Chris and I are a fan of Chinese restaurants and I am the one who tucks away the fortunes from the fortune cookies in my wallet.

Bit by bit they add up and I take them out, paper clip them together and stash them in my desk.  When I get a nice little collection it is time to do yet another fortune post for your reading pleasure.

Today’s offerings span quite a few months of collecting and I hope you can gain some wisdom and maybe some laughs from reading them.

1. The expert at anything was once a beginner.
2. No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible.
3. Many receive advise but only the wise profit from it.
4. You will meet a new friend tomorrow.
5. In the coming days you will be completely relaxed.
6. Share your dumplings with the Panda next to you.
7. The thing one fears the most is fear itself.
8. The healthy and strong individual is the one who asks for help when he needs it.
9. Others take notice of your radiance. Share your happiness
10. The fun side of a relationship begins to unfold.
11. Failure is the mother of all success.
12. People find it difficult to resist your persuasive manner.
13. Your financial outlook is excellent.

I think fortunes are not what they used to be.  I remember them being a bit wittier and pithier.  I guess it is a sign of the times.
