I have to admit that I am glad that all of my friends and family are not car free ...... although I am sure there would have been another solution ..... but it was a HUGE help this weekend as I was moving. So - it is not that I am anti-car ..... but riding in cars this weekend did remind me that I am really glad I am no longer responsible for one! :) .... and a bit ansty to get out on my bike for a ride!!!
The other reality that I am feeling (both due to not having a car --- and packing all of this STUFF I don't need) is that I can certainly live with less ----- and probably be more happy. I am moving out of a house that I have been in for about 6 and 1/2 years. And I was amazed at how much stuff one can accumulate. Stuff that I hadn't looked at for years ---- or had even forgotten that I owned .... and really my house is not that big. All of that stuff --- just like my car ---- certainly didn't make me happier ...... so as I continue down this journey I am vowing not to collect stuff ..... or at least give away or repurpose soemthing old when I buy something new --- except for shoes!!! ;) Not quite willing to go there yet!!! ;) ..... But I am finding that less stuff makes me feel lighter --- and not having a car will make it easier not to buy new stuff, if I can manage to stay off the internet!!! ;)
Well - and now off to my first car free commute of the weekend to meet my dad to celebrate Father's Day. Woo hoo!!!!!
