On Saturday, the mister was teasing me about how I’m always
losing things. He challenged me to find all three sets of my car keys, two of
which are perpetually “misplaced.” I was actually (surprisingly) able to locate
them within a few minutes and presented them to him with a smug look on my
face.
On Sunday, I got up and prepared to go to the gym for a yoga
class and a short run on the indoor track. I was hurriedly throwing stuff into
my gym bag, and I couldn’t find my running shoes! I did a quick search of the
only three places they could be in the house – not there. “Oh no!”, I thought, “I
must have left them in the locker at the gym yesterday.” I checked at the front
desk upon arrival at the gym, and no, there were no size 9 ½ ladies Sauconys
turned in. I did a tour of the change room, looking for them in vain. At that
point, I was berating myself for losing a $100 pair of almost new running
shoes. And that’s when I began to think, “Debbie, you really must be more
mindful. If you had double checked the bottom of the locker before leaving
yesterday, you would still have your shoes.”
A couple of weeks ago, I had googled “how to manifest
anything.” You see, I’ve been looking into the whole law of attraction thing to
help me with my retirement plans. One of the websites I found directed me to
say “I command”, followed by what I want to manifest. So yesterday, in the
women’s change room at the gym, I said, “I command to find the Saucony running
shoes that I had at the gym on Saturday and that I can no longer find.” When I
got home, for some reason, I thought, “I’ll take a look in the spare bedroom
closet”, and lo and behold, there were my missing running shoes. I have no
idea why I would have put them in that closet; I have never, ever put them in
that closet, but there they were. So I manifested the return of my shoes!
But, if I had been more mindful in the first place, they
never would have been lost.
