On a recent morning walk, I decided to check out a route I hadn’t been on in almost two years.
I was curious to see if a new walking path had been paved there.
As you can see from my feature photo, that wasn’t the case.
I decided to forge on ahead along the grassed and gravelled paths.
When I was there last, I turned left at the end of the gravel path above.
This time, the left turn was blocked off, so I carried on ahead. The path had a few twists and turns, and before long, my sense of direction was gone completely.
When I finally reached pavement again, I looked at a street sign when I reached a corner, and in my mind, it was all wrong.
My entire life, I’ve been directionally challenged in big buildings, but seldom outdoors.
I did see some familiar landmarks off in the distance, so I knew I wasn’t completely lost.
Along my new and unplanned route, I did find our city school bus yard, which I didn’t even know existed.
All in all, it was a nice long walk with some unplanned new scenery. I wasn’t at all panicked because I knew I’d eventually find my way home. We’re a small city and the people are friendly and helpful … once you find some people, of course.
