I put on my ski pants this morning and found a dollar in them. Knowing that the dollar had been there since last ski season made it seem a little more valuable to me. This says something about expectation theory. If I had been looking for a twenty dollar bill from yesterday, and found only a single dollar, I would have been disappointed. It's not the dollar that matters so much, it's the pleasant surprise of getting it.
As I sit here in the Christmas spirit, I think it would be nice to be the deliverer of pleasant surprises. It is a habit, I guess. A matter of slowing down the world and looking about for opportunities. They shouldn't cost much, perhaps less than the dollar which just brought me a smile. Seems like a small price to pay.
