Life in a Glove...

A few days back on a chilly, bitterly cold and wintery morning I was on my way to the school on the city bus. A lady just got into the bus and as she was popping coins into the coin box for a ticket her gloves slipped and fell down. She was not aware of this happening. I and my co-passenger saw her and the fallen gloves.
She started walking forward attempting to find a seat for herself. I simply made a gesture to her with my hands to pick up her gloves. Just then she realised that her gloves were missing and ran back to pick them up. I could see the satisfaction and contentment on her face after she had located and placed them safely in her handbag.
She came up to me and thanked me warmly and said ' Life and Gloves are alike, you never know when you are going to lose them ' That struck me somewhere and I made sure I had my gloves on.

I was wondering for the next few minutes the number of gloves I had lost till date and the deep meaning in the words of that lady....Mixed Emotions :) :)
