Faith Restored.

My faith is renewed in people this week.

I went to my friend's 40th birthday girls night out dinner last week. I've known this person since I started working in NYC full-time back in 1992 - or was is '93? Crazy to think back to a time that seems like a lifetime ago - especially since it was when my professional life really began.

My friend had left her wedding & engagement ring on the shelf in a YMCA while she was getting ready to come to her party. She had just cleaned them and didn't want to get any hair product on them. Luckily (or so we thought), her Mom and daughter were still at the Y, so she called earnestly to have her Mom go get it.

It was gone. It wasn't at the front desk, it wasn't in the ladies room.... We were all astounded that someone would have walked off with such valuables - even in this economy, is nothing sacred? Despite this news, we had a lot of laughs at the dinner party.

When I got home I received a call telling me a woman had found the rings and they were returned - WHEW! My faith restored that people really will do the right thing in the end.
