Looking for IT

Living in the lost and found.

I am going say right up front that this post has probably been taken over by a set of lost keys. While open to any key finding formula, none of the ones suggested to me have proved successful. In living with the pesky loss, I have found a lot of other things including a little song from the TV show Big Bang Theory invoked by the characters to make one feel better. I'll just call it 'The Kitty Song'. It goes like this...

Soft Kitty.

Warm Kitty.

Prrrr....prrrr....prrrr.

It works, I haven't lost any sleep since it got stuck in my consciousness.

I even found a t-shirt to repeat it to everyone who looks at me.

While driving people crazy with that I have found a lot of other things that people look for. I inherited that ability from my mother who was a finder as well. Her Grandfather used to whisper that the devil told her where things were because he could hide things where no one would ever look...and she found them. So much for being helpful.

People have so many things they want to lose, just ask, 'The Biggest Loser' and there are constant reminders of how to lose harmful habits and losing physical abilities.

While I have never suggested to my doctor that he prescribe ______[insert word] and then if that doesn't kick it add _______[oh, you know this one] to lose depression, just seeing that makes me think that a lot of people really need relief. My sincerest condolences and hope for health to be found safe and sound to anyone suffering acid reflux as well.

This little thing on the end of a friend's email followed me into the shower, and hopped back out with me when the hot water ran out.

There is no Way to Happiness, Happiness is the Way.

There is no Way to Peace, Peace is the way.

There is no Way to Contentment, Contentment is the Way.

Trust me, as profoundly illuminating as that is, if you get stuck on that, it's going to feel a lot like consuming an entire chocolate cake with ice cream, drizzled in chocolate fudge with whipped cream and a cherry and then, 'The Biggest Loser' is going to be on your dvr. Depression may well be the cure for a sugar high.

Maybe I need a dowsing rod...I know that works to find water, but KEYS?

Ok, here is a new approach. If you happen to find a big purple mountain climbing style clip, sporting a neon pink and green hand braided key fob with an annoying number of business key tags and a few key, keys...You are welcome to come to tea. If you do, then perhaps I will direct you to the other place I write where you will receive a standing ovation. Everyone there has been looking for my keys too.

Gratefully,

Mary
