Ode To Not Having a Car

Because I don't have a car
I watch the sun rise each day
Because I don't have a car
I save $2 a day on coffee
Because I don't have a car
I walk up the stairs at the train station
Because I don't have a car
I've discovered my church loves me
Because I don't have a car
I deepened a friendship
Because I don't have a car
I've discovered winter hats and gloves
Because I don't have a car
I've learned to navigate the YRT
Because I don't have a car
I've deepened my resilience
Because I don't have a car
no gas, no insurance and no repair bills
Because I don't have a car
I've discovered express buses
Because I don't have a car
I'm at work early...in fact, real early!
Because I don't have a car
I have time to do my devotionals
Because I don't have a car
I shop less
Because I don't have a car
I get to appreciate the beauty of women on public transit
Because I don't have a car
I discovered the world won't end!
