Oh! How I am a creature of routine.  I think as humans we all like it.  And we can get in such routine, we function on autopilot.  Have you ever driven home and not remembered the drive? Been there!

So, being a routine kind of girl, it makes me frustrated when there is road construction and I can’t take my normal route.  The guys shuffle all us cars down a new street and we have to weave through neighborhoods or wrong way streets.  Just not my ideal situation.  But maybe with that detour I see a new little shop I had not heard of?  or a cute house with the greatest curb appeal? Or what about that awesome tree-what kind is it anyway?  So many new things.  All in all the detour is blessing me with all this newness.  It’s like getting glasses if I had bad vision?

As I walk through this earth school, I need to realize the detours of life are growing and expanding my awareness as a human just as the driving ones.  If we want to evolve, we have to welcome the detours and break free from the autopilot. There is so much newness out there to continue to awaken us!  Think about what detour you took this week?
