I know that we're all "pinching pennies" and literally "counting pennies" instead of dollars these days and with that said, we still need to find JOY and HOPE!
So this is a hint in spreading joy and hope that will bring immediate joy to your heart which is so important in surviving tough times! Remember the Beggar's Rhyme that we hear during the holiday season?
"Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat,
Please put a penny in the old man's hat;
If you haven't got a penny a ha' penny will do,
If you haven't got a ha' penny, God bless you!"
~Beggar's Rhyme
Joy in finding shiny pennies or any penny has long been a tradition of 'good luck' and emanates feelings of hope and joy!
So why don't you SPREAD that JOY this holiday season in a very simple way... give the gift of JOY every day! Make someones lucky day! Let me ask you... don't you experience a feeling of hope and joy when you find a penny in the parking lot at the grocery store or outside the bank or any where? I, personally, look at it as a sign of hope that there is always more money to come... maybe not as quickly as we would like but finding a penny ALWAYS sparks joy and hope in my heart!
When you get pennies in change, don't put them in your pocket or let them fall to the bottom of your purse... instead, on your way to the car, drop them on the sidewalk on the street where you're parked or in the parking lot as you leave the grocery store or the mall... on the way to the rest room at the coffee house...
This "little gift" is sure to make someones day in bringing joy and hope and I guarantee that it will bring good feelings to your heart and a smile to your lips.
You know, it truly is the "little things in life" that really count!
Happy Penny Scattering!
