Lost Wallet and Getting the Message

Hi there friends! So, tomorrow (today technically) I'm going to Mexico. Yay! But also, just tonight I realized I lost my wallet.

Now, I realized I didn't have it on hand a bit ago, but I thought I knew where it might be so I didn't stress over it. I have checked every nook and cranny that wasn't totally excessive to check. The room, the clothes, the laundry, jacket pockets, backpacks, the other places I go throughout the house, the car, and all of these things multiple times over. Even the trash!

I remember it like it was yesterday. I went to Firehouse Subs spontaneously one night and had my teal sweatshirt on. I brought my faithful wallet with me and went to their hot sauce bar to taste all their different hot sauces. They were all yummy.

Two young women went up to me on a church initiative (??) at like 8-9 pm asking for money in exchange for chocolate. I decided to get a chocolate bar and didn't think too much of it, except it was kinda sketch lolol.

I sat back down and I think held pretty good control of my wallet. I often had a hand on it, made sure it was still in my pocket. Eventually I got called out, got my sandwich, and left...

I returned home and ate it and didn't think anything of it.

Except now, well. That was the last time I saw my wallet 🤔🕵‍♀️.

Now I stand in a strange situation of wondering: What could have happened? Am I just this masterful at not being able to find my wallet (😆)? Or was it stolen very well to the point where I didn't notice a thing? Did I somehow leave it at the sun place?

I'm maintaining a relatively positive state, seeing the belief show up, "It's kind of annoying if I have to get my driver's license again and lost all those cards + my cool house key." Not to mention telling my fam the day we're leaving hahaha.

However, all the while I have been saying to myself: I know this serves a positive purpose. I know this is helping me in some way! What does this help me to see/learn positively, exactly as it is, that I wouldn't be able to otherwise?

I've gotten the answer that it's about faith, or trust in the positive. Beyond expectations or outcome. I've gotten the answer that it's about letting go and surrendering, and allowing myself to see that things I thought were a big deal aren't actually as problematic or as big a deal as I thought they were. In other words: "take it easy, it's all good, the small things in life don't matter as much as you think they do in the long run."

I'm usually very chill about these things, and while I'd say I'm exceptionally more chill than most people would be in this circumstance hahaha, it's still kicking up beliefs of, "Aw man. Really?"

So what do y'all think? What can I receive and learn from this in a positive way, exactly as it is?

I swear if my wallet miraculously shows up somehow or Firehouse Subs STILL has it five days later and I somehow lost it there I will be so utterly thrilled bahaha.

So glad I don't need my license to travel and I can just use my passport 😁😁
