A friend once said a secret of living well is adapting to change like a recalibrating GPS signal for a new route. You did just that to build a wonderful day that honored the spirit of the original plan.

This is beautiful and a reminder that we all make mistakes. While it wasn't the trip you planned, looking for the good (and the magic) makes all the difference. Take care and continue being kind.

I’m known as directionally challenged! I left Albany once and drove about an hour in the country only to find myself back in Albany. 🙃

Well, I'd say you and I should take a trip together sometime, but I was once headed to Eugene and ended up in Washington state, so we might get a little lost. Cheers to you, Kelly!

You did not get the day you planned, but it sounds as if you experienced something just as meaningful. From what you have said about Papa Juice, I am sure he understood.
