Lost and Found

Sometimes in life, we cannot find what we need. We spend a while searching in one place, with no avail, unhappily dealing with the consequences of being there, before moving on to another place, to a similar effect. This routine is tiring, delusional, and, at the end of the day, fruitless. You cannot look for what you want. No, that's not true. You can look all you want, but the best things you find are the things you find, not up to purpose, but up to

chance.
happenstance.
or maybe fate.

This is how we find that five dollar bill we left in that old skirt. This is how we find that something we lost ten years ago. This is how we find our true love.

These are the pleasant surprises that make us happy dance around our room to the music inside of our heads.

On a related note, today I found the one spot in my ENTIRE ROOM that actually has good Wi-Fi. Happy dance time? Oh, yes.

Anyone else going to a midnight premiere of Harry Potter 7? Je suis! Anyone else going to be dead tired on Friday? Oui, moi aussi!
