Money Rain

Yesterday, it rained dollar bills on me. Yes it did.

The weather was beautiful yesterday so I went to my back yard.

I looked up at the sky, inhaled and closed my eyes. And thanked whoever or whatever was responsible for the beautiful day.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, money bills were falling from the sky. It was raining dollars. I grabbed them all and ran inside.

I debated whether or not to tell my hubby. And decided not to. What was the point? He wouldn't believe me about dollar bills falling from the sky. And then he would ask me to put the money in the savings. Or do something practical.

So I tucked the bills at a safe and undisclosed location. Like the squirrel and an acorn.

Today, I am going shopping for shoes.

I hope I have days like this everyday. I hope everyone has days like this everyday.

Money Tree

In my backyard,
there grows a special tree.
Instead of leaves,
it grows money.
Everyday in the morning,
I go pluck the money.
Sometimes it has dollar bills,
sometimes 20 dollar bills,
and sometimes 100 dollar bills.
And when my sons ask me for some money,
I tell them to go get it off the tree
that grows in our backyard.
I call it my money tree.
I water it daily and nourish it.
And it always grows money.
But something happened...
and there are no dollar bills right now.
It looks lonely but not devoid of its beauty.
I will still water it,
and nourish it.
And dollar bills will sprout again.
But this time,
only I will pluck the money.
