I had placed the mug next to the keyboard and in a hurry, my elbow knocked the mug and its contents directly onto a place where it never should have spilled: on my computer.<\/p>\n<p>I grabbed a bath towel in frantics, attempting to undo the damage of water seeping and corroding into the keyboard. I shook it upside down, used a hair dryer &#8230; banged it (slightly) against my desk.<\/p>\n<p>For a few minutes everything seemed OK .. that is, until the keys started to have a mind of their own and my &#8220;n&#8221; key completely stopped worked. Shutting down and restarting proved futile, because my password contained an &#8220;n.&#8221; Go figure!<\/p>\n<p>I know what you&#8217;re thinking right now. Something like, <em>&#8220;Aw man, that really stinks! I&#8217;m really sorry for this unfortunate accident!&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Well, if you&#8217;re thinking that &#8212; thank you! However, you can stop feeling sorry if you want, because here&#8217;s the thing: This is NOT the first &#8230; or the second .. or really even 10th time something like this has happened to me.<\/p>\n<p>Or rather &#8212; and that&#8217;s what the entire point of this gratefulness story is &#8212; what I have caused to happen to me by my own actions.<\/p>\n<p>We often think that accidents are just that: accidents. We are hands free from the blame because what were we supposed to do? They were accidents!!!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m grateful for &#8220;losing my things&#8221; last week because the lesson the universe is giving me to be meticulously mindful of my valuables has finally kicked me in the butt and left a memorable bruise. Two days after ruining my laptops keyboard, I lost my digital camera on a bus after it flew from an (open) purse I had on the seat.<\/p>\n<p>Could I have prevented the bus from jerking? No. Could I have been meticulous about my things and immediately upon opening my purse, closed it shut and put it somewhere safe? Yes. Did I do that? Um &#8230; no. And that&#8217;s why I lost my camera.<\/p>\n<p>So here&#8217;s the thing about me: I&#8217;m an extreme case.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve had my car broken into three times. Not once, but three. Each time I had too many things visibly showing worth stealing.<a href=\"http:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/2010\/11\/how-to-learn-from-negative-experiences\/\" target=\"_blank\"> The third time<\/a>, an iPad, Macbook, FLIP cam and more were taken.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve dropped my Blackberry in water, only to revive it with a hairdryer and putting it into a bag of rice (it works!).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve lost the camera lens to a $500 Olympus camera (my purse at it!). I&#8217;ve lost things that my business partner purchased for the business &#8230; with his own money.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve lost things that friends and family have given me, too &#8212; including sentimental necklaces left in the sand, like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.roadhugusa.com\/2010\/09\/the-lucky-necklace-that-cant-be-lost-or-swallowed-by-the-sea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">when I lost my friend&#8217;s old engagement ring on vacation.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve lost a cell phone twice (once, on the street and another time at a restaurant).<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and then there was that OTHER digital camera I lost when first moving to New York City &#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>See the reoccurring trend? So here&#8217;s the issue, and also here&#8217;s the gratefulness we can all pull from this: Everything happens for a reason.<\/p>\n<p>Why do I keep losing things? Because my behavioral patterns are the same.<\/p>\n<p>Why do I keep losing things to learn? Because while extremely productive, and extremely talented at multi-tasking, some higher power is showing me how to sloooooowwwwwwww down.<\/p>\n<p>If I don&#8217;t slow down when handling my life, there will be more than just digital cameras and laptop computers taken from me &#8212; because of my speed and my lack of premeditated thought at times, it could very well be my life someday.<\/p>\n<p>There is a reason we &#8220;are careful.&#8221; I&#8217;m grateful that I can just say I&#8217;ve lost a few pieces of electronics versus something far more valuable and irreplaceable.<\/p>\n<p>Since last weekend, I&#8217;ve been thinking more. I&#8217;ve had more pre-action thoughts, and I&#8217;ve literally said out loud to myself to &#8220;slow down&#8221; and to &#8220;pause&#8221; between activities.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, old habits die hard. But at least I&#8217;ve acknowledged the hardest part &#8230; the problem. And for that recognition, I am grateful.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Thank you all for reading this week&#8217;s gratefulness post!
