I will be the first person to admit that I have absolutely no sense of direction. I can get right and left wrong. Once, when I worked at the university, I had to dismiss a class when the professor couldn’t come in. I went to the wrong building and almost dismissed the wrong class. I’m a bit infamous.
But it can also work in my favor. When I insist that I know which way to go, my husband and son listen. They know that I don’t speak up unless I am certain. After all, I’m well aware of my reputation.
The good thing about my ability to get lost is that it doesn’t really faze me anymore. I don’t know where I am? No big deal. I’ll figure it out eventually.
Maybe that’s part of the reason that I’m so willing to try new things. While various of my friends are looking for a pattern to make a cute felt ornament we saw, I’ve figured out what needs to be done and a logical order for the steps.
Does my way always work? No. But I learn something from each failed attempt. And eventually I’ll figure it out.

Me, too! I get lost trying to find the exit at the doctor’s office. Where I’ve been, like, a hundred times.
