joyful energy of the day August 26, 2007

 ”The joyful energy of the day will have a positive effect on you.”

This is an unusual fortune. It’s very optimistic, and one I had never seen before. It holds out promise that: 1) It’s going to be a good day; and 2) You will be able to appreciate and capitalize on that fact. While it could certainly be interpreted as if you will be the passive recipient of the good vibes, it is also a call to action — knowing that you will be receiving this gift of joyful energy, you can plan to utilize it fully. Go forth and be joyfully energetic!

what’s this all about? August 26, 2007

The first time I had Chinese take-out with my husband, we discovered something we had in common — a tradition of collecting fortunes from fortune cookies. I saved the ones that were most poignant for that moment in my life, while he saved every single one he ever had. Together, we realized we had quite a collection. We vowed that some day we would figure out something interesting to do with them all.

Then it dawned on us that we could create a blog celebrating these tidbits of wisdom, and the idea for this blog was born. Each week (or more often if the spirit moves us) we will post a new fortune, picked at random, along with our reflections on it. We hope that you’ll enjoy these as much as we have!
