Fortunate

19 Comments/ 3479/ 0

I have a passion for saving fortunes from fortune cookies.   I cleaned out my wallet and found 11.   Not surprising since we usually share Sunday dinner over at our favorite Japanese/Chinese restaurant–The Lantern.   I thought I would share them with you today!   These are some of the “better” ones I have saved.

  1. Ask not what your fortune cookie can do for you but what you can do for your fortune cookie.  (I promptly ate it –that is what I could do for it.)

  2. Your sparkle will never fade. (Must be that crown I keep wearing.)

  3. You are talented with your hands.  (I actually think this one belonged to Chris and he turned it into some sexual thing if I recall correctly.)

  4. Your love life will be happy and harmonious.  (Coming up on 30 years of marriage so I would agree)

  5. You will be called upon to help a friend in trouble. (Hope my cell phone is on.)

  6. Give a hug to someone who needs one more than you.

  7. Romance is about to blossom.  (I was with Chris when I got this one…..)

  8. No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.

  9.  If you’ve got it, flaunt it.  (Somehow this just does not seem like a fortune to me.)

  10.  A short stranger will soon enter your life with blessings to share. (I am keeping my eyes open for little people—so far–nothing.  )

  11. You will become a great philanthropist in your later years.  (Probably my favorite one thus far!!!)

Have you ever gotten a fortune that has changed your outlook or do you have one that you carry around with you?  I would love to hear!

This short book was one that looked like it would be a fun read. I honestly did not enjoy it all that much---it was a lot of characters bickering and while some of the writing was witty and funny it was not that kind of book that made m...

I loved this book! It had my interest from the very first page and was my "airplane" book on a recent trip. Author Mary Kubica created believable and interesting characters that the reader learned to identify with and care about. Mi...

This is quite a book! I had it recommended to me by several people and while I thought it might be a little dark and depressing it made me have a better understanding of what life in this time period was like. The strength of the huma...

Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
