In one car ride I heard the following quotes:
"I'm not as assertive as I need to be"
"ROME WASNT BUILT IN A DAY DEAR!"
"I'm not as assertive as I need to be I DONT KNOW HOW THAT MAN IS GOING TO SELL HIS TRUCK WHEN THERE ARE PIECES OF WOOD HANGING OUT OF THE WINDOW!!!"
"OH IT'S OKAY IF WE LOSE TRACK OF EACH OTHER WE CAN ALWAYS BUTT DIAL EACH OTHER EVER DAY IN HEAVEN!"
I remember getting a ride with this awesome lady!... At first I was afraid of her because she yelled at me over the phone and I accidently butt dialed her the night before...I had formally met her on my way to a destination I hadn't yet reached. I was afraid that she was going to be yelling at me about how I called her by accident the night before but instead she turned out to be hilarious!!!! She was like 60 something, She had this "gum chewing" attitude with her long beige jacket, coffee in one hand and cigarettes in the other hand!, She kept offering me these mini cigarettes and didn't mind letting me smoke in her car. When I arrived at her office she insisted that I sit down in a chair so she could brush my hair! She stood in line at the gas station striking up a conversation with the cashier for a good 5-10 minutes...probably pissing a few people in the line off who were in a hurry but nevertheless the conversation carried on until she said all she needed to say! She said honey....Rome wasn't built in a day! You need to start taking life one day at a time and stop being so hard on yourself! You're going to get to where you want to be but the goal is to keep trying! It's all about the little things in life! She looked out the window and said "ROME WASN'T BUILT IN A DAY!!! SEE... LOOK AT THAT DUMB GUY OVER THERE (As we passed a random house) THAT RED TRUCK IS AN UGLY RED TRUCK WITH A FOR SALE SIGN! I DONT KNOW HOW THAT DUMB GUY IS GOING TO SELL THAT DUMB THING WITH WOOD STICKING OUT OF THE WINDOW!!! I HOPE HE REMOVES IT SOON ITS A BIT OF AN EYE SORE! Wouldn't you agree?"
Then I nodded my head and I couldn't help but laugh as she rolled down the window and offered me a cigarette. "Attitude is everything" at the end of the car ride she insisted on getting out and giving me a hug.... she said "It's only going to keep getting better!" by the end of the car ride I felt like a totally different person. You just never know who you're going to meet! It just goes to show life is random! Time always moves weather you choose to or not. Attitude is everything!
