In my book, "The Power Of A Penny," one of the characters finds a penny in a gutter. Her grandmother tells her that whenever she finds a penny, if it is heads side up, she smiles and puts it in her pocket. If it is tails side up, she filps it over and leaves it to make someone else smile. This inspired me to do something fun on our recent trip to southeastern Utah. I had a pocketful of pennies which I would leave heads side up at some of the places we visited, hoping someone would find it and smile and put it in their pocket. It is fun to imagine the journey these pennies will make because there were tourists from all over the world there. So if you happen to visit Spooky Canyon, Hells Backbone or Calf Creek, look for a special penny and know that I am thinking about you!
