" Good Things Happen Regardless "

Wise words indeed.

It pays to listen to Radio Burgenland because during their daily lunchtime interview a young woman mentioned this sentence and like those rare nuggets of gold, this one is a keeper.

Good things happen regardless.

The chariot had its final exam for the yearly C.O.R ( rather quaintly it's called a Pickerl here ) and passed with flying colours. A good thing considering that it is over fifteen years old. Going to Pree's is a treat as they are so friendly, efficient, offer a cup of coffee and to top it off...they park the car in a way that yours truly doesn't need to manoever elaborately to drive out the parking bay.

Today I headed out the parking lot feeling as if I'd won the Lotto. Older cars and garages usually spell financial straits. Destination Kohfidisch in order to get groceries. Cat litter and cat food being the main culprits. Even that little sojourn at the supermarket was nice as I met up with a friend and had the fortune to chat for a while.

The current negative emotions, cantankerous almost gladiatorial rumblings and devastating catastrophes encircling many parts of the globe make it even more vital to find the good in life.

Good things happen regardless.

Once you look for them there's no stopping. Twisting the chariot through the delightful village of Badersdorf I came upon a purple rose. The Rose house, the one at the end of the t-junction is always a treat to drive past, but today especially so because of this exquisite purple rose.

The whole trip back home took only ten minutes but it was ample to brighten my mind-set. The foliage turning in colour and making the avenue of trees appear timeless in their yellow robe, aren't noticed by everyone driving along it but for me it was another good thing to happen today.
