Yoga at it's best... Not a tire story.

Ok, so Ewa just puchased a new pair of tires... And this was a very good thing to do... Her tires were very worn out, almost without thread... I was concerned that her tire would not last through the weekend, and fortunately all worked out great and now she has new tires.


The funny thing is... I ended being the one with a flat tire the next day... After yoga and meditation, on my way to work, I hit a curve, which ended up making my tire flat.


First I tried to put some air on the tire - unfortunately the gas station near my workplace had sealed the air pump section - only that section - well, never fear, because I am well equipped with meditation and Yoga power, so I didn't let this bother me...


I then went to a near by car mechanic shop and see if they could pump some air.  A nice mechanic named Igor helped me put air on the tire, and to my surprise the air was leaking from the side of the tire (Tire side punctures are not fixable)... He asked me where I attained the tires, and suggested to go there and get a new tire... He helped mount the spare tire so I could get there.


 So I went to Huntington's NY "All Weather Tires" - this is a great store, but you need to be ready to wait for service, luckily this time of day it was empty.




That amount of meditation and yoga helped me to overcome the problem... Specially considering that these tires are only 1 month old... Not even a month.


















Well, I got my tire, and you would think that was it... Well, not quite... Not even 1 mile away from the tire shop... I start hearing a thumping sound... Yes... A big screw had just married one of my tires... The new tire!






Now my meditation and yoga practice were being put to it's true test... And it seemed to have worked...


Namaste... Inhale...exhale...focus on breathing
