Fortune Cookie
I love fortune cookies. I love their taste and, to be truthful, I love the bits of random wisdom stated in one sentence. I collect them then place them around the house. Here’s a few that live in our house.
This one lives under my keyboard:
“The simplest answer is to act.”
These three live on our refrigerator:
“Through the eyes of love all things take on new meaning”
(This lives as an inscription to a vacation photo where we are sun touched and laughing)
“There will be delightful mysteries in your life”
(This sits near a photo of my niece and nephew)
“You will be successful in a business of your own”
(This lives under some comics - it’s a secret fortune)
This one lives in my wallet:
“Think highly of yourself, for the world takes you at your own estimate.”
This guy made his resume out of fortune cookie sayings.
Fess up. What fortunes do you have around the house?

Confucious say, “Relatives are like fish, if around the house too long, begin to stink.”
Squirrelly - And so true!
Fortune cookies aren’t thick on the ground here but I’ll tell you the philosophy I live my life by:
That which does not kill us makes us stronger.
And, oh, you wouldn’t believe how strong I must be!
Angela - Ironically, I’ve had Chinese food in the South of France. It’s a good motto though - especially when doing construction!
it’s not a fortune cookie - it’’s from Goethe ‘whatever you can do..or dream you can do…begin it now’ I’m paraphrasing from memory because it’s on my pin-board in the other room. I should pay more attention to it. I really should.
Heather - I love that quote - WOW! Thanks for sharing!
Mine says, “Not edible.” I live my life by it.
BroLo - Isn’t that the vow of chastity?
No way I’m falling for that one….
I don’t know. You tell me.
