lucky penny

Walking with my daughter her hand slipped from mine as she bent towards the sidewalk with an urgency born of discovery. Standing proudly she displayed a lucky penny poised in the air between her fingers. For all its commonness, the simple discovery created a moment of good fortune. This is how I felt at the moment my husband declared a family vacation. With minimal planning and high hopes we are embarking on an adventure that promises a welcome change from the predictable rhythm of our everyday routines and the good fortune of extra time together.
