Wonderful… discoveries on an unknown, less trodden path! This reminds me of these lines…”Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.”
Love it. So long as you found your way back, which you obviously did. Our family once took an hour drive to hike around a mountain. At one point we did get lost, and I felt a little panicked. We found our way back to the van eventually. 🙂
I don’t mind getting lost…..though one trip last year had me a more than a little nervous. We went up a mountain in W.Va. On the way down husband took a different route. This is NOT an exaggeration. It took less than 1/2 an hour to go ‘up’. It took over 3 hours to find our way off of that mountain. No sign of life but for a random (and we never understood how the campers got there) campground. No cell service. No bathrooms. No real roads at some points. It was a good thing we were in my jeep. It would have been MUCH more enjoyable if there was SOME signs of life. 😉
I love to take an alternative route sometimes, just to see what I have perhaps missed in the past. And this feels like an invitation to live life experiencing surprise and contentment when we find our lives moving off the familiar and secure, too. Sometimes we are in for adventures we couldn’t possibly anticipate!
Debra, this “this feels like an invitation to live life experiencing surprise and contentment when we find our lives moving off the familiar and secure, too” is so accurate to how I feel.
How perfectly wonderful. I use to do this when I was a teenager in Lexington, KY. It was much different then and I would just start driving and I found some of the most beautiful places I have still to this day ever seen. Just amazing my dear wise friend. Sending many warm hugs, and cake made in the fire. Yummy!
Yes! My husband and I do that still. We often have conversations about the things we’ve seen but can’t tell anyone about because we have no idea how we got there 🙂
That sounds wonderful my wise friend. By the way I will send review on Wednesday but it could be Friday before they post it. Towards the end of the month I would love to do a post with a photo on your book cover and the review after you have a chance to read it. It is a beautiful book. Big hugs 🤗

Right? I don’t normally mind getting lost. But even when I’m lost I usually have an idea of what I’m looking for to get unlost. Not this day.
