Through The Tulips Words of 'Wiz'dom

I’m so excited! I just got the best news via email from one of my friends back home. I really can’t discuss it because it’s personal to her situation, but I am SO proud of her. She was able to do something that I’d been praying she’d do for a long, long time, and I know this is one of the best decisions that she could have made for her life and for herself!

When my friends are happy, I celebrate their joys and am their biggest cheerleader. When they hurt, I cry along with them, even when they don’t know it.

I’m so excited that I didn’t even mind having to spend time on hold with call center services when I had questions regarding a new account I recently opened.

I think every friday should be “Good News Friday”- ahh forget that- there’s something GOOD about EVERY day!

What’s your good news for today?

Earlier today I decided that I would flip the cushions on the sofa and vacuum under them. I do that from time-to-time when I think about it, but today ended up being a little different.

Before flipping the cushions, I took them off the sofa and tossed them onto the floor, and could see that it had been quite some time since I thought about vacuuming under the seat cushions based on the dust and kitty hair that was accumulated in the crack. As I was making a mental note to myself, something caught my eye in the far left corner that wasn’t dust or kitty hair.

I stuck my finger in the little corner only to find a ring that I’d lost many months ago. As I have lost weight, my rings have become too large for me. I wear my engagment ring on my middle finger now, and most of my rings I’ve either stopped wearing, or replaced them with old rings that I couldn’t wear in the past. This ring, a simple gold filigree heart ring that I wore on my pinky, slipped off my finger one day, and I noticed it when I was in the bath. I had no idea when it had happened, or when I’d lost it, and figured it was gone forever.

I remember looking around the bed, under the bed, plus on and under the sofa, but when I didn’t find it, I figured I’d probably lost it while out shopping or something. There it was- where it had been all that time, just waiting for me to discover it.

Just goes to show, that I haven’t been vaccuming under the seat cushions on my sofa nearly often enough. Try it, you never know what lost treasures you may find, and remember- “Finders Keepers”.
