Sunday drives are never about where you are going, they are about the ride. Google maps don't get involved because we don't care about the fastest or most direct route and time rarely matters (sometimes we have someone stopping by and then it matters) Stopping to appreciate the landscape, wildlife, or perhaps the cows is of greater importance than the route we take. It's easy to apply it to life as well when everything gets hurried, audited, caught up in numbers and statistics -- that's not what matters. Did you stop to see the calf? To talk to people? Did you realize your neighbor was having a rough day and needed a smile? Did you hold the door open for a stranger pushing a stroller? I believe when all is said and done it's not where you end up but things you did along the way that matter most.
