It's been a really long time since my last blog post. I have such a hard time keeping up on it! Today was a pretty crazy day. It was pretty stressful because I had a three page paper due and I had started it just this morning. The weather pretty much matched my mood perfectly-- rainy, wet and stressed. As I walked into my Sociology class, I found a penny heads-side up. It reminded me of the saying, "Find a penny, heads-side up and all day long you'll have good luck!" I loved that saying. It makes me feel like the luckiest girl in the world and somebody is really looking after me. Just that feeling of having somebody looking after me reminded me of one of my favorite poems:
Pennies from Heaven
i found a penny today
just laying on the ground
but it's not just a penny
this little coin i've found
"found" pennies come from heaven
that's what my grandpa told me
he said angels toss them down
oh, how i loved that story
he said when an angel misses you
they toss a penny down
sometimes just to cheer you up
make a smile out of your frown
so don't pass by that penny
when you're feeling blue
it may be a penny from heaven
that an angel tossed to you
