It comes around. 

A student of mine came in to our rink wearing one of the most interesting jackets I had ever seen.  She was from out of town, like many of the people at my work, and I was instantly fond of her jacket.  The jacket has unique markings and is a classic for sure.  I complimented her nearly every day and one day I had a surprise from her.  It was a jacket just like hers and I was totally amazed. 

You see, this is no ordinary jacket.  In order to have a jacket like this, you have to be a part of one our countries most prestigious ski schools.  Luckily her father is an instructor and what do you know, I got lucky. 

I wore my jacket everyday.  To work, during work, heck, I even wore it home.  One evening I accidentally left the jacket on a chair as it was late in the day and I was ready to go home.  I truly forgot I had left it on the chair.  I came into work the next day and was totally upset not knowing where my jacket was.  I of course told the proper authorities and was on a search.  I did let my colleagues know as well that it must have been misplaced.  I gave everyone the benefit of the doubt and held only myself accountable.  I checked lost and found daily, even three times a day.  I had to stay positive, keep lookin' and figured, it'll come around

So I was at work in the late afternoon about a month after my jacket had gone missing.  One of my colleagues was frantically running to me and was banging on the glass, which was very odd.  She pointed to a gentleman wearing a jacket like mine.  I thought, noway could this be happening so I went over to check it out and sure enough, there it was.  As I went to the authority in the building, two adults came to me and said the same thing, that guy is wearing your jacket.  I was absolutely floored and elated.  Soon after, I was able to get my jacket back.  I couldn't believe my jacket appeared in such a bizarre fashion.  I certainly let the person wearing my jacket know that I would give him a jacket if he needed but that I wanted mine back.  You might ask, how did you know it was yours?  Well, I knew the markings and one of them was extremely obvious.    These jackets were a part of a ski school and they had special marking inside.  What are the odds that this amazing gift would be found in such a bizarre way.

I washed the jacket and it occupies my back everyday at work. 

It just goes to show you that if you are persistent and positive, it comes around
