Enjoy The Ride

---

That mother of mine…

Always used the phrase…so and so…doesn’t know up from down…well tourist me…lost tourist me…felt that way…the entire DC visit…never good with directions…can’t do North or South…East or West…but this was bad…real bad…embarrassingly bad…even after studying Google Maps…walking me was like one of those tops…pull the string and she just spins…

Took a stroll to the National Cathedral…those two favorite girls of mine…leading the way…the scenery beautiful…the walk relaxing…until…one of us becomes obsessed…with direction…so we are going up to the Cathedral…no…we’re going down…and the monuments are down that way…no…they are up that way…

Not to mention the bus ride to this neighborhood took us to Maryland…whereas the drive down…or over…or wherever…took us…to Virginia…it was mind boggling I tell you…mind boggling…and so it is…sometimes in life…you just don’t know…up from down…not sure…where that path…is going to lead…but traveler me…traveling these roads of life…believes…knows…there is a plan…

Have faith…keep going…love the people you meet along the way…weather the detours…learn from them…grow from them…take time to relax…and most of all…enjoy…the ride…
