I am in the habit of saving fortune
cookie fortunes.
But until now, I have never called the
Universe on one.

This one has been hanging around since July 5.
It didn't get lost.
Or forgotten.
(Okay, my husband found it by accident
yesterday on my clip of things I want to remember and hung it on the
calendar.)
But still.
'Good Things'
Let's think about this.
Are we talking really good
things?
Like One Million Dollars? A random
contact from a publisher actually paying me to simultaneously write
that novel and a travel show? A sudden painless fifteen pound
weight-loss with subsequent toning? No traffic on the way to work and
a nausea-producing smell free train ride?
Or are we talking more mundane 'Good
Things'
Things
like a phone call from my best friend from high school? Surprise
flowers? A random compliment? An endearing exchange with a stranger?
A chance meeting with one of my kids?
Maybe the fact that I got up this morning is my Good Thing.
Which means I have already peaked...although the text is in the plural...
I
feel as though I should only expect the typical good things. Those
things that we tend to take for granted. Perhaps this is the
Universe's way of reminding me to be grateful for what I have and
perhaps be happy going to bed tonight with the knowledge that I got
one more day...
I
don't want to sound ungrateful, Universe, but I could really that
million bucks.
