Blessings in disguise
I believe in blessings. I just don’t believe in ‘heavenly blessings’. To me, a blessing is merely a good stroke of luck, or a wish thereof.
That being said, I think that all of the bad things that have happened to me lately are blessings in disguise.
I complained about my job to myself, and was laid off. Now I have a better job with better people that say ‘thank you’.
I complained about my computer needing a PCI-Express (or is that PCI-X?) port, and it was hit by lightning. Luckily, a friend of mine lent me his laptop until I can get a new computer.
I complained about my car having no A/C and having other problems. The car was stolen, and now I have a new truck.
I complained about my apartment complex smelling funny and having a mold problem. Now the stolen car gives me leverage to move out early.
Could it be that my complaints are a form of ‘ask and you shall be given’? Would things be better if I had asked instead of complained? Who knows.
What I do know, however, is that the universe acts in mysterious ways to balance things out. It’s a hard life, sometimes. Some people have it harder than others. I’m one of the lucky ones.
Gallery2 added
Okay! I’ve added Gallery 2 to my site, as well as embedded Gallery2 into my blog.
You can see pictures of the new truck here.
New Vehicle
In lieu of the stolen vehicle, I’ve managed to work a brand new 2006 Nissan Frontier into my budget. I’ve even got GAP insurance through the dealership. I checked Progressive’s GAP insurance, and it only pays 25% of the owed cost of the vehicle…that’s not going to cut it for me, unfortunately.
As of 12:15 AM on September 26th, the vehicle was still in the parking lot. Let’s hope it stays there this time, eh? I don’t want to have gone through all of this hassle for nothing!!! At least this vehicle has a security system. I want to get LoJack installed, but it costs $1000.00 and I don’t want to pay that right now. I’ve got my budget worked out PERFECTLY as far as I know, and I don’t need something else to throw it off.
28 more days until my initial 90-day review at work!!
I’m adding a photo blogging software to this site just for the phun of it. I think it’s about time
Also, my sister (aka KooriTora) seems to be doing well with the cancer and all of the other things plaguing her at the moment. Everybody keep your fingers crossed for her!!!
