I need tissues...

As you can see, I have edited this post. Thanks for comments, they helped!

Oh, You know what...?

I am so pissed off and upset right this minute. Actual tears are on their way down my face. We got a GREAT (and quite rare) donation at the shop a few days ago. Some beautiful ornaments that I duly washed and checked up on and priced up and then put out in our cabinet of "precious things"... And within two hours of hitting the shelves they had been stolen. By a regular customer. There were only regulars in this afternoon, so I know THAT much. I am actually reduced to tears. For shame.

So, I am grateful for my meditation this morning, which went well, and is perhaps the only thing keeping me from plunging into despair...
