I rang the bell to request my bus stop, one stop too early. Since I was early I decided to walk instead of telling the driver I asked for the wrong stop. It was dark out and I was planning on taking a side street to get to my office faster. I wondered about my safety and remembered that I used to take that side street every day for a while. So I took it while being aware of my surrounding and arrived safely at my office.
That reminded me how i so rarely wonder about my safety.
I am grateful for feeling safe where I live.
