I think I will purchase a new link bracelet to start a new charm bracelet, it's fun to find charms, also nice when I get some non traditional charms from others. I had one from Korea that my mom got on a book mark but it had a beautiful heart amethyst stone in the middle and the setting looked like an apple. My brother, while he my fiance and myself were exploring an old abandoned jail house, I asked him to find me a souvanier as I was too afraid to go inside myself, sure enough he comes walking out and had found a really old handcuff key. My fiance bought me a beautiful necklace with our home state logo but the chain popped and one of the small diamonds fell out so it became a new charm on the bracelet. We also look for sharks teeth and one day, after a horrifying run in with a large pack of dogs, I found a rather large but perfect for the bracelet, sharks tooth and made it into a charm. Then I lost it. It took a while to get all of that together but it would likely help to keep me a little more grounded.
I grab my daughters favorite stuffed animal from time to time. Smell it, rub its head, touch its eyes and different parts that feel different when I'm missing her (she's spending the summer with her dad) and it helps a little. But a grown woman walking around with a stuffed animal everywhere I go might set off alarms for some people.
I think a charm bracelet and bringing some like big red gum or something might help. I'll try what I can.
