Milestones
Apr. 20th, 2008 11:08 amI am now the owner of a "mystic blue" (that's deep blue, but not quite midnight blue for us laypeople) 2008 Ford Focus.
While cleaning out my old car, Madeline, it occurred to me how much time I've spent in her. (This wasn't just because of the accumulation of junk I had in the car.) I learned to drive in her. I hit a sapling in her while learning to drive. She took me to Matt's bedside. She drove me back and forth from the Bay Area to Davis when I couldn't figure out what to do with myself and was living in both places at once. She's been to a couple of fairs and at least one memorable road trip.
Yeah, I cried a little. It was the good kind of crying. This was another milestone for letting go. And while last night I felt a little odd, today I feel a little more free.
Pictures to come.
