Wrong

many wrong choices
led me to today's moments
serendipitous
I always try and use mistakes as stepping stones. I try to remember that things that go wrong happened for a reason and there is a lesson to be learned from them. It is sometimes a struggle to find that lesson, and sometimes it isn't presented as quickly as I would like, but it's there. Wrong choice and mistakes remind me to slow down and they keep me humble and for that I am grateful!
The OSI prompt this week is "wrong." Please see how the other contributors interpreted this prompt.

Yes! So many times the path seems like a wrong choice, until ones trips over a surprise gift.

That's the way to think about it. Nice one.

Very nice, Patti! :) ~~ Your verse reminded me of my former NASA boss who once told us "We don't have problems, we have opportunities."
That was not original with him but I liked his attitude.

Mistakes teach. We are what we are now as a result of learning from mistakes. You have put it here so well.

YET....everything happens for a reason and i truly believe we learn more from our mistakes then anything actually told or taught to us.....xo

Such nice sentiments. Wrong choices have a purpose in our lives as well. I enjoyed this!

Patti, I hope that whatever went wrong was righted. I have to agree the way you do -- otherwise, wrong would be way too depressing!

I have found from experience.That some times it may take years for you to look back to find. It turned out for good. Life lessons are just stepping stones.
