Back From The Big Trip!

Sharing some insights from my whirlwind cross country trip of last weekend. 
We had booked a Toyota Rav 4 three weeks in advance, only to be told the day we needed to pick the car up that the closest thing to a Rav 4 that Avis had on hand was a Canyonero.  ​https://simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/Canyonero A gas guzzler and way too big, I began my journey feeling quite disgruntled. But, lo and behold, after 19 hours and nearly 1000 miles, I had no back pain. Would I have had the same experience in a Rav 4? I suspect I would've had a much more painful journey.  I would rent that monstrous boat again simply for that reason. 
More insights to follow, but for now, how about you?
Writing prompt: Write about a time you were pleasantly surprised at an unexpected outcome that did not go your way at first and you became quite upset about it.
Writing prompt: How long did that experience take you to surrender to a completely unexpected outcome?
Today I am thankful for being able to drive for 19 hours and still feel fine afterward.
+ Being able to do that twice in three days and still feel fine afterward and not have any back pain afterward.
Today I can give from my heart: The awareness that we can be tough, strong and stand up for ourselves when that's needed.
