Breaking the Cycle
Ever spent a lot of time going nowhere fast? Well, yesterday I was going round in a circle many times trying to find a parking space and not getting anywhere in particular. Normally I have no trouble getting parking spaces, so this was a rather unusual experience for me. It was only after a very long while that I realised that doing the same thing over and over like this was rather like trying to make an opening in a brick wall by repeatedly banging your head against it. It hurts a lot, and doesn't you get very far.
So at the next junction, instead of turning right as I had been doing every other time, I turned left instead. Lo and behold, after going down a few winding streets, a parking space appeared! Oh, you've no idea how grateful I was for that! Such a simple thing, and yet sometimes the simplest things are the best.
This reminds me of something that I had written about before in my previous blog Inspiration, Not Expiration about going left instead of right. One Valentine's Day in 2005, a monkey decided to take a leap into the unknown :)
I think it just goes to show, we have choice but not control. And it's the choices we make that makes the difference.

You're right, in the episode that you're talking about, Donna turned right instead of turning left... but I won't spoil the storyline for you. It's good! You should watch it!
