Things I Do #8: I plant pennies heads-up

I plant pennies heads-up throughout my home and in the wild because of the commonly held superstition that finding a penny on heads is good luck and/or allows you to make a wish. 

I like to think that every heads-up penny makes someone feel a little bit happier. 

In our house, Charlie accompanies these discoveries with, “Find a penny. Pick it up. All the day you’ll have good luck!”

Happened twice yesterday. He was so happy. 

Makes me a little happier, too.
