As I mentioned, I am trying to be grateful on a daily basis, as opposed to planning out what I want to write. That being said, today I am grateful for the ability to drive, to get into a car and head in any direction that I want to.
I was speaking with a friend today about why she doesn't drive, but I know being dependent on buses or friend's or her husband, also means being dependent on other people's time. When she wants to go to Disneyland, from San Diego, it is friend's or a train that gets her there.
I was also thinking about this the other day, but then news broke about the tragedy in Paris and honestly after that, every other thought took a back seat to the worry and caring you feel for people placed in such a horrible situation.
Every so often, while I am driving, I think about how lucky I am to be doing so. It might seem trivial, but how trivial is it? When we need to go somewhere, as in now, we grab the keys, head out the door and zoom away. Not everyone has that privilege, that gift. I remember how scared I was when I was a kid getting behind the wheel and learning to drive, now it seems like nothing.
The only thing hard about driving, is having patience with the people around you that believe they are the only ones out on the road, but hey, we all have our moments right?
Until tomorrow...think about something you can do that other's can't readily do and appreciate the hell out of it.
