Gratitude Day 2 - full tank of gas

I am grateful that Past Roses had filled my gas tank on her way home the other evening.

Yesterday I had three errands to run, should have taken 20-30 minutes to drive the route and take care of business.

However, on the way to the first destination there was construction and a 15 mile detour that I hadn't expected. Then, between the first and second destinations I was stopped by a train. More construction diverted traffic around the third destination. 

The extra miles, the long idle, the stop and go traffic... any of these with a near empty gas tank could be a problem or at the very least a stress trigger.

I skated through all of them with no problems and no worries.

Of course...

The 20-30 minute errand run ended up taking me a full hour to finish which was disappointing. 

But I'm grateful that it was only a mild inconvenience and nothing more.
