I’m one of those people whose favorite thing about getting Chinese food is the fortune cookie. I’m not a fanatic, but I enjoy a Tarot reading or a Horoscope every now and then. Once, while I was getting my nails done, the girls working at the salon excitedly told me to pick a fortune from their “daily fortune jar.” It was a jar filled with slips of paper that had fortunes written on them. I thought it was a cute idea and decided to make one for my mom (I use it more often than she does).
Although I wrote all of these fortunes myself, they often put a smile on my face, relieve some stress, or give me good advice (especially the one that reminds me to forgive someone!) when I pull one out of the jar. They get put back into the jar after reading, and when I randomly pull the same one out three days in a row, I figure the message is serious!
Here’s what I wrote on mine:
