The Fortune Cookie Message Of The Week Club

Loyal blog fan Ela recently filed an informal complaint with ‘The Fortune Cookie Message Of The Week Club’ Board Of Directors stating that this week’s earlier fortune cookie message was essentially null and void due to the fact that it came from a web site (gasp !) rather than from an actual fortune cookie that was received by me in an actual Chinese restaurant.

Point well taken. Lesson learned.

TODAY was a do-over. I ate Lunch at Homestead’s finest place for gourmet Chinese food – wok-cooked and served fast. I’m referring of course to the Panda Express.

OK club members. Here’s the real deal for this week. It’s an actual fortune cookie message from an actual fortune cookie that I ate at the conclusion of my delicious meal today.

‘Through greater effort and hard work a precious dream comes true.’

Well actually my precious dream is my current Life, and it didn’t require much effort or hard work to get here. All I had to do was to wake up, be born again, and there He was – patiently waiting for me after all of these years. He guided me onto this fantastic journey, told me to face forward, and follow Him. I did. I do. It just keeps getting better !

The Fortune Cookie Message Of The Week Club

TODAY I managed to sneak out of the office at my normal Lunch hour, and I made it all the way to the Peking House aqui en Homestead. As you know it’s Homestead’s finest place for Chinese Food, Fun, Fights (from the kitchen), Music, and Broken English. It’s the type of place where as soon as I open the front door they pretty much acknowledge my presence, tell me ‘Anywhere’ (pointing to the entire restaurant – anywhere that I wish to sit), and watch as I immediately proceed to fill-up my plate at the all-you-can-eat buffet (or as I like to say it – ‘boo-fay’). 

This week’s ‘Fortune Cookie Message Of The Week’ for all of you bonafide club members worldwide is actually a repeat. You see apparently the Writer’s Guild Of America strike has actually affected fortune cookie messages. I got this one back on Monday July 30TH 2007 up the road at China Garden in beautiful Naranja Lakes:

‘If it seems the fates are against you today, they probably are.’

There are no fates against me today. I woke up at precisely 5 AM, and I had a peaceful day at work. Of course there are still another 6½ hours to go before this day ends for me.
