Fortune Friday

A good friend who reads this blog sent me a picture this week that I just had to share for Fortune Friday.

Between college tuition and this, my heart must be overflowing.

Fortune Friday

Ba-dum-dum. (Just in case you don't know, that's the drum sound heard often after the delivery of a very corny joke.)

Fortune Friday

I'm sick today. Sore throat, running nose, cough, aches and pains...I have it all. I'm trying to take this fortune seriously but it's just not working too well. Maybe tomorrow.

Life really is a matter of perspective...

I love the perspective provided by this Fortune Cookie. Often times I don't struggle well but wiggling? I can wiggle with the best of them.

I've been known to speak before I think which often gets me in trouble. A couple of years ago I opened a fortune cookie containing this fortune:

A have this fortune taped to my computer monitor so I see it just about every day. I still talk a lot...too much probably however, because I'm SO sick of the taste of feet I try very hard now to think before speaking.

I like Chinese food. I realize it's not the healthiest option but...well, it's good. Mu Shu Pork (my favorite) actually isn't that bad calorie wise. It's mostly cabbage and how fattening can cabbage be? The Fortune Cookies are always a fun part of the meal. My last few fortune cookies have been particularly good. I tend to save the little pieces of paper with my "fortunes" on them only to lose them later. In order to remember the good ones I thought I'd write them here. After all, just about every other aspect of my life has been documented here. Why not add silly little fortune cookies to the list? Here are a couple recent ones:

This one is good for me because I am not good about calling people (except my kids. I bug them a lot). What usually happens is that I don't call someone for a while and then I convince myself that I'm in some kind of trouble. Or, that the person is going to be so angry with me that they won't want to talk to me. I know...very childish. Usually, when I finally do place that call the other person is grateful and appreciative. Not always, but usually. That's why this cookie is a keeper for me.

Here's one I received last night:

This year I want to embrace simplicity. When I look around I can't help but realize how much I have. I don't need more. I need to enjoy what I have.

I think I'll try to make Fridays, "Fortune Fridays". I have a good supply to get things going. Once they run out, I'll just have to suffer and eat Mu Shu Pork once a week. Oh but wait...I'm not going to focus on wanting more. This is going to be tough.
