Penny In My Pocket

This blog idea came about during an experience at a diner not too very long ago. Tamar and I were finishing up our meals when I reached into my pocket and pulled out its contents. Holding out to her in my outstretched palm were 3 pennies (1 of which was hardly recognizable as a coin), a nickel, a large orange paper clip, and a used matchstick. We spontaneously began laughing...laughing so hard that tears rolled down our cheeks. With so little in my pocket I felt blessed. Blessed for the company of Tamar, blessed that we are able to appreciate the little things, blessed that in another pocket I had the money to pay for our meal.
It isn't unusual for me to have an 'odd' assortment of items in my pocket at the end of a day. Pennies I find...yes, I retrieve each and every one I see on the ground after ensuring it is 'heads up', at times kicking it over and again to get it into that position. Small stones are a favorite pocket filler, as are notes, nickels, and of course...paper clips.
To share the good fortune I find daily I thought I should begin a blog. To make sure I share through a blog is the work of Tamar. Without her, I would be blogless.
