For some it's the dreaded blank fortune. What could it possibly mean if you crack open a Chinese cookie that has well, nothing in it? Is your future short and bleak? Have you been forgotten?
Around here, we choose to see it as a blank slate. A canvass for anything and everything. A chance to make the choice, decide just how life is going to be. An opportunity to be happy with the life God has given us.
Just got back from Vegas, there was no foreboding cookie preceding our trip and everyone came home with all their body parts. By the way, that was no small feat in Vegas on Halloween.
For now, all is well. The glass is at least half full and as we approach the magnificence of Christmas, may we help the cup of others,to overflow.
Audra,
This is a wonderful message - this idea of a blank slate. In fact, I find it very refreshing, as I think about what this really means - that I can choose to "start from scratch" should I choose. That the past is just that - in the past - and it's a new day going forward! And that is a great feeling you are leaving me with today!!
