Ever hear some news that is surprisingly shocking or see something you weren't anticipating? Remember the feeling of awe or fright as you gathered your emotions? I do.
I love treasure hunts, the thrill of opening an old trunk or cabinet drawer and finding something unexpected. When you open the lid or drawer you find something of great value or nothing at all - it's usually a "shake of the dice" which one you will get.
Last week while tearing out the kitchen floor cabinets the return air vent was exposed. Low and behold we found a mess of balls and other toys left behind by our beloved white boxer Lily. What was she thinking as she squirreled away her special toys? You've gotta wonder "what were you thinking old girl" as she forced those toys into the vent? I wonder if she ever looked for them again, or just plain forget she had buried them there?
Life can be that way at times. You go looking for hidden treasure only to find nothing at all. Or, perhaps the buried treasure follows you and when you open it once again, you find only disappointment. Digging around the hidden places of our minds or hearts can bring a lot of forgotten emotion. Be sure you have an idea of what you're getting into - if you don't, you might find lots of dust, old utensils and some old toys that are no longer worth the price you originally paid for them.
