I’m really really good at finding things.

Sometimes the finding is the result of lots of looking, some luck, and a big belief that I will indeed find what I am looking for. I have a bit of a superstition about the last bit. You know people are always going on about the power of positive thinking and I’ve tried and tried and it’s hard for me to tell sometimes if it worked or not but in the case of me finding things I completely believe it!

Let me give you an example. This 4th of July my boyfriend had organized a long, fun day of volleyball. Everyone had a arrived, the sand was watered down so our feet wouldn’t singe too much, and a game was underway. A play was made and some commotion began so we all stopped to see what the problem was. A player on the other side had hit the ball and his ring had catapulted into the air and then into the sand. Obviously we couldn’t keep playing with his ring in the sand, it had to be found. Some people started to sift through the sand by the handfuls searching for his ring. I was assuming this was just making the ring sift farther and farther down. It was still very early in the day and very little volleyball had been played and unless the ring was found the day would be canceled. I was not ok with that. There was only one thing for me to do and that was FIND THAT RING. I made a metal note that indeed I would be the one to find it. I double checked with the man to find out which way he actually thought his ring flew. I got right in the flight path and stuck my hands in the sand. A few sifts later (really a rather short time) I came up with the ring right around my finger! I had indeed found the ring and the day was saved!

See what I mean? I have many more similar stories but I thought this one highlighted my fun fact so well.

What’s a fun fact about you? Maybe this is a good time to get a clever answer ready for the next time you’re meeting people and you have to share a fun fact. This would be my answer.
