I’m not one to put a lot of stock into oracles of any kind, however, for some reason, I’ve had a penchant for saving my fortunes from cookies recently. I’m easily amused, perhaps, but the random prophecies have been eerie as of late.
I offer you the following sage bits (lucky numbers not included):
1 – “Your example will inspire others”
2 – “You will never be last in line, you will always excel!”
3 – “Sometimes traveling to a new place leads to great transformation.”
I interpret these in the following way….
The first is a pat on the head that leaving my old job was a good idea and others would see my (belated!) wisdom and find a new path.
The second gave me a push to continue to seek new opportunities and not always believe that I would “always be a bridesmaid” (although I’ve never truly been one, but I digress….)
The final one tells me that my new daily journey to the mall will create a new and improved ME!
It’s a lot like any other writing….. it’s all in the interpretation.
Back to regular programming.

Oddly enough, I collect them as well.
My favorite so far was a blank one I got about six months ago. I couldn’t decide if it meant I had no fortune or was the equivelent of an “Insert fortune here” opportunity. I finally concluded that the Fortune Cookie Gods were telling me thier hidden secret: Your fortune is what you make it.
My second favorite is currently : “He who expects no gratitude shall never be disappointed”.
Ha ha, yes, how true — it’s all in the interpretation! I carried around a fortune in my wallet for years: “The only certainty is that nothing is certain.”
