Hey All,

So I thought I would do another one of these "Theme of the Week" thingamabobs.

If you could have any one thing back that you lost (person, object, or memory) what would it be and how would it affect your life to have it back?

This is a really tough question.  Obviously if I changed something like losing my virginity when I did, it would affect my life in so many ways – maybe so much so that I didn’t ever have Sunshine – and that would be bad.  I love my little Sunshine, and I wouldn’t want to change anything about that.

There are a few things that I would want back though, and in the grand scheme of things I don’t think it would change much about my life:

1. My first kitten Lucky.  He wasn’t so lucky.  I loved him to bits – he was a totally black kitty with a couple of white hairs under his chin.  He had twisted bowels, and he didn’t make it through the operation.  I think though that if he had made it, then perhaps later I may not have gotten Ricki.  I love Ricki to bits too… totally putz cat that he is! *LOL* He’ll be 14 in September.

2.  My Grumpy Care Bear that was given to me when I was 3 by my dad.  I guess I would change the fact that I let my daughter take it with her to her dad’s place when she was about 2 or 3, and it never came back with her.  What would it change in my life?  I would still have that bear and always be able to show it and tell the story of how my dad got it for me, going to every store, not even knowing if "Care Bears" even existed.  He found out that they did, and that they were popular because the first few places he went to, they were all sold out.  He finally got to a store, and they had one left – my Grumpy.  He said that another lady was looking at it, and contemplating it, then she stuck it back on the shelf.  When she did that, he grabbed it and made a run for it!  *LOL* I remember opening it on Christmas Day and being a bit disappointed that it wasn’t Cheer Bear (the one with the rainbow on its belly).  On the box, my dad told me that Grumpy bear was supposed to take all your grumpies away.  I don’t recall this part, but my dad told me that after going to my room and playing for a bit, I came back out of my room, and threw it across the living room proclaiming "It gave me the grumpies back!!"  *LOL*

3.  A pixie pendant and a nice shiny crystal 3-D snowflake thing that were given to me by my first lover.  I lost them in a move when I was about 17.

For #2 and #3 – It’s weird how much you can miss something, even after so much time.  I think it has to do with the irreplacability of these items.

So that’s that…
