I got lost driving to Cathy's house. I left dad home with chicken soup and an upset stomach. I have been there many times but I left late waiting for dad to wake up and to see if he would be feeling better. I was in a hurry so went down two wrong streets. There where two stainless steel little pitchers on the table and I thought the salad dressing was the gravie and then discovered the gravie in the other one. So I pour it on too, so I have salad dressing on my meat and potatoes and gravie on my salad! hoping no one noticed but they did. I was exhausted after working at the church for several days so I guess that is my excuse. I am the last one finishing eating I am just soooo slow but I cannot eat faster. So there I am slowly eating while everyone else is finished.
Cathy and Glen and the children are always so glad to see me and little guy is so cute. He has a sign language and made a strange face when he tasted a strawberry. Lots of laughter and fun. They think I am great because I am on face book and I blog and skype.
I come home without getting lost but when I park the car I have to go back twice to make sure I have put the emergency brake on. I panic at the store when I think I have lost my change purse but the chashier found it.
I am reminded that my prayer will always be "Okay God I can't do this alone" a goofy prayer but an admission that I am not smart enough not strong enough on my own. I pray because I have hope that from some unknown mysterious source guidance will come. Even being able to feel calm and not panic when I am lost helps a lot.
So I will drive to church, probably alone, and the car knows the way so that helps. First I will go for a walk because I am up early again today. Should be a good day.

Hey, I have been driving home from work and taken the wrong turn, and I do that drive 4 times a week,so that is not so bad taking a wrong turn going to cathies. Hope dad is feeling better today. Sandra

Taking the wrong turn is an easy thing to do and I too have done that...especially when we missed the turn coming off the Lions Gate Bridge ( going to highway 99,) and had to drive through Vancouver to get there. First time going that route. I guess one could say that taking a wrong turn in life can be a serious thing......a young friend visited yesterday and he has taken the wrong turn, to alcohol....and he could have a bright and fruitful life otherwise. I gently asked him if he would go to A.A. and his reply was no, he was happy. I said often alcohol covered a great sadness that one needed help to overcome and if or when he was ready I would help him go to A.A. So very sad to see him drink daily. He is 33. I will keep him on my prayer list and if others would like to do so, his name is Kevin. thank-you
