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!

Rah, rah, sis boom bah!

Yep. I would have bawled too.
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.
I’m cheering you on too! xo

love your tennessee williams quote in your blog header.
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.
Perfect.
I love you. I want the best for you, always. I am here, always listening always holding your hand.
I totally snuck into your house and put that fortune cookie there for you to find.
What took you so long!!?!
Yeah, I would have too. hugs~
