We did one of my favourite things yesterday entire fifo family piled into my fathers now our thirty five year old truck and headed to the mother in laws (that’s not my favourite thing but that’s a whole other post..lol). This truck is old.. the paint is peeling, it has no power steering, no air conditioning…..nothing flash about her. Infact when one of my neighbours saw it first pull into the drive they said you want let that sit out in the street will you it will bring the value of the area down however despite all this, I love her..LOVE her.
So whats there to love about that? I love how its simple, basic. I love how when we get in we are all together so close as a family (its a bench seat; there aint much room), without the aircon, electric windows, even radio at times..I told you she was basic and we are happy so happy it makes me smile like I’m going to burst. The kids whilst they don’t like it (its squishy they tell me) laugh and play. We talk about the cows, farms, birds we are engaged in the moment and its every time we get in that big red Ford. Ive had an Oprah moment..a ahhhhh!!
I love it, I want that feeling all the time, I’m determined to get it after all I have learn’t how to be a little selfish. I think its all about living a little more simply. I’ll let you know how I go..so that was Sunday but its Monday..I hope that you had a great weekend my friends,
xxD
