Where Is It?

I couldn't find it anywhere. It was lost many months ago and I have looked everywhere. I became vigilant and obsessive - looking in every nook and cranny - I just couldn't find it. I looked so hard and long that I became despondent and depressed. My brain was completely clouded because I couldn't think of where I misplaced it. I searched and searched. I desperately tried to remember where I put it. Then - out of the blue - (and after an hour's hike in the wilderness), it struck me. I had it all along and didn't realize it. It was so diluted that I didn't recognize it. It took a hike to clear the brain and Hoooray! I finally found my sense of humor.
