Thoughts have been reeling with questions...Did someone really steal from me? Did someone really go in my locker, dig into MY bag and take what didn't belong to them? Who was around when it was done? How quickly did they dig in my bag and find the money? Who was it? Why would they be so heartless to dig into another person's belonging?......I even doubted that I may have put the money in my little bottle...but I am positive that I left at least 20 bucks in my bottle since being in a budget; I wanted to make sure that my bus money was saved in a different place so I wouldn't spend it. Normally I would of left the rest of my money home but due to not wanting to miss the bus I carried my cash bottle with me....tsk tsk tsk.. I could have prevented this....
Well...all in all.... my locker was unlocked so for one I will take the blame for taking it lightly to believe that I could trust that my items were safe in an unlocked locker. Although the six almost seven months that I've trained at the gym 5 to 6 days a week.... majority of time leaving my items in an unlocked locker have been safe...
When I shared this with my friend Suzanne; who does physical training along with me at the gym, we discussed how she herself lost her cellphone no more then 3 days before which she left charging in the bathroom/locker room and 10 minutes later found it missing! So it is evident that we must guard our items well!
My emotions are torn between thoughts of "....Lynda, you have just been given a reality check...that you can't leave your money in an unlocked locker assuming that people can be trusted at the gym anymore!" and "what would the person spend the money on? a meal for their child(ren)? a meal or junk food for herself? how would she justify her wrongdoing? how many times will I see this person's face pass by me?" "what would karma do?"
I myself did my best to restrain any bitter feelings toward the other person because logically it wouldn't change the fact that I am short 20 bucks....so I just smiled and shook my head telling myself that I can't live in cloud nine believing that everyone is trustworthy in the locker room.... 100% of my attitude at the gym is to trust everyone until given reason not too. So now I have to guard my trust....to be honest I don't wish to go through the trouble of having to use a combination lock or keyed lock every time I need something but the extra few seconds to lock and unlock my locker will save me from a little financial distress....because every dollar counts for me as of this moment...
Has anyone stolen money from you...how much?...did you react negatively or positively? Last year an acquaintance of mine shared that she had lost money herself one day and said that whenever money was lost something good was going to happen to her....which was a fascinating perspective....has something great happened to you after your loss of an item or money???
Just asking because I am curious....
