Pennies

We all know the story - there is a rich man with two sons.  He gives them a choice, they can have a million dollars today or they can have a penny that doubles every day for 30 days.  Anyone who has been through seventh grade math has encountered this little gem and knows that the wise choice is the penny, because at the end of 30 days you will have over five million dollars.

I like this story.  I like the way it illustrates the principle that consistency yields the greatest results over time.  As I have mentioned before, sometimes baby steps drive me nuts - I want to do it all now.  But that m.o. just does not jive in my world.  Now obviously I can't double the amount of exercise I do  every day for 30 days, but if I do something little, even penny little, every day, I will reap the biggest results over time.  

Today has been crazy and this week just gets crazier (Nutcracker etc.) and penny size is about what I can wrap my mind around.

I commit to reporting on what my One Cent Wonder for today is.
