Life is about Timing

By the end of last year I had lost my peace of mind, my ability to laugh when things got me down, my ability to roll with the punches. I was hurt, upset, sad, jaded and worried about the future.

On New Years Eve, as I hurriedly got ready, I suddenly noticed that I was wearing only one earring and had misplaced one of my favourite earrings. I searched high and low for it but couldn’t find it. Just then my friends arrived to pick me up and so I stopped looking for it, found another pair of earrings and left as I didn’t want to keep them waiting. As I sat in the car and looked out, I felt sad at having lost my earring, it seemed like the icing on the cake. Each time I believed that things could not get worse, they would. Everything that could have gone wrong had in the past week, and I was really sick and tired of things. But then I figured that I should not dampen everyone else’s mood by whining. So I made a conscious effort to forget about everything and enjoy myself.

I had a lovely New Years Eve celebration and fell asleep in the wee hours of the morning at a friends place.

When I woke up on 1st Jan 2008, as I sat up in bed and looked at the pillow I found my lost earring lying there. I have absolutely no idea how it got there. It’s completely bizarre since I lost it at my place and I found it at a friends place. But I think its sign, maybe this year I’m going to find those things I lost last year….I think there's hope still…
