Oh, JUST GET LOST!!!!

Getting lost - something we "fear" but not necessarily should.  About 4 years ago we went to a wedding of our best friends' son.  It was up on a bluff in an area that was extremely beautiful, yet had limited signs to know where one should turn or not turn.  We also did not have the GPS coordinates, so we "more or less" followed the directions (with what limited signs there were up in that country area) from the invitation.

The region was so isolated that we couldn't even find a human to ask directions from, so we kept going in the direction we THOUGHT was towards the wedding.

Actually, we were quite lost, and as we turned down a hilly, narrow road that didn't have a sign....a miraculous thing happened.  Just right there in front of our eyes was a Mama Deer (doe) with 2 babies....they had to have been JUST born, as they still had their spots and were "wobbly" on their feet.  The Mama was in front of our car, but she looked at us confidently, knowing we would stop to allow her and her beautiful 2 babies cross the road.  It was just the most awesome sight we had seen in many years.....those cute little babies "wobbling" and trying to keep up with Mama Deer.

Eventually, we found the wedding location and arrived a half-hour late.....but we would not exchange that 1/2 hour for anything as we were beautifully rewarded in getting lost.  So the NEXT time anyone says "Oh, just get LOST!" - thank them and with an OPEN MIND - expect the unexpected.  You never know what you might see while lost!
