For six years, this single penny has weathered every storm, sitting untouched in the very same curve of the Foothills Parkway in Cosby. I first noticed it in May of 2020, when the Covid pandemic was melting down the known world, while hiking the parkway to lose weight. Other than a brief time while the PKWY was being repaved, it has stayed a constant smile on my route.
I’m often reminded it’s the simple things in life that can mean a lot.
