  I was in my closet changing out of my working clothes into my sleeping clothes. Once I was done, I looked down and saw one my favorite earring on the floor. I was surprised and wondered how did it get down there?? I was not wearing (at least I did not think I was at the time…). It is a post earring, and the back was attached. It was only one – which did concern me, and I could not help but wondering how did it get on the floor…and…where is the other one? I hurried to my small jewelry container on the dresser in my bedroom to look for the other one and it was not there. Then I went back into the closet and looked around on the carpet, near the shoes, laundry basket and anything else on the floor, and could not find it anywhere sadly. Wondered if I vacuumed it, but I look and no luck. I am hoping I will find it by the time this story is published. When something is loss, it is natural to think about what you are or were doing at the time the item was lost. For me, I was wondering when did I take the earrings off? Did I put them on the shelf in the closet instead of my dresser where they should be?? When was the last time I wore them? Did I have them on that day? So many questions I asked myself because I could not remember. Even when we have the best intention to put things back where they belong, sometimes it goes awry. We can be in the middle of something else while we are doing it and never realize what we did. Then we can spend minutes, hours, or maybe even days wonder what happened to that thing we were looking for? Organization helps, because it made me go to the very place, I know the earrings should have been even though it was not there. For me, there are times that I do something without thinking about it and most times when I go look for something, it is there. But there are other times I subconsciously place something somewhere I cannot remember what happened to it. One thought comes to mind is a credit card in the wallet - if it is not in the right place when I go to look for it, then I freak out. Then I realize it’s in the change pocket or in my purse and not the wallet. It is amazing how many things we find ourselves subconsciously placing an item somewhere and not know it until we are looking for it. Has that ever happened to you? I constantly try to make things simpler for organization, but there will be those occasions where things are misplaced, and we end up writing about it. To this day….
A week later
Sometimes when you are not looking you accidently find something that was missing. After a few days of writing the story of the missing earring, and me looking EVERYWHERE for it, I happen to look on the floor tonight, but not for the earring, but to put my shoes back in place, and… there it was. The earring. I could almost hear it saying, ‘what took you so long??’ I was elated to see it and had to hurry to my jewelry box to make sure the other one was still there. HAPPY! But it still made me wonder what happened? How did both earrings end up on the floor? I guess I will never know, and in this case, I really don’t care. I’m only glad it was found.
