Another interesting and challenging prompt to exercise my mind!
According to the dictionary, a treasure can be something of great worth or value and also a person esteemed as rare or precious.
The image that first pops into my head when I hear the word ‘treasure’ is the stereotypical buried gold coins, pirates and desert islands. But then I start thinking about people who are classified as ‘treasures’. These could be friends, family, or someone who is viewed as a ‘national treasure’. Here in the UK, the Queen was considered a national treasure by many people.
On a more personal note, I think of people who I treasured who have died and I still feel their loss to this day. There are also those past relationships and friendships that I valued but, for a variety of reasons, didn’t last.
But when it comes down to a physical treasure that I have lost, I have to confess to losing my engagement ring fairly recently. In my head, I haven’t actually lost it; I’ve misplaced it! I do believe that it will turn up – misguided optimism, possibly?
Do you have a lost treasure?
On a different note, I was surprised to receive this message from WordPress:

It was accompanied by the image below! Only another 28 days to go!

Same as you—loved ones who are now gone and relationships lost. I hope your ring turns up. The chances are nonzero!

Well done on getting that message from WordPress! We have a big old house so things tend to disappear and turn up when we aren’t looking for them like the meat thermometer which had been stored somewhere that seemed a good idea at the time!

I know exactly what you mean, Marion. I’m a great believer in putting things away, in a safe place. The only problem is, that further down the line when I need them, I can’t remember where the safe place might be!

Oh, I hope the ring turns up! I’m sure it will, probably when you’re looking for something else entirely.

So do I, Helen! I think you’re right that the ring will turn up when I’m not looking for it. Have to hope so, anyway!

I do hope so! Fingers crossed but I do have a very strong feeling that will the ring turn up. Misplaced optimism maybe? Thanks for taking the time to read and comment.
