Fortune Cookie

Ordered Chinese last night.

Opened my cookie this morning: You will always be surrounded by love and happiness.

Hmmmm.

Ok … on initial look that is a lovely sentiment. But …

Surrounded by …

Not a part of.

Ok, yes I overthink thing and Tis likely this is one of those times. And it is ok, really.

Here’s why…

If I will always be surrounded by love and happiness then I am guessing it is going to have to be my choice to be a part of that or not. My choice.

I have said, in the past, I choose happiness.

It sounds easy. But it isn’t. My brain doesn’t tend to travel there on its own. I have to make a conscience choice. Need to focus on the possibilities. Note: not the positive… just possibilities.

So I will try. Again and again. And when I fail. I’ll pick myself up after a bit … and try again.

So I accept the fortune and I ate the cookie. And I look to possibilities.
