Corn Maze

Yesterday, some friends and I took a drive to a corn maze. I had never been to a corn maze before, so I figured it was about time I go. Actually, the drive to the corn maze was about the extent of the evening. After finally finding the place, we realized that it was already closed for the night. They closed at 5:30pm, not 9:30pm, as we discovered.

By most standards, our evening was a failure because we didn't do what we had set out to do. But on the contrary, it was a success in my eyes. We had so much fun. Just as our luck would have it, along the way we waited for one train at two crossings. Can you say that that happens to you often? Nope. In the car, the four of us had great conversations about life and just chatted. Driving back to Valparaiso, we stopped in at an ice cream parlor and savored ice cream outside in the cold right downtown.

I am convinced that spontaneity is the spice of life. Sprinkled in just right, it allows any circumstance, no matter how bad, to turn out just right.
