I tell this story...even at the risk of sounding shallow.

My car was in the shop ALL day today (whole other story)! So having no car I walked everywhere! I walked home from the car place (1.5 miles), I walked to the store (4 times because they conveniently left some stuff out of my bag) and I walked BACK to the car place to pick up my car.

On one of my many trips to the grocery store I called my mom. Something inside me just feels better walking places if I'm talking on the phone. I seem to believe I look a little less awkward. While talking with my mom I admitted this to her, "I don't like walking places (unless exercising). It makes me feel poor. As if everyone is looking at me and thinking...look at that girl that doesn't have a car." I wanted to be wearing a shirt that said, "My car is in the shop." Like anyone cares!

The truth is...I am a little shallow. I like my "stuff." I like to look good on the outside to people. So in short today I was humbled and grateful. Humbled by having to walk everywhere and humbled to see my hearts reaction. Grateful that I am so well provided for. I am a lucky girl...I try not to take it for granted.

AND...Hey, at least I had these cute new Toms to walk around in!
