Dimes From Heaven
To prove my point, last April I was fortunate to travel to Australia to visit some dear old friends. I told my friend about the dimes and the very next day I woke up early and decided to go for a walk. As I went to put on my tennis shoes, there in the heel of one of the shoes was a dime! Mind you this shoe had travelled several thousand miles upside down in my suitcase and was the first time I'd worn them since I got to Australia. The next day, as we were touring the lovely city of Brisbane I went to pick out a table at one of the many pubs we visited and was drawn to a table. As we approached, lo and behold, I find a dime on the table! In a country that has different currency and where it isn't customary to tip in the first place! Needless to say I was delighted and my friend was amazed.
So fast forward to last weekend. I guess i was feeling a little bitter and when I found yet another dime on my bedroom floor I said SO WHAT?? It's just a dime and it doesn't mean anything. Maybe finding a stupid dime is nothing more than finding a stupid dime!!! On Monday I shared my story with 2 of my confidants and was still convinced it didn't mean anything. On Tuesday morning as I was getting ready for work I dropped the lid to my hair spray and bent over to pick it up. While down there something on the carpet (that I'd vacuumed 2 days before) caught my attention ... Wrong it wasn't a dime! It was a tiny silver bass guitar earring. My husband was a bass player. I don't ever remember even owning a pair of bass guitar earrings and here I am staring at this tarnished little piece of silver in the palm of my hand as my eyes started swimming with tears. The next morning I found 2 dimes in front of my side of the bed, smiled and didn't question where they'd come from this time.

I also find "dimes" John's mom had passed before. whe always delighteed in fnding pennies.. heads up... so when John was on his journey. I asked him.. what you will leave for me to find? He said pennies.. I laughed and said how will I know if the penny is from Mom or U? The next morning I walked into his room and on the windowsill was a shindy dime.. I too have found dimes.. in places I had just cleaned. or in odd places.
I also found an earring I had lost.... i had cleaned and even washed the rug and there it was glinting up at me..

Ah Angie, I am learning to never ignore the signs. It seems like when you do, they become more prominant then ever. I sometimes think Keith is hitting me over the head until I acknowledge it. LOL

I love this story! I told my granddaughter the same thing but I used "coins". She looks for coins all the time now, and finds them. Thank you for sharing this!
