Don't Forget to Smell the Flowers

I know sometimes things are not the way we 

want them to be or are not the way we 

imagined or dreamed.

This is the case with my car.

I had been dreaming of owning this Volkswagen for years.

Since I got it, it has only brought me trouble

and it is in the shop every two weeks. 

All the parts and anything and everything related 

to is complicated, not to mention expensive.

It's been in the shop for a week now getting the A/C repaired.

I don't even want to see the bill.

Since I got it in January it's been on and off in the shop. 

But, I need to get a hold of myself, I cannot let

this torment me for the time being.

So, I will stop.

Smell the flowers, hear the loud parakeets 

in the morning and just remember this

will not be an issue in a few years.
