“If you want something, it will elude you. If you do not want something, you will get ten of it in the mail.” ~Anna Quindlen
Today’s quote makes me smile every time I remember it. It applies to every type of item you can name, from misplaced reading glasses to a hard-to-find ingredient for a recipe. Right now, I’m thinking of a new novel I’d purchased but couldn’t locate anywhere in the house. Of course, it wasn’t on the shelf where I usually keep new books — and I didn’t find it until I’d lost interest in reading it. As Anna Quindlen suggests, the best way to find something — whether it’s true love or a Christmas catalog — is to quit looking for it. ~CL

Doesn’t it figure, that is always the way? Also love this one: I always find lost things in the last place I look!
