My Little Green Jade Bracelet

I was performing my usual routine this morning, which was getting up, checking out my e-mail, reading my blog and doing whatever else I do that passes so much time each and every morning....

Later on as I was getting into the bathtub, I happened to look down at my left wrist and and I noticed that I had lost my little green jaded bracelet.


This was not any special bracelet, it was a cheap pseudo jade green beaded bracelet that I happened to pick up while shopping at Whole Foods Market.

The beads that make up the bracelet resemble hippie beads, and each of these different colored beaded bracelets that were offered for sale had different spiritual meanings.

In the case of the little green jade bracelet that I chose, a piece a paper which was included in the package, made the promise that just by wearing this trinket, I could expect great wealth and good fortunes to flow through the universe and make its way to me.

SOLD, I bought it.....Because;

Where the flowing of great wealth is concerned, I consider myself to be in a long term drought and it could said that my rivers have run dry. You see, I did once have great fortune and I lost it, so anything to help get it back is worth trying in my book.

Hence I decided this was just the right bracelet for me, bring it on, I was game, up for trying anything, any help in this area would be much appreciated. It was a cute little green jade bracelet..so why the hell not.

So there I was this morning sitting in my bathtub......contemplating the day ahead and thinking all the things you think about when your taking a bath;

It was then I happened to look down that I noticed that the bracelet was missing from my wrist ....I then realized I was missing the little green jade bracelet.....somehow I had lost it....Damn!

And then the familiar litany began...That little mean voice that resides in the back of my head started loudly harassing me by shouting;

"That's typical.....what a looser, you can't even keep a bracelet that represents money and is good luck...You lose everything, figures, your never meant to have money, what a looser...."

This self inflicted mental abuse rambled on in my head for a minute or so, and then I just shook it off. I continued on with my bathing, still somewhat disgusted at myself while still wondering where I might have dropped the bracelet.

I then got out of the bathtub, wrapped the towel around myself, wrapped one around my hair, brushed my teeth, puttered around and then started to put my make-up on.

And thats when I found it.....There it was.

At that moment I then realized that the little green jade bracelet had never really lost to me, because I found it in a different place, a place that I never thought to look.

Somewhere along the line without knowing what I had done, I inadvertently switched my little green jade bracelet from my left wrist onto my right wrist.

So you see..... I had really never lost that little green jade bracelet, it just never occurred to me to go looking for it someplace else.
