it’s been a week filled with

lots of ‘lost’

and

some measure of ‘found’

lose one

find one

lose another

find something i wasn’t looking for

and didn’t know i was missing

and so it goes

glasses

cell phone

laptop

backup glasses

one earring

one shoe

retracing steps

using the sesame street approach

blending the good news with the bad

searching

crossing fingers

voodoo chanting

all leading to

 mixed results

and

an

acceptance

of this past time

as my way of life

happy

 that at least i know

where my teeth are.

for now.
