I'd like to state,
from the beginning,
that everything you've
ever been told is wrong.

It's nothing personal.
We've all heard the same things.
And so, it begins.

Cry over spilt milk.
If you cry hard enough,
someone else will clean it up.

Don't let sleeping dogs lay.
Take the risk and wake them.
You may end up with a few bites in
embarassing places, but you'll live through it.

And though everything that glitters
is not gold, it might be a shiny 1997 penny
which you could put toward your college education,
or more likely,
you might just pick the penny up and leave in your car.
Either way, I'm sure the penny will be happy.

Making appropriate changes....for things I have learned.

I have always had a hard time not picking up pennys....and I am a little more superstitous than I care to be. That comes from my Mother's side I believe. WEll anyway back to your write and how enjoyed it..... Very Much....thats how~~~~
