Yesterday Morgaine found ten bucks on the ground as we were walking together.
After making her promise to pay for tea, we talked about what an instant little joy fix it is to find money. Paper money is always the best of course, but the other day when I found a toonie and then bought two croissants for two bucks, it was like they were free. The added bonus of course being that free croissants have no calories...
Anyway, I mentioned to Morgaine that I seem to find money much more
often than I lose it. She said that she has the same experience. In
fact, I can only remember one single occasion when I lost money. The
most money I've found at once is fifty bucks and the least is probably
a penny -- however I don't pick anything up off the ground that's less
than a quarter unless I've dropped it myself. And even if it is a
quarter I still have to evaluate the environmental conditions
surrounding said dropped quarter before deciding if it's worth the
health risk to pick it up.
My point is that with all the money that Morgaine and I have found in our lives, there must be people out there that lose money more often than they find it. I'm curious as to how that could happen. It just doesn't seem possible to me that you could leave your home with a twenty in your pocket and have it disappear by the time you arrive at your destination. That's some pretty bad luck. So if you are the kind of person who loses money on a regular basis, I'm sorry.
And I thank you for your donation.
