Finding

Now and then I purchase something and misplace it.  I purchased several Christmas gifts that I never located but when I find them I will just use them.  With so many grandchildren there are always opportunities to gift small cars and other items.  On the other hand, now and then I purchase an item that is critical to a project I have in hand.  The other day I ran across a white painted lock and hinge set that should be just right for the gated fence I'm building.  I purchased the only one and brought it home, then misplaced it.  For several days I've looked for it, hoping it had not joined the Christmas toys in whatever limbo they linger.  This morning I found it in the backyard and felt a surge of happiness.  I am grateful for finding things that were lost.
