Have you ever been so sure that you knew where you were going, that you took off with no help from your gps? You don’t call the place or ask anyone because you are 100% sure of where you’re going? I mean you were rolling along good, until suddenly nothing looks familiar?

I must admit I’ve never been that great with geographical directions. As a young driver my sense of direction was horrible. I was elated when technology took over and made it a lot easier for all of us, and I make sure I always use it!

Most of us grow up with our parents charting our every move until they felt we were mature enough to make smart decisions on our own.

Remember how we couldn’t wait to be an adult, so we could run our own lives? Well in the long run, that’s not all it’s cracked up to be.

The more responsibilities we take on the higher the stakes are if we don’t make the right choices.

I have been adulting since the age of 19. As I turn yet another corner I am staring down year 49 like where did the time go?! I understand more now than ever that the rules of adulting are always changing.

As soon as you think you’ve got this thing down, life throws you a curve ball. Then, once you’ve settled in there, it’s not long before the balls start coming in zigzagged!
