, now can I? *laughs*

I’m grateful it’s a beautiful day.

I’m grateful for being provided the ability to…

Hope your weekend is filled with opportunity and blessings.
