Do you pick up a penny?
I do and I did just recently, walking in to the grocery. It was a bright shinny one, glimmering against the asphalt.
I smiled, because to me it meant an angel was thinking of me. I don't remember where that idea came from, but I like it. In this day where to some, pennies are a nuisance,I wondered how many people would bother, or even see it?
I get on these random thoughts for this blog...
then I check google to make sure I'm not nuts!
And, I always learn something!
Today, the first thing I saw was this:
"A penny with the tails side up should be
turned over for another person to find."
I had never heard that! Head and tail sides?
Mine, luckily had been head side up.
Many people believe if you find a penny it is good luck. Have you heard this common rhyme?
"Find a penny, pick it up. All day long, you'll have good luck."
Have you heard the phrase ... “a penny for your thoughts"? Or" a penny saved is a penny earned!"

I spent some time with this piece after looking to see what the title was. I had a conversation with myself about the O….thinking that the O was the extent of the OH and then I discovered the H. I like the interaction that I had with this piece. :-)
Speaking of pennies, have you seen this?

Thanks John, I love it when you having fun . I so appreciate your coments. Thank you.
Wow! Brandon, thanks for the link. She's crazy, what they will do for views?
Today the collage isn't a square but a rectangle with such a striking composition and color choice. I really love it.
But I also liked your story about picking up pennies. I also do it always and feel so lucky when I find one. Here we too have some phrases about this but they are hard to translate. Of course I asked Mr. Google. The best translation I found for the most popular phrase was,
whoever does not honor the small
(the penny - that would be our "Groschen")
is not worth the great
(that would be our "Schilling", which is also a coin but worth 100 times as much. But your dollar is already a bill). You see I also learned something - thanks to you.
And then I loved all smiles for Monday. What a wonderful blog again, Jacki!
Thank you, Elenor. I am so happy when you like the blog. It encourages me and I thank you for that. Have a great day.
