* From a Facebook friend in a thread about taking change to the bank:
“We live in a neighborhood where a lot of people live hand-to-mouth. One day some neighbor kids were over and saw the partially filled change bowl on our little kitchen island. Their eyes were riveted on it, and one of them said, ‘Look at that big bowl of money!’ It put things in perspective – I see loose change, she sees money. Ever since, I’ve had thoughts of gratitude when I dump the change from the bottom of my purse in the change bowl.”
