Do you feel ridiculous sometimes?

My wife and I went shopping when we were in Maui.  She loved a bracelet we saw but decided not to get it.  So we left the shop, I sat down on a bench, told her to go ahead and I’d catch up.  I slipped back in the shop, and bought the bracelet as a Christmas present.  The associate put it in a small, red satin bag which I hid until we returned home, then put it in my dresser. 

Well, six months later, I cleaned out that dresser, found the red satin bag, opened it, and took out the bracelet.  But I couldn’t remember who I bought it for or when.  So I called my wife over, opened the bag, showed her the bracelet, and said, “Who’s this for?”

She gasped and squealed and said, “You got me the bracelet from Maui!” and then I remembered everything. 

“Yes, I did,” I said, feeling ridiculous.  But she didn’t care I’d forgotten.

No matter how ridiculous you feel, remind yourself that you’re okay.  No matter how much you’ve forgotten life’s presents, just listen to your life and make a positive life, not just a living.
