During the summer it's easy to ride the bus.
This time of the year it becomes important to think about what is good about it. In the morning there is 20 minutes of walking, 20 minutes to knit, 25 minutes to day dream or visit with neighbors. And then there is the fact that I'd probably be paying about $200 a month in gas and insurance versus $22.50 for a bus pass.
Yesterday I thought about how I might make heart patches, a collection of them, for the next time I need to fix holes on my "mending heart" blanket.
And as I walked down the hill to work, I paused to enjoy what is possible even within city limits...
And just 'cause: "Riding a bus is about eighty times safer than traveling by car." How to Live Well Without Owning a Car by Chris Balish.
Okay, still willing to commute by bus.
