it's a funny thing--getting your house robbed.

we now find ourselves picking things up of value (either monetary or personal) and saying, "hey, at least they didn't take_______."
and for a moment, we're happy.
what a weird thing it took to make us appreciate all the little treasures we have in our home.

my favorite "hey they didn't take" item was mentioned last night:
we were brushing our teeth with our sonicare toothbrushes that we've had for years (and are really of no value to anyone but our teeth), but i had been crying all day and probably even had tears running down my face while brushing and marcus said, through his toothpaste foaming mouth, "hey, at least they didn't take our sonicares, so i guess we're still pretty rich."
*this story might make that funnier...

When I was reading this post, I thought,"This reminds me of another post." The one that you mentioned! LOL


It is true that you feel much more grateful after something like that happens. Hope you have a good day!

as a hygienist i certainly glad they didn't take your sonicares! oral health is important, even when you're mourning the loss of other items...i've been robbed a few times and it isn't so much that stuff that urks you, just the thought that someone violated your personal space, right?

I would be on overdrive if that happened to me, but I guess it's true that laughter is the best medicine especially in stressful situations!

Hahaha I totally thought of the funny story when I read this post. I remember when I read that funny story. I thought "Ashley is a genius, I love her writing." And then we became best friends.
