I was in an altered mental state today and kept wandering aimlessly around the hotel’s lobby. In the process of wandering I lost my purse. The purse contained both money and my bank card so I wasn’t happy about losing it.

But when I asked at the reception, it turned out that somebody had picked it up and returned it with all the money and the card intact. I have a suspicion that this might be due to the purse having a huge cross embroidered on one side and Virgin Mary on the other side.

Living in a religious country has its uses.

    Some people are also just very helpful. I once lost my wallet on a walk and the person who found it contacted my home address. They even stayed past closing at their office so I could go and pick it up.

    Those people are so few and far between, though. You’re probably right about the Virgin Mary.
