Elizabeth,
  Yes I would agree, how you define false turns would make a difference.  In my view, the decisions one makes on life’s path were made, unless one believes in time travel, there could have been no other.  After playing racquetball one night I almost won but didn’t.  I was playing against an guy about 10 years older than me and he always beat me.  I came up with several reasons of things that if I could have done to have won.  His response was “Should’ve, could’ve, would’ve”.   This really connected in me in a way much beyond the racquetball game.  One can always look back and say I should’ve, could’ve or would’ve but the decisions made were made and cannot be changed.  I do not see them as false turns but only as turns that brought me to this point in life.  You are meant to be what you are here on now.
 
Yes I could choose to ignore my desire to return to Gainesville but it would not be false, just a different direction on my path.  At this time it is the direction I am headed as it feels right.
 
Larry
