There was a blog about picking up pennies and I wanted to share something that happened to me so as not to take up space on the other blog I will post my story here...BTW..I usually pick up coins when I see them...
Back in 1984 I was moving out of my house as a result of selling it due to divorce...
On that last day, I did a recheck inside and went out to get into the car for the last time and as I got to the drivers door I looked down and there, folded to within a space of 1/4 inch was a $1.00 bill...I picked up and with tears said to myself..."I guess this means I will never be broke"...I have carried this $1.00 bill with me all these years and to tell you that I have not been in need of it at times would be a lie... I have never gotten to the point that I would use it...it was and still has a special meaning and I have shared this story to others many times...
So the main thing to remember is that no matter how bad things are, there is always a little something that helps us keep going...for me it was and still is a simple $1.00 bill...
Take care all

1. There are two sides to every divorce: Yours and Shithead's.
2. The closest I ever got to a 4.0 in college was my blood alcohol content..
3. I live in my own little world but it's OK, everyone knows me here.
4. I saw a rather large woman wearing a sweatshirt with 'Guess' on it. I said, "Thyroid problem?"
5. I don't do drugs 'cause I find I get the same effect just by standing up really fast.
6. A sign In a Chinese Pet Store: "Buy one dog, get one flea."
7. Money can't buy happiness but it sure makes misery easier to live with.
8. I got a sweater for Christmas. I really wanted a screamer or a moaner.
9. If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the "terminal"?
10. I don't approve of political jokes. I've seen too many of them get elected.
11. The most precious thing we have is life, yet it has absolutely no trade-in value.
12. If life deals you lemons, make lemonade. If life deals you tomatoes, make Bloody Marys.
13. I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.
14. Shopping tip: You can get shoes for a buck at bowling alleys.
15. I am a nobody; nobody is perfect, and therefore I am perfect.
16. Everyday I beat my own previous record for number of consecutive days I've stayed alive.
17. That Claudia Schiffer must be a genius because I told a friend my plan to attain world peace, and he told me I have "Schiffer Brains."
18. No one ever says, "It's only a game!" when their team is winning.
19. Ever notice that people who spend Money on beer, cigarettes and lottery tickets, are always complaining about being broke and not feeling well?
20. How long a minute is, depends on what side of the bathroom door you're on.
21. Isn't having a smoking section in a restaurant like having a peeing section in a swimming pool?
22. Marriage changes passion... suddenly you're in bed with a relative.
23. Why is it that most nudists are people you don't want to see naked?
24. Snowmen fall from Heaven unassembled.
25. Every time I walk into a singles bar I can hear Mom's wise words: Don't pick that up, you don't know where it's been.

Now this is a sentiment I can really get behind................
***************************************
Today
Every sixty seconds you spend upset, is a minute of happiness you'll never get back ....
Today's Message is:
Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably,
And never regret anything that made you smile.
Send to all the people you love and don't want to lose in 2008, even me....
Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we should dance......
