have you ever lost something?

You look and look for it and all you can do is sit there and wonder where it went? It is always that one thing that you need right now, an object that you have to have to get to your next destination or event or to start that new something. You sit and say okay if I trace my steps backwards I will find it. When was the last time that I had it, where was I, what was I using it for? You look and look and you can't seem to go back far enough in those steps to see it in your minds eye. You know you had it because, well you wouldn't be where you are if you didn't have it at some point. So you literally start walking backwards to find this needed thing, yeah you look foolish doing it and sometimes your friends don't even understand what you are doing. But there is one person who gets it and they can help you, you might not see them but they are there, helping you look. The crazy thing is ... that thing you are looking for and have spent a long time looking for is always in the last place you look. Isn't that the bee's knee's.

So there you are having finally found it, whatever it was you were looking for, but now you can't use it because you can't remember why you were looking for it, or the reason you were looking for it has passed by you. Needless to say you are once again standing there looking like a fool with this much needed and wanted thing, but you are happy that you found it, wishing you could hold on to it.

Oh crap there they are - I found my keys - right where I left them.
