A woman's purse!

IT is said that one should not look through a woman's purse-why you may ask...well not only is it because of what is kept in the purse but the fact that EVERYTHING is kept in a woman's purse! So what happens if one looks through a woman's purse and then decides to STEAL it? Well now that I have some personal experience in this field I think I am well qualified to comment. When a woman's purse is taken she looses more then just her cards and checks, but little things that make her who she is. I lost my wallet with all cards and checks that I owned. But because of the miracle world we live in I was able to call and freeze my account, cancel any checks that were or make be used, and get credited the money that the thief spent at the gas station and Apollo burger. I am currently being sent a new card and account number as I type this. Also because my purse contained all my keys, we purchased new locks for our front door and already installed them and we were able to call a lock smith who, for a pretty penny, re-programed and made two new car keys for my car. All of this within 24 hours of the crime. So I can still go to work tomorrow on time and there will be a changing of accounts at the bank and a purchase of a new driver's license and the essentials will be back to normal. The purse and new birthday coat are gone-but there is Valentines Day coming up. The little things in the purse are not hard to replace, but right now I just miss them, like my favorite lip gloss, hand sanitizer that smelled wonderfully, sunglasses, my planner(those who know me know that this is my LIFE! goals, events and commitments are all in that little book) and my little Book of Mormon that had Nick and my engagement picture and Nicks head shot picture in it for book markers-that will be the most missed item of all. But there are positives in every negative (opposition) and I CHOOSE to focus on the positives, because I strongly believe that we CHOOSE if we are happy or sad. I personally like to be happy so I CHOOSE joy or the positives. We were not hurt in the robbery, we were able to stop the thief of money very quickly, we had so many friends help and give comfort and in the end I come home to a wonderful honest husband and can put my head down on my pillow knowing I am honest as well and have done no harm to my fellow man( at least that I know of)and the thief, that is now wearing a very stylish coat and a rocking hot red purse, doesn't have that blessing, can not lay their head down at night without a weight of guilt on him/her until repentance or a change is made-which I hope will happen for their sake. So we have many blessings and things to be thankful for. But I must say-the old saying still holds true-don't look through a woman's purse...please.
