I lost my sunglasses around two months ago. The day I realised I had lost them, I was perplexed. "I just had them!" A familiar refrain. I thought back to all the times when I thought "how can you lose something as important as X" when someone else lost something. I realized, first hand, how easy it is to lose something, even when you had it around earlier that day, or even moments ago. I searched in all of the places I thought the sunglasses could be. I couldn't find them.
The weather is getting cooler. Autumn is approaching. As I write, I can see trees out the window with leaves going increaingly yellow. Some leaves are turning a brown hue. I cannot wait for autumn to be in full swing.
Because the temperature has been lower the last few days, I have started to wear a jumper every now and again. I wore one I haven't worn in a while today and went to put my phone in the pocket. "Wait, there is something in this pocket" I said in my head. There were my sunglasses: what I thought were lost for months, rested in my hands. When I first grasped the sunglasses, I smiled. I felt joyful. I almost wanted to sit down to reflect on the moment that I found them. The glasses were prescription and thus pricey; not the sort of thing you want to lose.
