Way Off Course

Have you ever ended up somewhere that you weren't going?

I have, even though I have a fairly good sense of direction.

Sometimes I get off course because I lose sight of my destination. Does that ever happen to you? Or sometimes someone beside the road asks me "why you are headed down that way? why not go this way?" . . . and I begin to wonder . . . why am I?

It then takes some back-peddling to get back on the upper road that I was traveling.

And then sometimes I realize that I totally missed a turn that I thought was a shortcut to my goal. So I step backwards and turn right and BANG! I'm way off course! It wasn't a shortcut after all! It was a road to somewhere else.

I've always had a destination in my dreams, but somehow I missed the sign that told me the bridge was out. I missed the signs that I need to stop and rebuild the bridge, so I can cross and continue my journey.

That's what I feel like today. Way off course. So tomorrow is a building day!

...and how did your building day go? Did you get back on track?

I always get back on course. Sometimes it takes me a day or two . . . . sometimes longer . . . but I am always able to yank myself back to where I should be.

I am way off course this time . . . but I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Now, if this damn computer will survive so I don't have to buy a new one right away!
