When I got half way home I realized my wallet wasn't in my purse. We turned around and raced back to the store. I just knew someone had picked it up and got over $400.00! As soon as I walked in the store, the girl behind the counter smiled at me. Someone had found it on the floor and turned it in. Thank you for all the good and honest people still left in this world!

First you go through denial- my wallet must be around here somewhere
Then you go through anger- Why did this have to happen to me.
Then you go through guilt- If only I wouldn't have left the door unlocked, If only I had done something different
Then you go through acceptance- my wallet is lost.
Then you go through the hard work of making a life for yourself without the wallet, you call the bank about your credit cards, get new ID and let others know that your old ID was stolen. and finally you get a new wallet.
I guess that is what you did in a nutshell, you turned a tragedy into something where you could see your blessing. Good for you. I wish more people were like you
