Just another beautiful day at the Everett 10th street Dock
We had a great picnic on the dock with some fun friends
then we saw some seals playing in the water around the docked boats
the kids played and jumped and laughed
the moms gabbed and talked and basked in the sun
When we were all ready for a beach experience we headed to the cars
Destination: a near by sandy beach
When we discovered
that only feet from where we were picnicing
in a crowded parking lot
my car had lured a criminal
who's intentions were malicious
My purse the object that forced this desperate act
should I have left it on the seat in clear view, of course not
should I have left my Ipod in it, of course no
but I did
and that is that
now here we are
credit cards cancelled, checks cancelled, drivers license needed, and window less
tomorrow the nice insurance people will do there best to ease my pain
for a small fee of course
and all will be almost as it was.....for me that is
but for the criminal I suppose this is not the first or last crime & with it will come consequences
so for us we will pay the deductible and move on
I guess in the long run I am better off
this is what I will tell myself when I wish I could have more play money
this is what I will tell myself while transferring my 4 car seats to a rental
this is what I will tell myself while standing in line at the DMV
this is what I will tell myself when I am looking for a purse that I love as much as my hand painted thrift store score
I guess in the end the damage to me is minimal in the end
the damage
I guess it makes me think of the scripture
"Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God"
Even though my car is worth a lot of $$
the worth of the person who did this is greater
