Upside to my car accident!

Its been a week since my accident and things are not getting any better! Well, I am getting another car on Tuesday but Im a little paranoid of driving. I find it difficult to sit in one position for long periods of time thus the bus is getting to be a disadvantage (plus I am still a rookie for the routes). Thus, I found out on Friday - Sunday since it was such beautiful days I would walk from south end to the north end and to downtown area to see my boyfriend. I found it quite engaging as I saw much more than I would have while driving. While driving, I noticed how much people are in a rush to get someplace. While walking I was able to experience this "north central ghetto" and how bad of a neighbourhood it is (it is not as bad as Macleans' had said); smell the fresh polluted air, watch a cop track down a man and handcuff him in the middle of the streets, along with much more. I know that I have taken my car for advantage, and I am kind of thankful for the car accident now. I really got to see the person my friend (well ex friend) is, I got to see the person I am, and I got to promote healthy living. It was really fun to walk and not worry about having to be somewhere at a specific time. Two things I found beneficial walking were my cell phone and mps player though. I would of probably collapsed without the motivation of my music playing to keep me moving (however all my music got erased from it today somehow grrr) and to keep connected with my friends on my phone was also something to keep my mind of my hurting legs lol. So, one more mark FOR technology and not against.
