Gratitude Challenge: Day 5

I first took this challenge in November 2014 and I think now is a good time to revisit it. Click here for a list of the Gratitude Challenge prompts.

Day 5: Transportation I don't drive and I'm grateful that, where I live, I don't have to. Chicagoland has very good public transportation. I just made lunch plans for two different dates with two different friends who live 25 miles apart. These women don't even know one another. Yet the conversations went pretty much the same way, coordinating when our trains and buses arrive.

It occurs to me that both of those women have cars but they choose to take public transportation. Better for the environment and cheaper, with gas prices what they are and parking costing what it always does.

  1. It's good that you have your transportation all worked out. My granddaughter got an admissions packet today from the University of Chicago. She toured California colleges like her brother. He is going to the local university. She wants to go away to school. She is not afraid to use public transportation. She took a train to Santa Monica and then bus transfers to where she needs to go. Some book thing. So, she will do fine when she goes away after she graduates next year! I already did my Sat 9 because I will be busy this weekend. Enjoy yours!
