Losing Your Way Might Just Lead You To Where You Were Meant To Be

---

​This old gal…

Drove to the city…met up with teacher friends…headed home later than planned…starting to get dark…not a fan of night driving…but knew the way…

Took the interstate…faster…easier…straight over…straight down…but…as luck would have it…she who knows the way home…apparently…only…knows it…during the day…

Saw the exit sign…1/4 mile…kept driving…and driving…seemed like a long quarter mile…drove some more…saw signs for unfamiliar towns…

Forty miles out of the way and a missed exit later…finally…got back on track…

Messaged those girls of mine…upset about getting lost…the response…Taintor 2.0…TAINTOR…never forget…

Mama me…on a trip to the Ozarks…took a wrong turn…got lost…eventually ending up…in a little town…called Taintor…of which those travelers of mine…thought…was hilarious…

And so it is…in life…sometimes we lose our way…find ourselves…in the proverbial Taintor…but those twists and turns…as frustrating as they may be…will eventually take you exactly…where you need to be…
​
And those daughters of mine…agree…
