Another unexpected light appears

When you have dementia in your life sometimes things can get a little dark.  I'm discovering however, as you may have realised, that the lights are there if I look hard enough and today I found another one.  Over the years I've had a few fun cars including a white Ford Escort Cabriolet with a bright pink 'splat' on the side and an azure blue Land Rover Freelander with a choice of hard or canvas back but then, due to reasons beyond our control, life became a little grey and so did the vehicles so that now I'm the proud owner of a grey Seat which isn't boring to drive but is very boring to look at and certainly hard to pick out in a car park.  I've recently been thinking of changing this particular vehicle but had decided that I would need to get one identical partly because Ash loves it so much and also because I thought he might struggle to drive anything else.  A walk this morning with friends cleared my head to such an extent that I realised, with Ash's driving license gone, I can have any car, any model and any colour I want.  Haven't decided on make or model but have decided that the only colour to go with will be bright red.  Can you see this new me emerging, blinking, into the sunlight?

Jealous! My hubby hasn't driven in years but prefers a big pickup truck (This is TEXAS, USA) so that's what I drive. I'd love to have a smaller station wagon or something but this is what we have. Maybe someday...

A big up truck sounds fun if a little scary but we have very narrow lanes here so could see me getting stuck. do like the idea of a bright red sports car if I can find one with space for the dog. never thought of it as an option before but hey we have to find the fun wherever we can.

Well, maybe a MEDIUM SIZED sports car with room for the dog?? Love your attitude these days!!
Jane said…
thank you. I'm quite liking my attitude these days too. it's certainly an improvement on some of what's gone before but think I had to work through all that in order to get to this point.
