Have you heard about the new little gadget they have for cars these days? Yes, it's called a gas gauge. Really. It's an amazing little thing...it keeps track of how much gas you have in your tank so you don't have to track the mileage yourself.
I know, I know...it's been around for quite some time. However, mine (actually, the fuel sensor in the tank) went kaputs a little over a year ago and I have been driving around, watching my trip odometer every day and figuring my miles per gallon at every fill up. Finally, it is to be no more!
Yes, it is a "little thing," to be sure, but I had forgotten how peaceful it is NOT to have to track the mileage; how peaceful it is NOT to worry if something has happened to the gas tank (or the gas itself being syphoned!) and wondering if there really was any gas in the tank to begin with. It's a little thing, but a huge accomplishment. It is one less worry I have on my plate and I can focus just a little more energy on the people who count in this world.
I am grateful for having the ability both to track my mileage manually and to budget my money so that I could save up to get such a long-overdue repair done. Not everyone has those two abilities and I am ever so grateful that I do.
