{Day 214}

Continued from part 1…if you read that first it really will help this post make more sense.

So as I began thinking about road signs I began to wonder which one I come across most in my journey of life…it’s a toss up between detour and yield.  Ha.  For the sake of time let’s get into those detour signs. 😉  Yeah detour.  Ever been running late and come upon one of those?  I don’t know about you but unfortunately irritation is usually my first response.  When I hit a detour on the road of my life what I usually can’t see at first is that I should be rejoicing at this circumnavigation.  I’m missing the nasty AND getting to see a new side of things.  It might be the longer way but it is definitely going to be the better route.  It’s saying go around this crazy mess and be thankful that you’re not smack dab in the middle of it.  Getting your car beat up is a bad idea.  Having your life get some unnecessary bangs and bruises is even worse.  This divergence is only a temporary thing.  And the best part?  Not having to go through something that’s a wreck and still arriving at the spot you need to be at.  Rejoice in the unexpected route because you’re still going to get where you need to go.
