My small loss ... You're absolutely right Judith. My small loss doesn't compare at all to the greater, more tragic losses we face in life.But the joy one feels when one finds a treasured heirloom one handled carelessly is wonderful and to be celebrated. <br /><br />My wedding ring's a trinket, yes, and recovering it, is a giggle. Getting my dad, mom, brother, in-laws, two best friends back would be a-hell-of-a-lot more thrilling--as would it be to get my breasts back healthy and cancer free. There is no recovery for those tragedies that's why we celebrate the ones we can.I think you mixed your peas with your watermelons.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-27643714233755877352012-10-14T12:51:36.844-04:002012-10-14T12:51:36.844-04:00Thanks Jean.

If you recall he and his family were visiting at the time the ring disappeared. I called him when he got home to ask if the kids had been playing Pirates of the Caribbean with nana's jewelry in her bathroom and the ring had been a hidden treasure somewhere in their game? I wanted him to ask them where they might have hidden it; he was insulted. He thought I was accusing, I was not. Kids do that stuff. (I lost the blue sapphire locket Ellis gave me for my birthday before we got engaged to such a game my son was playing with one of his pals). My texting son always has to have the last text. We have a lot of fun that way with final texts firing back and forth such as "Fine--okay--Luv U--Luv U back--This is it--You win" till one of us gives up.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-61186417146586440402012-10-14T10:01:50.890-04:002012-10-14T10:01:50.890-04:00Thank you Rita.

We feel bad about ourselves and all the times our mother's nagged at us to take care of our things come back to haunt. I hated it. And then with the find, the heaviness lifts. The world is right again. I could not do another thing Friday, but sit around and look at my hand. <br /><br />So, you know where my ring is now, two days later? Up in that little dish sitting atop my vanity where I put it every night when I get ready for bed. I didn't wear it all day yesterday, I was cooking. I seem to have slipped comfortably back to my old habit. Ellis has kindly pointed that out to me.

I went through all pockets and the used kleenex tissues I found inside. I went through handfulls of lozenges--I really do overload my pockets when I'm going out--thinking I just wasn't feeling it among the wrappers. And when I wasn't having a hunting fit, I would be trying to remember the exact last time I wore it and I couldn't. It was a haunting four months of punishing myself for being nonchalant with something that mattered a lot to me.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-67138324228558117922012-10-14T08:37:39.602-04:002012-10-14T08:37:39.602-04:00Thanks Celeste.

I really thought that ring was Gone With The Wind and was contemplating buying a substitute for myself for Valentine's Day if the stock market was up. My naked finger was a constant reminded of how careless I had been. But I knew the truth. I knew no substitution would do; it would just be a highly visible, material reminder of how careless I had been. I was thrilled when that just popped up as I was slipping my leg into the leg of the jeans.<br /><br />I always cuff my jeans. It's the most practical way to wear them.I like to wear them with ballet flats OR clod-hopper gym shoes. Either way you need a cuff.

She was a very honest person so she took it to the nearest police precinct and turned it in. It went unclaimed for the amount of time required and then it was turned back to her. She had it appraised and it was worth a small fortune. She always wondered how such a fantastic piece of jewelry could wind up on the pavement..... I guess I just learned exactly how! <br /><br />High five! I am super-happy for you! :)Celeste Berginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06791708298070342301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-66193509084136561782012-10-13T17:33:36.655-04:002012-10-13T17:33:36.655-04:00What an exciting find!!

No amount of searching at work or at home even gave a hint of where it might be. I tried everything, talked to everyone and tore my workplace and home to bits in an attempt to find it. No luck and three years passed by until I came home one day and Sheila had a broad smile. She didn't explain it but eventually as the evening went on I was questioned as to whether or not I'd noticed anything. In a panic I went through all of the usual responses to such a question, commending her hair, her attire and wonderful meal she had prepared. All to little avail. Eventually she decided to put me out of my misery and directed my attention to the necklace she was wearing where there was suspended my errant wedding band. Sheila had been emptying a box full of correspondence and found it in there, obviously having been dislodged the last time I'd been rummaging around in there. The good Saint Anthony had decided to call at last.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09350381570737387904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-84400596247999386742012-10-13T16:26:36.345-04:002012-10-13T16:26:36.345-04:00Congratulations on finding your wedding ring, how ...Congratulations on finding your wedding ring, how amazing that it should appear like that. ann @ studiohydehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01615115294267727281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-39882078818575413562012-10-13T16:03:23.408-04:002012-10-13T16:03:23.408-04:00Cara Linda,sono così felice per te e mi sembra an...Cara Linda,sono così felice per te e mi sembra anche un buon segno!<br />Rita Vasellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07647144861301178572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-45512745374721799402012-10-13T15:39:06.982-04:002012-10-13T15:39:06.982-04:00I think that things like this sit like a small gre...I think that things like this sit like a small grey cloud (not a big black one)over your life.....

Is that true? Do you like that? If you don't,I won't. It was a miracle. I was trying to pretend I didn't care about the loss, but I did big time. I figure stuff like that could be my last source of support in this world. Who knows the way things go? Much too practical in my thinking perhaps? Then I am a Capricorn who intends to be traversing mountain tops for some time. ^-^Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-44376049093145340332012-10-13T15:16:11.451-04:002012-10-13T15:16:11.451-04:00Thanks Susan.
