You are looking at my van. Stuck in my driveway. I took this photo from the house on my cell phone (Not really sure why it has this purple tint to it). I had my hungry 4 year old and a trunk full of groceries and a van that would not move either forward or backward. Awesome. After putting away the groceries and getting my son set up with lunch and a movie, I spent about 25 minutes in my futile attempt to get it out of the driveway.
And where was the sunshine in this moment? In my sweet elderly neighbor who brought over her shovel and a bucket of rock salt to help me. She wanted to shovel with me, but settled for chatting with me while she shivered in the cold, since I would not let her. (Did I mention it was about 17 degrees?)
There was also sunshine in my dad, who came to help me after I realized me shoveling the van out was a lost cause.
Yay for passing the first test - bright moments were really there!
