i am under the firm conviction that whenever you lose something, you find it only when that item wants to be found. a couple months ago i lost my chapstick and started looking in every pant pocket i could. nothing. so i just went and bought some new chapstick. a week later i lost that one too. again, i looked everywhere and couldn't find it. so i just settled and knew that they'd both be found when they wanted to be. well, today i put on a pair of slacks for a class presentation, and sure enough there was one of the chapsticks. then, i opened my backpack and saw the other one. i had checked those pants before, and i had been in and out of my backpack several times and saw nothing. this time however, my chapsticks wanted to be found, and sure enough they were.
another instance that proves this is last week Boy was looking for a text book. and frantically looking for it because he needed it bad. after he had looked everywhere for a long while me and tom both told him not to worry. it'd appear when it wanted to. the next morning, there the book lie, right on Boy's desk. on top of everything. and i'm pretty sure Boy had checked that very spot at least half a dozen times.
over the years i've learned to not get frustrated when i lose things. eventually they'll appear. but not until they want to.
