This is so incredible, I couldn't neglect to share. You know how most of the time you're feeling well, then you get sick and think about how you took breathing out of your nose for granted? Or let's say you're laid up from an injury; then your appreciation for the times you're in better health increases? That's how it always goes for me, at least. Those examples reflect the feeling I felt on my latest drive in to the station. Here's why. 

Normally, there's several lights lit up on my dash at any given time. Typically, it's some combination of the Check Engine light, the ABS light, and the Airbag light. Throw in that low fuel light too! I also just fixed my brakes and got that warning to blink off (separate from ABS). There's the common expression of a dash being lit up like a Christmas tree, and that is usually an accurate description for my old Chevy. However, after I turned my key and began to make my commute, I noticed everything was clear. Woah! 

I really wanted to take this opportunity to remind us to cherish whatever good conditions we live with. Sure, I don't have some fancy automobile with a backup camera and heated seats, but I'm fortunate for it to run well and am just thrilled to see a lack of warning lights. Heck, I'm glad it's on the road and not sitting on jack stands in disrepair. Wealthy I am not, yet I don't struggle to survive. I'm also not some chiseled marathon runner, but I move around with ease. My back doesn't hurt, I don't experience migraines, and my blood sugar is regular. For those reasons and countless more, I'm grateful. I believe it could always be worse, and for most of us, it could be way worse. 

When it comes to the Blazer, currently, things could hardly be better! 

Thank you for checking out this out and for listening to 94.9 WQMX, especially.
