Economic Stimulus Jar

The last words I read in a book last night came in the form of a quote from Einstein. "You either look at nothing as a miracle or everything as a miracle." (Read happy stuff before you go to sleep. Changes your morning. I'm tellin' ya.)

I woke up differently today (It was like: miracle miracle miracle and that was before I even got to the bathroom where my cyclamen is pumping out blooms) and it got me thinking. What if, every time you hear someone making reference to 'the bad economy' (or words to that effect), you join me in putting a nickle in a jar on your counter.

If you find yourself uttering these sort of words, I think you should put in a quarter.

For myself, I'm already in for thirty-five cents. Two conversations used the ugly words just this afternoon and I didn't even watch TV and I think I slipped up once myself. I'm not saying this is going to alter our reality, just possibly change our perceptions.

Let's see how this goes. We'll check back in a month.
