Repairs & Reparations

Sometimes in the morning my car, much like myself, shudders when accelerating through first gear. Cold, cranky, and mildly depressed at the prospects of transporting somewhere to sit all day - it's no wonder we're reluctant. Workhorses. Young, pretty, classy, dignified, and sometimes slow to warm up.

I have an appointment with a mechanic to have this "looked" at, because unlike ourselves, we repair inanimate objects when they begin to malfunction. And we do this at the first sign of malfunction because, if we didn't, something really bad might happen. Then why, if I may ask, do we not treat ourselves the same way? I'm not just talking physical health, either. It seems to me that most humans let problems and situations fester until the point that really bad things happen. Why? Because it's easier that way? In the end, an issue will be resolved whether its the long, drawn-out, stressful, painstaking way, or the quicky, easy, ripping off a bandaid kind of way.

I say, take the time and courage to do things the right way. I think you'll find it'll turn out better than you thought!
