Misplacing daily use items

My day...today...misplaced my debit card...didn't realize it until I got to the register after shopping to a full cart.  Used a different debit card and pulled apart everything looking for missing debit card before I left parking lot.  



Got home, dropped keys. So now I have a missing debit card, missing keys. A full cartload to unload and put away. I got everything put away.


Dumped purse for a THIRD time, found the missing keys. When I checked my shorts pocket for the missing keys, I found the missing debit card. 


Here's to success and recognizing that anxiety really does help in these cases...it alerts you to 'danger, danger, danger'.  A cool glass of water in this heat has helped me find the calm and comfort of all is well at the moment.

when i have days like this, addressing the anxiety before i start searching for the missing items often eases the search process. i can work smarter instead of harder. i tend to make the messes worse when i start working harder. like a toddler trying to force a puzzle piece into the wrong spot.

I left my debit card at Macy's the other day. They saw it on the counter and I got it back.

Forgot my sunglasses at Ulta Beauty. Girl reminded me to take them.

Misplaced my keys. Found them.

I would forget my head if it wasn't attached to me.lol
