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.
- 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.)
-
Your sparkle will never fade. (Must be that crown I keep wearing.)
-
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.)
-
Your love life will be happy and harmonious. (Coming up on 30 years of marriage so I would agree)
-
You will be called upon to help a friend in trouble. (Hope my cell phone is on.)
-
Give a hug to someone who needs one more than you.
-
Romance is about to blossom. (I was with Chris when I got this one…..)
-
No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
-
If you’ve got it, flaunt it. (Somehow this just does not seem like a fortune to me.)
-
A short stranger will soon enter your life with blessings to share. (I am keeping my eyes open for little people—so far–nothing. )
-
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!

Fun post. Thanks. You made me smile.
Glad it made you smile!! Mission accomplished!!!
I love fortune cookies–the whole notion of text contained in cookie–a paper piece of sweetness.
Great idea for a post, Beth Ann.
Hugs,
Kathy
Thanks!!! I could not believe I had that many stowed away in my billfold!!! Spring cleaning time!!!
Hi Beth Ann – you’re right! That is a funny coincidence that my fortune cookie post from earlier this week was Freshly Pressed today! I love fortunes, too, and have been known to save some of the good ones 🙂 Here’s wishing you many more of those (the good ones), and thank you so much for checking out my blog!
Thanks for stopping by!!! I am so envious of anyone getting Freshly Pressed!!! It is my new goal!!! But not sure how to achieve it—I usually just ramble around about boring mundane life things! 🙂 Glad to meet you and happy to find yet another blog to add to my ever growing list of “must reads”. 🙂
You’re already a great philanthropist!!!! 🙂 I love getting fortune cookies and usually keep them. But they land in the depths of my purse never to be seen again… I may just start putting them into my wallet and write a similar post soon. We end up going to this great little Chinese place at least once a week!!!!
Oh blog about them!!! I would loe to see what yours are!
I love fortune cookies! I used to keep them, but the better half found some and asked if I kept it and I felt silly. Take pride in your collection. Don’t be a wimp like me. One of has to be strong and if you can’t tell, it ain’t me.
Well I do tend to collect them…..but at least now since I wrote them down in the blogosphere they are there foreverrrrrrr…….
I have gotten some very interesting ones but I never have kept them for any length of time. I probably should have kept them to see if any of them came true.
Not sure that they are really good predictors of the future but I love to see what they are each time I get one!
Those are always fun to read. I don’t eat much Chinese food, but we went to a restaurant after church with friends. I put mine on my inspiration board since I liked it so much: Look forward to great fortune–and a new lease on life. I have been blessed beyond measure with new blogging friends, and my blog has taken over my life! lol
I totally understand what you mean about the blog taking over your life. Not necessarily a bad thing but you have to learn a balance, I guess!!! 🙂
Hey you have interesting fortunes! I think I may have to switch restaurants because mine are not nearly as creative as yours! 🙂
Come to mine!! They are awesome!
Hello, I just found your blog and I love it. I have taped a fortune to the back of my phone when I was debating whether or not to leave my job,. ‘Now is the time to try something new. You will benefit’
And I did and I have:)
That is an awesome fortune!!! And I am so glad it worked out!! Thanks for stopping by and commenting! Come back anytime!
[…] It’s been awhile since I did this so there are a lot I have accumulated since my last post here where I listed some. I think some of Chris’s have gotten intermingled with mine but that is […]
