Winding Roads and Wonderful Detours
You know, sometimes I look at where I thought I’d be right now — maybe a perfectly straight line from point A to point B — and I just have to laugh. Because let’s be honest, every day is a winding road. Life isn’t a highway; it’s more like a country backroad. We have plans,…
