Dashboard Message

I've been going through some of my old journals and found this story that I wrote about 3 years ago. Hope you enjoy it! "Dashboard Message" -- written Nov. 19, 2007 Today when I started my car, I got a new dashboard message. Very plainly, the letters spelled out to me "YOU ARE LOVED." You might find that difficult to believe -- so allow me to share the whole story with you! I drive an older model Buick Park Avenue. My children always referred to it as a land yacht. Granted, it is a large car. But one thing I really like about it are all the little "bells & whistles" -- the extra features that make it a neat car. For example, it has heated seats, which are oh-so-nice on a frosty morning! Another feature is the dashboard message center. This small display of bright green letters lets me see my car's mileage. Or it may display a warning, such as "DOOR AJAR." Once in a while, it reads "CHECK GAUGES" when I'm running...
