Day 30 of my 30 days of Thank's


I guess if you read the past 30 days of posts they are not really what most people would expect if one was to give thanks for things. I do thank God for my home, family, friends and all the good gifts He has given me. I'm in a point of transition in my life. My mother in law is dying. This I guess makes me really think about what direction I want the last 20 or so years of my life to take. I can not say I'm sorry with the way it has already gone (my life that is). I've had a very interesting and blessed life. Still, I'm inching up on the big 50Th birthday (I just turned 46) and it makes me think I've really got to set in motion any and all real changes I'm going to want to take before I just wake up and realize my life is over. It does fly by so fast! What does that mean? I could not tell you. I only know I'm going to fix my direction and I'm thinking allot about where I want to end up, and how I plan to get there! The good thing is Juergen feels the very same way. I probably already thanked God for Juergen, but I just could never thank him enough! Never!

I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi
