On Friday at lunch, the group (sans Mike) was sharing “found money” stories, and Anja told one about a friend who found 250k in a briefcase on the bus. Turned out to be an old guy’s life savings and the friend received 25k as a reward. I said when I found money, I went to the supermarket and bought peanut butter for the charity box. I felt stupid for having shared that, and that night I dreamed that as I stepped onto a bridge, I saw a dirty penny in the gutter. I didn’t want to touch it but forced myself to because if the universe sends money, it’s your obligation to pick it up. And there was a second dirty penny, and then I saw it was actually a little stash of money and a bit of digging produced a couple of pieces of jewellery and a lot of bills and I said to myself, “Damn-I have to spend all this on peanut butter!”
