Starters and screwdrivers

Sometimes things are lost. And we are frantic, panicked to find them. We say a quick prayer, summon our guardian angel to help us.

I tend to lose keys. If I have a guardian angel she has one VERY large ring of keys. I have tried fancy key chains, key chains that lock to my belt and making multiple copies to hide (usually from myself). It may be because growing up our front door didn't have a lock, and you could use a screwdriver to start the truck. But I really think it has to do with every single key meaning I am responsible for some room, some vehicle, some house somewhere and maybe losing the key is a way of screaming, "too MANY things to worry about!!!!"

I really don't mind having this rich and amazing life...but I really could use less keys. (and that drawer full of keys, who knows what there for?!)

The other option is getting rid of locks entirely. (this would help prevent me from breaking into my own house when I lose my keys, which I must say I have gotten really handy at) However I might be thought irresponsible if I don't lock my house, or car. Hmmm.

I guess for now the best I can do is put my keys on one ring, keep them in my purse (don't even talk about misplaced purses for the moment) and just do the best I can at keeping track of things.

And I do find that the less I panic, the better at keeping track of things I am. And I do need to remember I am very handy at breaking and entering...and I am handy with starters and screwdrivers.
