from A Penny For Your Thoughts · host Penny Plautz
Our cars don't just transport us. They carry us.So when I found myself at the car dealership being asked, “What would keep you from buying a new car today?” my answer defied logic.It was purely sentimental.Because essentially what I heard was, “Are you ready to let go of the car that carried you here today?”At that moment, I was not. No amount of persuasion could help me process that fact. I had to come to terms with it in my own time.
