As my thesis is pretty much wrapped up, it's time for a new blog site. Have been kicking around ideas and decided to do a trial run with this concept. In the past seven months, I have found an inordinate amount of change on the ground. Don't know why this is occurring. I've had a walking lifestyle for years, so have seen a lot of asphalt and cement and grass, but not the coinage. Generally it is a penny, but I've found one quarter and many nickels and dimes as well. It's not worth much, but it furnished me with a little lift and inner thrill.
So. I thought I would focus from now until the end of 2009 and see what other minute happenings occur throughout my day as I kick off a new life and a new decade. This will be my $.02 worth of serendipitous moments.
penny for your thoughts
pennies from heaven
a penny saved is a penny earned
two cents worth
penny wise, pound foolish
The find on this morning's ramble.
For those who say happiness cannot be purchase, I say they haven't been to Goodwill. My favorite black cotton eyelet skirt is fraying to bits; after nine years of wearing, I'd say that I got my investment's worth out of it. Went to Goodwill to find a replacement and found this lovely skirt for a mere $3.99. The photo is washed out, but it is a black skirt overlaid on tan with these beautiful cut-outs. Also found a couple of paperbacks. So, joy may not be bought, but some form of happiness can be found just down the street.
