Doing Without
September 26, 2008
My car is at the repair shop to be worked on tomorrow. Right now I have no mode of transport except my feet (and maybe a rusty bike in the garage). There is a feeling of being unbalanced. Something I’m used to having near me at all times (my car) isn’t there now. This is a good feeling.
Not being able to drive wherever I want does limit my freedom. That’s not the good part, because BLDB is all about increasing freedom. The good thing is that having something I’m used to suddenly gone adds drama to my boring life. It forces me to think creatively about alternative ways to get things accomplished. Or even to reconsider the need to accomplish things I’m used to doing by habit.
