Find lucky pennies every day

Found: dec 26 2006

...here’s a good example of why i find pennies everyday: i notice the ones most people over look. (In fact, i generally spot most coinage at twenty paces or more….) (smile)

Anyways,,,,this one was in a puddle next to the gas pump i pulled up to yesterday. Date was 1988.

1988—the first thing i thought about was how 1988 was such a year of stasis for me. I’d just been laid off suddenly – VERY Suddenly, from my job of incredibly high income to me at the time. I was at least $7,000 in debt. I had broken off my long-term relationship when i’d realized he was serious alcoholic: not willing to seek help, and becoming downright abusive to me. I swore off dating until i had come to a better place within myself; this commitment lasted the next 11 years… In some ways i did absolutely nothing in the first 9mos of that year,,,i really cant recall how i spent my time. But in the Fall, i re-applied to my Vet Tech degree program that i’d dropped out of 3 years earlier, and within the next year i’d completed 90% of the coursework i needed to finish the degree. My Vet Tech degree became very much just about Finishing it….i had realized during the program it was Not the career for me, but because i’d always had serious doubts about my “college-material” ability (i wrestled with the idea that i was stupid for a very long time), i just wanted to complete what i had started. It took awhile to get thru some of the classes that my LD made difficult, but i just kept chipping away at it, until i was awarded the degree in sept 1993.

As i am right now ALSO deep in debt, just laid off (as of friday), let go of the last of my hopes with my ex-boyfriend, and have a degree i need to finish,,,,maybe this universe nudge is to remind me that altho there appears stasis, changes are & will be occurring…. My life is not stuck.

at Government Square Bus Stop
(actually in the incoming bus lane….)

Date: 1996

Memory Flashed on:
i recall that this was a year of anticipation, of building up, feeling that i was on the precipice on a new cycle in my life… In early spring of 1997, i met three people who turned staid world upside down, and began deep changes in my life….

i feel on the edge of such a precipice now, too…

...i find pennies every single day (i do believe). i’m always looking for them and other coins or found art on my walks. my friends who’ve walked with me find this annoying, because i stopping every twenty or thirty feet to pick up a penny….

and being the Synchronistic Mystic sort that i am,,,i have this little ‘divination ritual’ for pennies. When i pick up a penny, i look at the date year, and whatever is the first thing i think of related to that year, i consider that to be a nudge from the Universe of an aspect i need to think about, meditate on, sort thru…

it can be quite funnily odd when i get the same date for 6 or 7 times in a row (not just 2006 pennies either)
