I'm a little behind on the blog . . . by about five years. I was going to post something back in September, but I couldn't find the password. Resetting the password went well tonight, though, so I'm back!
Before going back to late 2010 to pick up the story with more pictures, I thought I would post something current. What better way to start things up than to present all the fortunes from all of the fortune cookies I got from Chef Lin over the past year?
From the list below, here are the ones that I enjoyed.
For every candidate running for President in 2016 except Donald Trump: "The only thing worse than being talked about is not getting talked about."
For my entrepreneurial friends at the Hagerstown Startups Group and Hub City REIA: "Begin...the rest is easy."
For my friends in Leadership Frederick County: "Today you should be the leader. Things will go your way."
For my job: "The nice thing about standards is, there are so many to choose from."
Motivational poster cookie: "TEAMS - Together Everyone Achieves More Success"
The zen: "Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings while the dawn is still dark."
The fortune that makes Chinese the go-to for date night: "The sight of your beauty is worth beholding."
And finally, who am I too argue with the cookie: "Everyone agrees you are the best."
The whole list is below, 40 in all. I can't help thinking there might be a few cookies out there I missed . . . I eat at the Chinese restaurant a lot! In the whole list, there is only one fortune that's repeated.
