The people who worked on my car were honest, trustworthy, kind beyond belief, and fun to be around; however, I could not light a fire to get them moving. Seems they work at a different pace here. The station was owned by an elderly couple and their adult son. They drove me back to my hotel, gave me some history on the town of Gold Beach, helped me unload my luggage in my room, took me to a nearby restaurant for dinner, and made sure I was taken care of. Fast-paced America has lost this simple generosity and compassion for our fellow man.
It rained all day so my photo opportunities were limited to inside the gas station. Ah! The importance of a sense of humor during frustrating moments. I laughed so much on this day thanks to my lifelong friend Nancee and Smiley.
New Tires!

While the tires I must say did not do a lot for me.
Your journal is so true, how we are all so caught up in so much we have little control over.
To wake up each day and look for opportunities to make a difference in someones life whether a smile, kind word or deed. That is what Our Lord is looking at. We then make a huge difference in our world.
Thanks Teresa for your insight, gives us all something to think about.
Have a great day tomorrow back on the road!!!!
