Taking the long way

Chief Joseph Cabin

This ain’t punctuality by the book, mind you. I’m not one for dustin’ off the “early bird gets the worm” proverb. Nah, I aim for on-time, like clockwork. But suggest a 10 AM arrival, and I might roll in under the stars. Why? Because, hey, sometimes life throws two paths at you: the express lane to the cabin, or the scenic route with a detour sign screaming “adventure!” Guess which one my wanderlust-fueled compass chooses?

My point, in a way that would make Bill Murray himself raise an eyebrow, is that life, well, it does the same thing. You get thrown a curveball, an injury, something that feels like the end of the road. But plot twist! It’s just life taking a detour, maybe leading you to a different kind of “on time,” even if it’s under a starry sky, not the clock’s noon. Embrace the detour, the unexpected sunrise, and who knows, you might just arrive at something even better than the original destination.
