the great leslie

I have a friend who always picks up the heads-up pennies she sees. I spy a lot of them, but I usually don't pick them up. I've been very lucky in my life, blessed with good health and friends and family, among other things. So I leave the pennies, hoping someone less lucky will find the penny and maybe it will put a spring in his or her step.

But, today, as I was walking to the Eastern Prom to eat my lunch overlooking the water, I saw a heads-up penny and I picked it up. This week I have some promising opportunities, and I can use all the extra luck I can get. I'll be picking up pennies, wishing on shooting stars, and sleeping with my fingers crossed. I expect y'all to do the same.
