It is great news everyone was okay. I laughed when you said your wife called needing a tow and you wanted to run there. It is a good thing instead of complaining about the damage done, you chose to give thanks.

One thing about gratitude, it encourages more to be done for you. When some gives you $1 and you are honestly appreciative, it may spur than person to give you $5 next time because there is an intrinsic joy a giver feels when is efforts are highly appreciated.
