“But playing your music as loud as you want and coming home drunk aren't real life. Real life, it turns out, is diapers and lawnmowers, decks that need painting, a wife that needs to be listened to, kids that need to be taught right from wrong, a checkbook, an oil change, a sunset behind a mountain, laughter at a kitchen table, too much wine, a chipped tooth, and a screaming child.” WantNeedsChildrenRealHomeKidsTurnsBehindsToo MuchWifeTaughtPaintingMountainLaughterTablesWineOilReal LifeTeethDrunkLoudKitchenSunsetComing HomeDeckDiapersKitchen TableOil Change Author:Donald Miller
“I'm remembering how this works. How life doesn't have to be only anxiety about what's gone wrong or could go worng, and complaints about the world around you. How a person you're excited about can remind you there's stuff going on beyond... routine oil changes and homework. Stuff that matters. Stuff to look forward to.” WorldLooksPersonsMatterRememberStuffGoneAnxietyExcitedOilRoutineComplaintsHomeworkStuff That MattersOil Change Author:Sara Zarr
“I needed a vacation. I needed 5 women. I needed to get the wax out of my ears. My car needed an oil change. I'd failed to file my damned income tax. One of the stems had broken off of my reading glasses. There were ants in my apartment. I needed to get my teeth cleaned. My shoes were run down at the heels. I had insomnia. My auto insurance had expired. I cut myself every time i shaved. I hadn't laughed in 6 years. I tended to worry when there was nothing to worry about. And when there was something to worry about, i got drunk.” YearsRunningReadingWorryCuttingCarBrokenNeededTaxesEarsShoesGlassesOilIncomeTeethDrunkLaughedVacationHeelsApartmentStemInsomniaFilesAntsIncome TaxExpiredReading GlassesOil Change Author:Charles Bukowski
“If your body is crying out for a change, or crying out that it's unhappy, for goodness sake listen to it. Our bodies aren't machines that get by with a grease and oil change every 50,000 kilometres. Stress is part of life but if prolonged stress is in our life, we have to ask ourselves if we are in the right place, right frame of mind, or doing the right job.” IfsMenMindBodyJobsAsksOur LivesCryGoodnessMachinesStressSakeOilYour BodyUnhappyRight PlaceParts Of LifeGreaseFrame Of MindOil Change Author:Simon McKeon
