Here is one for you,
Walking a beach in the west country in the middle of winter with not a soul
in sight my thoughts began to wander while my ears are open to the smallest
sound.
My thoughts were about not finding a gold ring for a long time.
The little voice within said I suppose you would like a diamond with it as
well.
Well that suits me fine I thought as I kept swinging.
I got a sound some distance away at the detectors farthest reach which I
ignored and walked on.
At that point I asked myself why I had not bothered to follow up the signal
and returned the few yards to the general area and picked up the signal
again.
Imagine my surprise"when out popped a Gold ring with a Lions head mount and
in its mouth a diamond.
So be open to all thoughts and go with the flow of them.Jerry.
