There are so many "THINGS" in this lifetime... and I won't lie but some people, including myself can get caught up with the THINGS in this life.. which can be literally gone in seconds!  

But, since I'm a recovering shopaholic.. so I know for sure about having THINGS.. and buying stuff to cure a bad day.. or get a quick fix.
I definitely found out the hard way .. that that DOESNT WORK... cause basically you'll always end up wanting more and more.. and just NEVER be HAPPY.  
I know its not a necessity to have a new car.. but not having one for about ten years.. and worried about repairs and unexpected brake downs.. I knew a new car was the next event in my life.  I thought I knew the car that I wanted for sure.  But after much searching and researching.. and with much gratitude and thankfulness to my Husband.. my new car was delivered two weeks ago.. and its exactly what I wanted.  My first love, THE BEETLE was back in my life.  I must say I do feel very spoiled.... cause it is a pretty awesome ride... 
  
So whether big or small things .. we always need to be happy for what we have.. and be THANKFUL for ALL things..no matter what you HAVE or dont Have...
