It’s amazing what too many coffees will do in the morning ???
I would normally put this as a fun post but LinkedIn (which is annoying) allows for limited wording so have to make this into an article (and that wasn't the intention) just wanted to share some thoughts for the day ??
Wrote this on my mobile phone in a few mins forgive the grammar...
I was thinking about our live's and our bodies and imagined if we became a car today, what kind of a journey would we have as a vehicle, lol ??...
A little light read for you in your free time. If you don’t enjoy it, you can blame too much coffee ???
We are like a car, we drive down a long road in our new clean car as we begin our life in this world. And we experience so many wonderful and beautiful roads as we continue to drive forward and of course sometimes we drive down a bumpy old road or get stuck in traffic and the car breaks down or runs out of fuel. Sometimes our car has a serious crash, and at the very least will for sure get a puncture or scratches and dents. We can sometimes prevent damage by making sure we have a annual checkup at the garage and have parts repaired or replaced and sometimes something happens we weren’t prepared for and we have to deal with that situation at that time. We should be careful to keep our cars clean, wash them often, keep them polished and make sure we put the best possible fuel in the tank to keep our vehicles running as smooth as possible ??
Occasionally our friends or families cars breakdown and we have to say farewell but we are thankful for the ride they gave us and the time we got to spend with them on the road, knowing that they will face a new journey in a new car and on different roads...
One day our own car will breakdown and we won’t be able to fix it and have to leave our vehicle worn out by the roadside, and when this happens we just have to know that we took our very best care of this wonderful vehicle and had an amazing ride together and we are so grateful for the long journey we had, that took us around this amazing world and deep in our hearts know we gave it our best love and care and drove it to our best abilities, all the way, to the end of the road ??
Tips for a great journey:
1. Clean and polish your car every week

6. Don’t drive too crazy or you’ll crash or get a ticket ??
7. Enjoy the journey and don’t get too upset even when you are in a traffic jam ???
8. Be thankful for the car you drive don’t care what other cars people drive!
9. Always be courteous and help other drivers on the roads
10. And most of all don’t let your car just sit there in the garage! Get out into this wonderful world and have the most amazing journey possible in this incredible vehicle ??
