I reached into the bread basket on the kitchen counter and pulled out one of half a dozen fortune cookies left over from a takeout order a couple of weeks ago. I cracked it open and found this.
At the end of a tough day of trying to stand my ground about some important things, it was just what I needed to hear. And then I cried, ’cause that’s how I’m wired. (Oh, you would have, too.)

Would have? I am.
my last fortune read “man who run in front of car will eventually be tired.”
I love it when the fortune actually has bearing on your life. I would have cried too.
Amazing. And very, very true. Your cheering section is huge!
Yes we are!

Thanks for your kind words elsewhere, my friend. I’m honored . . .
Damn. That gave me a serious shiver.
Once I got a prescient fortune that said “don’t mistake temptation for opportunity.” Do you think I listened? Of course not. Still paying for that mistake.
In other words, Jennifer: don’t be like me.
and it’s very very true. we are rooting for you.
What a wonderful fortune!
Another fan. Cheering you on.

My fortunes always seem to correctly address what a cynic I am. Hmmmm.
Shaking pom poms.
Last week I stumbled on my fortune from my fortune cookie, and thought of you! I shamefully copied your idea, because it was so apropos for where things have been going. check it out on wait4thenews, and hope you’ll come see my at my new blog.
