fortune cookies.

Happy Monday! I hope y'all had a fantastic weekend. This is the last one we'll spend in Providence for a few weeks with our crazy travel schedule, so we soaked it up. {cv} and I rarely eat Chinese, but on Saturday night, we indulged. Strangely, one of my favorite parts of eating Chinese is opening my fortune cookie. I wait until I've completely eaten my cookie before reading mine too--which is torture because {cv} reads his right off the bat. Everyone else at our table had goofy sayings which really made no sense, but mine read a little something like this...


Life is about making some things happen, not waiting for something to happen.

My lucky word was "winter" {strange in the heat of the summer!}, but suffice it to say, this little message struck me at my core. I may never be a big risk taker, but it doesn't mean I should watch and wait for things to happen. I have to take the bull by the horns and go for it, which is much easier said than done. 

My takeaway from all of this? Life lessons can come from fortune cookies...

  9. Wow, that fortune cookie was right. That serves as a wake up call for me too. I always play it safe and wait for the right time and the right opportunities. But sometimes you just gotta do it. =)

  10. Great post! You got an awesome fortune cookie, I always end up with the ones that just teach me how to say "macaroni" or give me a string of lotto numbers.
