Finding Money

I truly believe that when it comes to finding money and picking it up from the ground, it is FATE at its finest. The very instance of you noticing the money and then picking up on the ground has to be timed so perfectly that I can only use "fate" to describe it.

Today, I went to Walgreen's, picked up a weekly ad and started to go through aisle by aisle to see what's on sale and what I needed. After that, I went to the cashier. The cashier told me that I had last week's ad and all the stuff that I was going to buy weren't on sale anymore. Craps! He then gave me this week's ad, so I went back, aisle by aisle again... to put back the old stuff and buy whatever stuff I needed on sale.

Then I walked up on the cashier again. Just as I walked up, I noticed what appeared to be a lot of bills on the ground. This was near the entrance so the bills were kinda moving about (due to the wind from the door). I quickly picked it up and looked around. There was a guy standing literally 2 steps away from the money and he was in the process of paying the cashier, and another guy about 3 steps away waiting to pay. I asked if anyone dropped any money?? My first thought was that guy paying must have dropped it. But he looked at me and didn't say anything. I said Ok....and then looked at the guy waiting. He just replied, "it must be your lucky day." Wow! I actually found money! It was a total of $17, 1 -$10, 1-$5 and 2-$1. So cool!!

I thought about how odd that NO ONE saw the money on the floor, and how odd that even though there were people around the money, NO ONE picked it up. And if I didn't pick up last week's ad and had to go back to get this week's special, would I have stayed at Walgreens that long? Would I have been at that location at the very moment in time? It is just meant to be. The $ was meant for me!!
