Feel Good Friday -- August 19, 2011

I am 49 years old.

I did something this week

that I have never done before.

something I didn't think

I'd ever do.

my husband encouraged me to do it.

my dd went with me and was

even impressed with my skill.

I wasn't sure I could do it.

wasn't even sure I wanted to do it.

but when push came to shove,

I wanted it badly enough

that I overcame my fear of

possible failure and humiliation.

I went for it.

and what's more I ENJOYED it!

and here's what I got for my willingness

to step out of my comfort zone 

my brand new Honda Fit!

it's true.

I'd never bought a car by myself

before -- not even a used one

and this one is brand new!

I did my research.

I checked on prices.

I haggled.

I was prepared to walk out.

I stood up to all the 

sales ploys

and didn't cave to any 

unnecessary purchases.

I walked away having spent

only $100 more than I had

planned to spend.

I'm pretty darn proud of myself.

and I have a really cute car to show for it.
