No Sense of Direction

May 22, 2016/Judy E Martin

I’ve got no sense of direction

When driving, I haven’t a clue

If it wasn’t for good old Sat Nav

I really don’t know what I’d do!

If I go out of a building

From a different door, I went in

I totally lose all my bearings

And my poor old head starts to spin

It’s the same when I try giving directions

Even though I know where to go

Trying to explain it to others

Really is a no-go!

But somehow, I manage to wing it

And end up where I have to be

Even if I go round in circles

I get there eventually!

I have the same problem, Judy. I used to live on the Atlantic Ocean and my sense of direction was fabulous. I moved to the Pacific Ocean and I an totally turned around. I got lost in my own back woods. Or maybe I’m just getting old. 😀

Ha,ha! I think I know someone like you and that’s my mother. Don’t ask her for directions.You’ll probably end up in Timbuktu 🙂

Oh gosh… Judy, I have no sense of direction whatsoever. I could get lost inside a paper bag.
Kudos for making a YouTube page to narrate your work. Cool. Hugs.

Hahaha! As long as you get there eventually, that’s all that matters. I’m pretty good at reading maps, I LOVE maps, but my general sense of direction sounds very similar to yours ?

  I can actually map read too, but am just so useless at finding my way around places. Even at Uni which is the same one I attended for 2 years only a few years ago, I forget where things are, and sometimes wander around for a bit!
