Day 37 - I got my car today!! It is so exciting to just have a car. I had a car for the past 30 years and so it becomes just something I very much took for granted. And now, since I moved here, I just could not afford to buy one. So, I used public transportation, and I learned to like it and get good at using it, but the problem is always the off hours, and the weekends, and when I have to carry something very big, going up and down few buses, squeezing through narrow isle with a lot of people cramped around me. And of course as I discussed it yesterday, the emergency response aspect of owning a car. So I got it today and it was so nice just driving around from one place to the next, looking for parking places and actually being further away from my destination, just because of parking constrains, but the freedom that is attached to it and the feeling of one more step as an independent woman are wonderful! I am still amazed by the number of nice people I encountered during this purchase process. I talked about my banker yesterday. And than I have the guy who did my insurance and went out of his way to give me the best options and the best price. And than I have the guy who sold me the car. He was so nice and helpful. He replaced the tires on the car, installed an automatic car lock, took the car to get security certification and paid for it... I came to pick up the car and everyone there was smiling and hugging, and congratulating me. I went there every other week to rent a car, so they all know me there, always gave me the best cars, upgrade when ever they could. So today was a great day. I got a car and I witnessed the beautiful side of so many people.
I am thankful for that. They always say that people in my country give bad service, that they really don't know how to make the customer happy. I am happy to report that it's not really so. When you are nice as a customer they are nice to you, so nice to you. I am thankful for being surrounded by goodness, that am blessed to see this side of people, to have such nice people around me.
