Feeling stressed, yet blessed.
With all that is going on in the world I've been feeling stressed - I realize I'm certainly not alone! It has been a wild 11 months.
But knowing I have caring family and friends makes me feel blessed.
Yesterday afternoon I was driving our wheelchair accessible van on Division Street after filling the gas tank.
We had just had a new fuel pump installed the day before. I thought all was OK but alas it was far from it.
The van died as I was about to go over the train tracks. Everything was off so I couldn’t even put on my hazard lights.
Local readers know just how much non-stop traffic there is on Division Street on a Saturday afternoon!
I hopped out of the car, not knowing when the train would be coming by. Three guys stopped to help to no avail.
I am grateful I had my phone with me and was able to reach the place where the van was serviced the day before!
When I told the owner where I was he immediately drove over with the tow truck and rescued my van … and me.
I’m feeling very blessed that nothing bad happened. It was a little scary but it all worked out.
Long story short, more work needs to be done on the van Monday. A new alternator perhaps?
Yikes!! Glad they were able to get there quickly and get the van - and you - off the tracks. Scary stuff!
