I DON’T CRY OVER NOT DRIVING A CAR
Eventually, my abilities to drive seemed questionable.
Folks like me were called unsafe and high-risk drivers.
So, I decided to sell my car to CARMAX and stop driving.
It was not as difficult as it might first appear.
No more fluctuating gas prices, no more auto insurance,
no more DMV notices, no more expensive auto repairs.
Making the decision to stop driving was cost savings
No more driving a car to go for groceries,
for basic essentials, to see a doctor, to go to a bank.
Now, family members, neighbors and friends
are kind enough to drive me somewhere, sometimes.
I reach out to Uber or Go-Go or Senior Center transportation,
for some groceries, for basic essentials, for a doctor,
for a dentist, to enjoy myself at a Senior Center.
I can reach out to Instacart, Go-Go or Door Dash,
for convenient home deliveries to my very front door.
This has been another transition period in my life for adjusting,
to enable me to continue living a healthy and creative lifestyle.
Good luck to all of you when you stop driving.
