607: So blessed ...

Blog disclaimer:

This little daily blog is usually visual, mainly artwork.

So you can skip to artwork below, but ... 

yesterday, I, through whatever lapse of whatever...lost my purse.

Not an earth-shaking calamity, in the overall complexity of life.

I still have my limbs, family, health and blessings.

So I tell myself, to deal, cope and handle it.

What I don't have is my drivers license, 

2 credit cards (I only use 2), 

cash (more than I should have been carrying, but in my defense, 

I was on Grandma TLC duty ...

and you never know what you might need), 

an un-cashed check,

my health and Costco card, AAA card, library card, 

12 gift cards (I know, I know they should have been left at home) 

my Sensa brush & stylus, my favorite pen, 

eye drops, breath mints, my i-phone and business cards. 

It feels like it's here somewhere, 

but please believe me when I say I have looked everywhere.

I had  checked the car, under my seat, back seat ...

everywhere in sight.

I even retraced my stops. 

Yesterday, I drove (without a license) back to each stop 

... expecting it to be waiting for me. 

Yes, I called my cell phone and it ...

cheerfully told me to leave a message.

I had it when I paid $10 to park, 

and $8 to attend my Grandson's bb game at 11 AM.

I looked up what to do when you lose your license

and it let me know I was in for, and I quote,

"full on doom"!

I checked the two credit card accounts for activity ...

and there was none.

I knew I should close all of the accounts, 

but I had this gut feeling that it would turn up.

I decided to sleep on it, waking at 4AM, 

 rechecking the accounts with the same results.

Just now, as a last ditch effort ...

before buckling down to a day of ... 

notifying credit card companies and all the fun that would entail

... I backed my car out of the garage.

On hands and knees I reached under the drivers seat,

the back seat, trunk and went around to the passenger side.

From the back seat, on my knees ...

I reached under the front passenger seat.

At first nothing, but then I felt a strap, I was frozen ...

I reached more and grabbed my small black purse.

Words can't convey my relief, joy and yes, tears.

To be honest, when I started this post, the title was "%$#@".

When I came back in, I started to delete the entire post,

but then I changed it to "so blessed". And I am.

A smile for Tuesday ...
