Wayne Dyer was famous for this saying…
(notice how his words so cleverly rearrange)
He said:
If you change the way you look at things
the things you look at change…
As we began our camping trip yesterday
Wayne’s words came back to me
as I had a couple chances along the way
to test his philosophy.
We packed up early and were ready to go
The last step…plug the camper in and we’d be gone…
But once the plug had been inserted
The lights would not come one…
And no matter what I did..(which wasn’t much)
the lights would not discharge.
So we headed off to U-Haul
where they fixed them…free of charge.
And we had a nice chat with the man who fixed them…
before he sent us on our way…
and I thought if our lights had all been working
we wouldn’t have met this man today.
We decided not to use our GPS
It was, at first, a wonderful thought…
until Deborah asked if Tallahassee was on our route…
to which I answered- it was not!
But Tallahassee is where Bryan went to school
so we opened our windows to a lovely breeze
and smiled as we drove through the city
reliving old memories….
Sure we could have arrived at the campground earlier
If our day hadn’t taken these twists…
But…as Wayne Dyer might have said to me….
think of all we would have missed.
