Blessing In Disguise.

Thursday is usually a jolly day for me but it did not start good today. It's cold and rainy here since yesterday. My son came home disheartened, he did not pass his practical driving test. I had a nice talk to him about how to handle failures and frustrations in life and gave him a big hug. He was looking forward to getting his license. He turned 18 last month, the age allowed to apply for a license here. I knew he and his friends were planning to have a good time tonight. It's a cold rainy night, not a good idea to be out there. I was kinda relieved that he did not come home with a driving license. He's going back in two weeks to try again.

I had to go somewhere and running late, the car did not start. Radio and lights were working, I didn't think it's the battery. I had no time to figure out what was wrong, I don't know much about cars. After numerous attempts, I decided to take an uber. About 200 meters away from my place, there was an accident and luckily, the Uber driver was able to avoid ramming into a delivery truck, just some scratches on the side of his car. The rain was pouring, not a good day for driving. I knew then that the car did not start for a very good reason, I'm so thankful. I came home after few hours and went to the car, it started it right away, there seems to be no issues. I felt blessed today. I think someone is looking after me.

My son and his four best friends are having iftar right now, loud and crazy but nice to see them having fun. I cooked brisket, mashed potatoes, fajitas and ordered wings from Buffalo to make it more fun.
I made chocolate mousse cake last night and picked up some strawberry ice cream to pair with. I'll give it to them in a bit, after I posted this blog

It's warm and fun with them here and thank God tomorrow is Friday!
