Just some nice people in the Bay Area

 I had the roughest day today.  Pretty much this has nothing to do with a certain spot in the Bay Area.  It's more about the nice people in Benicia and my nice dentist Dr. Fong in Hercules.

I was at the post office today, very stressed.  Nothing went right today.  I was opening the car door and hit my right hand with the ring I got from Cozumel.  The stone fell off.  I could not find it.  Two ladies asked me if I was looking for something, and I told them that I lost my rock.  It's a rare rock so I was getting more upset by the minute.  Finally, I thanked the two ladies and said that I was just going to say a prayer and leave, which I did.  I had a dentist appointment. One of the ladies said that she would pray for me as well. 

I went to the dentist, and told her what happened.  I told her that I just had to let go because it's material.  Then the dentist said it will come back to you then.  I was thinking that the rock was there, it's in the pile of leaves in the parking lot.  I ran a couple of errands, and went back.

I parked on the street this time.  The spot I was originally parked was still empty.  I saw small, empty, plastic liquor bottle smashed in like a scoop.  So I picked it up, in my new shoes, I squatted, and started scooping through muddy leaves.  It didn't take me long.  My rock appeared. 

To the normal eye, it was like searching for a needle in a haystack.  I asked the creator "Appear" before I left.  That was my prayer. When I was at the dentist office, it did.
