Life through the eyes of emery

If you're not born with it, put in the extra mile

I've been putting extra effort for the past few weeks to work on my sense of directions. Known to have a bad sense of directions, I have decided that this year I will truly make an effort to work on it. I figured, if I'm not born with it... I'd just have to walk the extra mile. If it takes someone a step, I'd take two. If it takes two, I'd take three. I don't believe it's impossible. It's all in the mind - if you think you can, you can.

I now have little pieces of paper with hand-drawn maps and some with descriptions all over on how to get to certain places. Yes it's embarrassing but I have to start somewhere. In fact, a friend of mine commented it's because of my blur-ness that my life is actually made more interesting. How many people actually have interesting stories about how they get to work? For most, it'd just be a routine from point A to point B, but not for me. ;) I've already had 4 different stories about how I got to work for my first 4 days, and oh how I've discovered new routes along the way. And every little success getting somewhere is an achievement for me, brings me so much joy whereas for another, it's just another day of driving around. Not everything is as bad as it seems :D - ooh, I'm becoming pretty optimistic too!
