So, I broke my resolution to blog once a day for an entire year. Honestly, I think that may be too much anyways, most days my posts aren't very interesting or chock full of content you want to see. I think I may alter my resolution to one very good post a week, Pictures in every post. I think that will help me to deliver a far more interesting and enjoyable blog.
The reason I was unable to post yesterday was simple. I planned on an evening post, and, was instead invited to go out. I rushed out for an evening of fun with friends forgetting precious blog plans. Later in the evening my purse was stolen. It contained my phone (which would allow for mobile blog updating), my keys, my favorite sweater, my grandmother's thimble, my lip balm (I have to get more, it was good stuff), my reading glasses, and various other objects of little value.
this atrocious theft very nearly ruined my night! Luckily I was in the company of an awesome friend, and several decent party goers who kept my spirits up for the remainder of the night. And really, what have I lost? I've lost a thing. Things are replaceable. And though the act is heinous in it's own way, I was lucky enough to avoid any dire consequences. I canceled my cards before anything could be charged to them, and suspended my phone service. I had my Dad bring me the spare key to my car, and I've replaced my house key. Only things left to replace are my phone (I have insurance on it so it will be easily done), and my driver's license.
All in all, despite the theft, I'd say I had a good evening. And I've realized something, last time I had my wallet stolen I freaked out over it much more than I have this time. I think that I've gotten better at handling stressful situations. I've learned that life is too short to let this kind of thing bring me down. In the end, no real harm done, and I'm a few items short. No big deal.
Life goes on.
