I missed a turn on the way to work this morning. After shouting at myself for being an idiot, i resigned to the fact that i had to drive 14km to make a u-turn. Whatsapped my colleagues and pottered on in the trusty civic. Surely this mistake would have been more enjoyable in the alfa. Weather was overcast and cool so i decided to enjoy the ride. As soon as i got out of the highway, i realised i had missed the u-turn and waze told me i had to go another 2.5km to make another. I was in Putrajaya by then and further from office then when i had started off in the morning. Passing a few of the magnificent bridges in the distance, i marvelled at the beauty and grandeur and promised to come back for some photographs. I was enjoying the drive and the scenery inspired thoughtfulness and serenity.
Sometimes in life we take wrong turns, and have to bear the consequences but there are always lessons to grasp or beauty to be behold if we allow ourselves the opportunity.
