My Dream Car

Last Friday was my Range Rover Evoque day, my car was in for a service, MOT and they very kindly gave me my dream car for the day.

Needless to say I spend most of the day in it driving from place to place and absolutely loving it.

Unfortunately my car also had a cracked windscreen and the company were fixing it for the second time in a week! Yes, it was crazy been driving since I was 17 never had a cracked windscreen and then I get two in a week.  But I was reassured by the lady on the phone that it would be the heat that had done it on the replacement one and I had nothing to worry about they would just fix it.

So my day was going along lovely, I even had plans to go to a new crystal shop I hadn’t been to before but I felt sure I would get exactly what I wanted (large piece of rose quartz).  We were also meeting my nephew and going swimming too.

Cutting a long story short or at least trying to, nephew changed his mind, this disappointed my son, my kids started squabbling, and the garage called to say that actually I had had another stone chip and they couldn’t just replace the windscreen but I would have to pay!  We were walking at the time and now my dog decided to take a poo and I had that to clear up.  The bag of poo I was now carrying seemed very symbolic of how the day was going!  I was so quick to blame others, because at the time everyone was ruining my day.

So I tried very hard to lift this mood.  Asking of course for help from the Angels, we made our way back to the car, of course looking for a bin en-route, as I couldn’t take that back in my dream car!!!

The mood was not lifting as quickly as I would like and decided we better go to the crystal shop and head home.  I had been recommended to the shop and told the man was lovely and helpful in there, so I was looking forward to going in.  It was such a hot day and the kids and dog stayed outside whilst I went in to the stuffy shop.  The man didn’t even lift his head up from what he was doing, it was a tiny shop and he didn’t even speak.  I remember back to when I had my shop and how I spoke to everyone who came through the door.

I couldn’t stand the silence any longer and said “hello”, I got a sharp reply “hi” back.  Needless to say I did not make a purchase but came out thinking why do people recommend him?

Thankfully, our day did improve and when we got back in to the car and the radio came on a song came on that I had been singing to in the changing rooms at the swimming pool earlier in the day, it reminded me of how excited I felt about the day ahead.  We were soon all singing along and the mood was lifting again. I know the Angels made sure we heard that song to help. The kids started getting on and I was driving my Evoque again, so all was good.  I didn’t worry about having to pay for the windscreen as I knew if I did and I focused on that more bills and expenses would roll in.  Instead I trusted that the money would come in and indeed it did.

Looking back on it all later that day, was it my bad mood and energy that affected that man in the shop? Does everyone want to be treated the way we want to be treated, there is probably lots of people who would quite happily not be spoken to in a shop. Just because that is what I wanted doesn’t mean it is right?  We are all different and we don’t know what is going on for others, so we should not be so quick to blame others and judge, sometimes we just need to step back and look at things differently.

I believe we need to be more aware of our energy and how it affects others and how differently we see the world depending on what mood we are in.  If I had gone into the shop before the dark mood had descended I am sure I would have seen it in a different light and maybe the man would have reacted differently to me too.
