What have you found that you misplaced years ago?

[Lioness~]

A lot of newfound joy and focus

A lot of gratitude, to both myself and God.
A lot of laughter of very small things.
A lot of deeper strength.
A much lighter and happy road now after the deepest crisis I had.
But I start to see the results of that immense and deep transformation that happened.
In retrospect I managed really, really well. And I learned a lot of things.
Some new, some knowledge I already had, has deepening profoundly.
A lot of forgiveness for the people who was rude during the journey.


As they say "Difficult roads, leads to beautiful destinations."

I’m seeking a stack of original Nature Company, Nature Sound CDs, which were not tossed, so I hope they will be found eventually as I clean my office out which currently serves as an office storage room.

I'd like to say my sanity, but truth be told, that's still missing

I'll cop to having wandered the downstairs of my house this morning with a coffee cup and a plastic bag in one hand, wondering where the plastic bag of stamps and address labels had got to...

My fiancee once used the torch on her iphone to try and find her iphone in the car.
Was not until I came out to car and pointed out her error she realised what she was doing.

think she lost her sanity that day

Yah I think the brain just slips a cog now and then and does the best it can with what it remembers of the original instruction: look for... let's see... there was something...

I'm pretty sure that on that morning when I'd thought to drop a note to a friend and was already clutching my collection of stamps and address labels (along with the mug holding what remained of my first cuppa java), what I had meant to be looking for was a pen.

Usually once I've notecards in mind, my brain on autopilot does suggest rounding up that bunch of stamps and labels, and a pen, of course. I suppose my insufficiently caffeinated brain's effort was admirable, no matter how laughable my inability to sequence the rest of the mission or track any progress. Lesson for me was definitely to finish the coffee before launching even the simplest of "next" tasks.

I'm often just as bad about stuff like that a couple hours after nightfall. My brain knows when it's time to retire, and does so, whether I'm along for the ride yet or not. I know I'm not alone in my family on that score though. One of my brothers showed up to a meal exhausted from a basketball practice in his high school days, autopiloted his way through supper, managing to spill food on the clean clothes he'd put on after showering, and then in full view of the rest of us when told to put his shirt in the laundry, promptly got up, shucked the shirt, picked up his empty plate, knife and fork, then tossed the shirt in the sink and put the dinnerware clattering down the laundry chute that was built into the adjoining cabinetry. He didn't even notice, just turned and headed upstairs, asleep on foot, completely unaware of our catcalls and laughter.

i'm dumbly outsmarting myself in these recent years of purposely setting something strategically somewhere (by the seashore) and then trying to find that item. I have lost 5 things this summer that were placed, who knows where?

Tired of running out of walking-around money during my then weekend jaunts to the boondocks up here, I once stuck a 20 dollar bill in a paperback book, figuring to keep that one parked like a secret piggybank forever at the end of a row of books up in my bedroom. Heh. Someone eventually got lucky at a yard sale, or else the landfill has my walkaround dough.

Now like any sensible person I keep $20 in a glass jar in the corner of a kitchen cupboard. But I still misplace other things by putting them in "safe places" I guess. At the moment I cannot find my pinking shears. They've been gone long enough I'm going to have to find them via the time-tested method of buying another pair...

buying more is sure fired way of finding what ever you misplaced.
