Lost and Found

Boy, how many times in life have you ever lost something, a person, place or thing, only to find it later and it was there all the time. Sometimes it only requries a little quiet reflection to remember where you put it or where they are. I've done that more often here lately. I think it comes from having to much on your mind at once or our ability to focus on details as we get older.

For instance the other day, while having dinner at Denny's, I saw an old friend who has long since left us. Now this is the second time I've seen him in passing and he really was only there in my mind. I have lost touch with those memories occassionally and he is making sure I find them again. This was a guy I only knew a short time before he was gone but somehow he made an impression. I'm still trying to find out what it was. I think what I lost and was trying to find was that something I missed about an old friend that I had somehow missplaced. Everybody that touches our life has to leave us something to loose and then find again because it's lifes memories that we will always have even after we've lost something.

I've lost things lately that I havn't had time to miss completely yet but I am positive that I will over time. I guess there are things that we are destined to loose becasue life is that way. Fortunately "they" say that we never forget anything we see, hear or do it's just filed away somewhere in our mind and hard to recover on occassion. That's why things just come to us for seemingly no reason and we find what we're looking for.

I hope I can find everything I've lost because I'm sure I'm going to need it sometime.
