Giving Up Money

Yeah. The idea came to me after someone plunked a huge supply of the very item I have given up on my desk, right in front of me, and left it there for the next two weeks. If I had known that just by giving something up you would get tons and tons of it from every possible direction, I would have given up all sorts of things years ago.

I have had the exact thing I am not partaking of mailed to me in copious quantities, handed out FREE in stores repeatedly, received multiple coupons for really good deals - so good I've never seen these steals before, been blessed with it as hostess gifts at events I have attended, seen it offered at faculty meetings, staff meetings, campus policy meetings, lecture symposia - I have never seen so much of it!

So it follows logic that whatever it is that I give up, I shall be abundantly blessed with that thing for weeks and weeks. The longer I "go without" the more offers I shall have! Ergo, I shall be going without money for at least six months. I can't wait to see the creative ways it will flow towards me! Of course, I suppose the minute I accept any, the offers will dry up. So I shall be resisting ferociously (and collecting for later consumption furiously).

Wouldn't it be nice if it really worked that way!
