Of coins and a ring: A day in a life

When I say coins, not cryptocurrency, no.

While I appreciate accessories and body ornaments, I'm not someone who would use one.

I remember when I was younger, my mom has some jewelries and other accessories. I used those in school and as a teenager. Some of those were given to friends or misplaced. Or someone borrowed and didn't return it.

I was gifted by friends with rings but misplaced those too. A friend gifted me and one other friend a ring which served as a friendship ring. That was the last time that I have worn a ring and it was the longest before it was misplaced.

So I went for a walk earlier today and along the way I found a ring, the one pictured above. It's not a golden ring. I don't know what kind it is. The wooden table was reflected in the ring giving it that golden color which I enhanced a bit.

I believe it is a lady's ring or someone who is younger for it is loose on my pinky and too tight on my ring finger. So I don't know if I will be wearing this ring.

Did you lose a ring? Maybe it's this one.

I saw it glitter on the ground. At first I did not give it a though for I was thinking it could have been just nothing. I was a feet away from it before deciding to go back and check it and found out it was a ring indeed.

Could it be someone who broke up from a relationship? What if it is cursed and whoever found it will meet the same fate - broken relationship? Such foolish thoughts.

This is our coin and key and whatever holder. This is a cut out from one of the take-out containers that are piling up in our cupboard. This has become the longest holder we have so far. We have tried some other containers but it's either too small or too big but this seems just right.

When I went out for a jog/walk today, I found 4 coins which I added to this pile.

What we do with coins is that all loose change that we have in our pockets when we go home or even from the store nearby, we would wash them and dry them out on the window sill. When they have dried out, we would then place them in this container.

This is our source of jeepney fare or when buying drinking water or whenever we need additional coins to pay for something.

You see, this never gets empty. It may contain less than what it is now but it never goes empty.

This only shows how blessed we are. We may not have a lot, we are not rich but I want to think of this as proof of the blessings that we receive.

Sometimes we complain that we don't have anything. We are stressed by a lot of things. We compare ourselves to others forgetting that we are more than blessed. It's not all about material things.

Find peace in the thought that what you have right now should be appreciated. Find contentment in that and you will be more happier.

Blessings will come in many things. Keep the faith.

It's been a relaxing day for me. After my jog/walk, I went home rested. Our power was out for most of the day. I took that chance to sleep and catch on the much needed rest. It's Sunday anyway and tomorrow is the start of work week.

I haven't been as active here in read but I am more active in noise again. Noise had been my first love anyway :D

How was your weekend so far?

Napaisip ako tuloy sa ring sir kung bakit kaya andun. Baka nalaglag yun or sadyang tinapon talaga o may mga complications na nangyari. We don't know. In my whole life, di pa talaga ako nakakita ng ring sir.😁

Siguro kung accidentally nalaglag yan siguro hinanap na yan ngayon ng owner sir.

Are these coins still in use in your country? However, the use of these currencies has stopped in my country. However, our digital money has killed the use of these currencies. You rest, have a good day.
