I Was All Set...

I was all set for a long hike in a different part of Whiteman Park, but the weather took a swift turn, and I had left my raincoat at home.

I always feel there's a reason when things don't go as planned. An invisible guide who seems to know what I should do, is always present, protecting me. Over the years when I have ignored these subtle signs, situations have gone terribly wrong. 

Mostly I get a message that something is afoot, an ominous feeling causing me to pause. 

Other times, like this particular day, the weather causes me to abandon my plans. 

I always heed the signs given to keep life flowing smoothly...
