Finding something you had written off
A random rambling about something awesome (inspired by Neil Pasricha's "Book of Awesome")
It is so disappointing to lose something special.
You rack your brain trying to remember where you put whatever it is you cannot find.
You know you put it somewhere specifically so you couldn’t misplace it. Where was that again?!?!
Over time, you finally resign yourself to the fact that your precious item is gone. You write it off, but the memory or guilt of the loss doesn’t fade.
That’s why it is so exhilarating when weeks, months or even years later, you trip across your lost treasure in a most unexpected place.
AWESOME times a gazillion!

A few of you emailed me to ask what inspired this post. After three long years, I found my missing black pearl earring. Yay!
