At the conclusion of my Chinese food lunch today, I reached for my fortune cookie, eager to read this week’s fortune. I ripped open the wrapper, broke open the cookie, and saw…

Nothing.

No paper, no fortune. The cookie was empty.

And I just smiled.

Sometimes it is nice to be reminded that our world is a blank canvas and we are free to create it any way we choose, to write our own fortune.

To your good fortune!

P.S. – Yes, that is a picture of the actual cookie taken with my camera phone. And no, I did not eat the cookie off the table afterwards. Yuck.
