THINGS HAPPEN

Have you ever been at a tire shop at 7:15 in the morning? Well, I am here now.

Yesterday, a panel in my car showed that my rear left tire needed attention. I drove to the gas station to fill it with air, but I knew I’d have to visit my favorite tire shop, Rolling Stone, first thing in the morning. Online, I found out they open at 7:00, so I arrived 15 minutes early — only to find eight vehicles already ahead of me. I was told I’d have to wait at least an hour.

Fortunately, I brought my writing pad, so I could make good use of the time.

On my way there, I was listening on YouTube to a talk titled Things to Tell Yourself Every Morning. The second affirmation really struck me: “No matter what happens, do not get upset.” A good reminder — especially this morning.

Once my tire was fixed, I continued listening to the rest of the affirmations, which I’ll share with you later. Meanwhile, I kept writing notes for my upcoming book, How to Enjoy Comfortable Aging, where I explore various aspects of life we encounter as we advance in age. Many of these topics I also discuss every Monday on my channel on Telegram under the title Comfortable Aging with Manny Kagan.

Stay tuned to my weekly posts— and, for now, enjoy the three photos from the tire shop, which are quite self-explanatory.
