Listen To Life
Have you noticed?

You know how your car or truck gets dirty in the winter?  The weather isn’t so warm so you don’t feel like washing it yourself.  And much of the time the carwash is closed becIt’s easy to slowly grow accustomed to the dirty appearance of your vehicle.  That’s what happened to me recently.  I just really didn’t see the dirt on my car…
