Today I was taking a walk and something shiny caught my attention in the grass. I looked down and THERE I saw a LUCKY PENNY! It’s ALWAYS a good day when we find a Lucky Penny!
I smiled super big. This was such an odd place to find a penny next to the sidewalk in the grass. For those of you who might not know, in America if you find a penny and usually it should be “heads up” it means “Good Luck!” Also, as you see on the penny it says, “In God We Trust.” So, if you have been going through challenges in life, it is a reminder to Trust in God, he is watching over you. Or I’d like to think my Guardian Angel wanted me to know he/she is working hard on making dreams/wishes come true, have FAITH and do “my share” to make things HAPPEN!
I do feel that LUCK is when OPPORTUNITY meets PREPARATION! We help create our own luck along with the Universe sending us a few miracles/surprises along the way.
Not far from the penny this FUNNY BUNNY appeared. How is that for a rhyme and he didn’t dash off, he just stood there.
Years ago, I read a very interesting book called, “There Are No Accidents: Synchronicity and the Stories of Our Lives,” by Robert H. Hopcke. I was reminded of that book today. If you have a chance try and read it. Hopcke interviewed different people who had curious events happen in there lives certainly synchronicity was at play.
LUCK seems to be on my mind lately. Recently, while in Ireland, I came across this Fairy Dust in the Tourist Shop. After I shook the jar, made a few wishes… WELL, I had to buy it. It just seemed like FUN!
So, I am sharing my WISHING JAR with YOU!
Make a WISH and SHAKE THE JAR in your mind. Let’s give the Leprechauns and Fairies something to do.
GOOD LUCK with your wishes!
“Find a penny, pick it up; all day long you’ll have good luck” – one of my favorite lines from the movie “Grease” – I can still hear Frenchie saying it. Nice post and photos!

We have a yard full of four leaf clover. I personally never find them but my husband can walk through and look down and find two or three together. Shoot. I can look all day and never spot one. Regarding luck, I don’t know but it’s fun to think about. Like Fairy Dust. And Wishing Jars. Probably both put good thoughts out, almost like a prayer or a praise. So, what could be wrong with that. And add some hope. A fine recipe.

How fun, four leaf clovers in your back yard. Well, sometimes when we are pursuing our dreams, which is hard work, it is nice to feel that there is a little bit of LUCK that will come our way. There is a saying that “Luck = Opportunity + Preparation. Basically, we create our own luck. BUT it doen’t hurt to shake the Fairy Dust, which might be silly, but keeps us smiling, full of hope, determination and excitement about life. Where there is a will, there is a way, right! Ok, off to shake my Fairy Dust…

I’ve long believed that loved ones leave coins for us, as a sign! I have found many a coin in weird places where they hadn’t been before 🙂

So true! I like that idea of a loved one leaving a coin for us. I guess we should start leaving coins for them too! 🙂
