When was the last time you were asked for your ID when using a debit or credit card? If your experience is similar to mine, I would imagine the answer would be rarely. Recently I went to work out with a buddy and it almost killed me. Apparently I went to 7 Eleven after the workout to buy a cold drink. I paid cash for my drink went home and passed out. The following day i needed to make a purchase for the office and noticed that I did not have my wallet. I thought no big deal, I must have left my wallet at home. After searching everywhere I deemed my wallet as being lost. The thought of cancelling all of my credit cards, getting a new drivers and fishing license gave me a stomach ache. Hey, a fishing license is important!
More importantly, since people don't ID you anymore, I started to think of the thousands of dollars someone could ring up if I didn't cancel my cards quick.
This morning i decided to call the 7 eleven just to see if some one had turned a wallet in. What's the chances of that. Well, I guess the chances were pretty good that day. They had my wallet and I was able to pick it up today. And yes, everything was in it.
I know I was fortunate to get my wallet back and hope to never loose it again.
What I was able to take from this was a renewed spirit about integrity and honesty.
I have no idea who turned my wallet in but, Thank You.

Hi Dr. Chandler,
I just researched your office website as a result of a referral from my previous dentist Dr. Chris Ward in Owasso, who says he's a friend of yours. I happened across your blog in my web search, and want to say that I will be calling your office soon to request an appointment. Your website and your blog indicate to me that you are a trustworthy, dedicated professional I look forward to including in my health regimen.
I've just moved back to Edmond, where I graduated college two years ago, to begin teaching in Oklahoma City. During my brief year in Tulsa Dr. Ward was such a help to me, as I entered his office with a lot of fears after some childhood dental traumas. He began some long-term improvements in my dental health that my former dentist apparently did not catch, I believe due to older equipment and methods (he hadn't taken an x-ray of my mouth in two or three years, though I regularly visited for check-ups and cleanings) when I had seen him the year previous.
Obviously, I want to get the remainder of the work completed as quickly as financially feasible for me. My dental health has always been a priority for me, and it was such a crushing blow when my new dentist Dr. Ward informed me of the extensive work I needed done, because I thought I had done all I could to maintain my teeth, and his news was the last thing I expected. My fears of dentistry don't center as much on pain and discomfort anymore as they do on my trust in the doctor. Dr. Ward did a lot to help me overcome that. Your personality and professionalism evident here and on your website are encouraging, as well. I will be contacting your office sometime within the next several weeks. I look forward to meeting you!
Sincerely,
Lyndsay Suttles
P.S. Congratulations on having your wallet returned! It's amazing one act of kindness can do for a person's faith in his own kind these days!
