I lost a very special, beautiful pearl -- one my mother gave me -- and found it again.

I was at a show, watching stage performers, and was clapping my hands, and it fell out of the ring on my hand. I started talking to everyone around, asking them to look for it. After about a half hour, I heard a man's voice say, loudly, "I found it!". I gave him a reward for finding it.

I've been told on here that I lost my mind. I don't know, but if that's true, I don't miss it at all.

I lost my heart to Ellie May Clampett when I was 4. Samantha Stevens, Ginger Grant and Mary Ann Summers when I was 5. Lisa Douglass when I was 6. The list goes on

Circa 1993 while stationed in Guam in the Navy working in an Aircraft squadron.

So one day I realized I didn't have my wedding ring on. Did a thorough search and couldn't find it. Kind of meditated on it playing back in my mind the list time I'd seen it and it was the day prior when I got home from work. I could see myself (in my mind) at the kitchen sink, removed my ring and watch and washed my hands then turned around talking with my wife while I dried my hands. Nothing after that. Since it was first thing in the morning I knew 100% in the house because I hadn't been anywhere else.

When I got back from work that night I did a section by section search of the entire kitchen. When I say thorough, I really meaning it. Trash, empty draws, empties cabinets, the whole 9-yards. After that I repeated the same systematic process in each room. No Joy.

The next summer we were transferring back to the states and I went to the credit union and got four $50 bills. When the movers showed them up I showed them the cash and explained there was a wedding ring that had been lost and it held great sentimental value. That if they found the ring while packing, the $200 was theirs no questions asked.

No ring.

Oh well.

About 3-months later we took delivery of our household goods shipment and was unpacking the kitchen. While taking the packing paper off some glassware there was a tinkle and my wedding ring hit the floor and rolled a few feet.

I stood there gobsmacked.

There was NO WAY IN HELL I'd missed it in a glass. But there it was.

To this day I believe in humanity and one of the packers found it, wrapped it up to be found later, and he or she didn't say anything.

I found $20.00 once, under one of my table lamps. I never remembered putting it there.

You could make a poll of it

Amazing grace (how sweet the sound)
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
was blind, but now I see.
