I went through a phase of very superstitious when I was going through IF.<br /><br />But, what really spoke to me was about picking up the pennies "right side up." Growing up I just always thought that a penny is a penny and it will bring you good luck. I was a bit upset when I was admonished by my childhood peers that I was doing it wrong by picking up pennies tails up. I remember thinking, who are they to say that that penny isn't lucky, or unlucky? It felt arbitrary and unfair. Then one day I decided, the heck with them. I think all of the pennies are lucky and resumed to picking them all up.<br /><br />I still pick up pennies. Then I slip them into my shoe for the day, even heels. It is just may way. Hmm...I may have to write my own post on this theme.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06275071143469111072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-8299922539827745382015-04-07T20:02:47.847-07:002015-04-07T20:02:47.847-07:00I love this.
