fortunes

Maggie and I went out to a Thai restaurant the other night to celebrate a family birthday. After the meal we got fortune cookies, and Maggie asked me to read hers:

Your sparkling eyes give a healing light to those you meet.

It often happens that when I am thinking something, Maggie will say it. This was one of those times.

"Grandma Carol should have that fortune!" she said, and as usual, Maggie's comment hit the nail right on the head.

My fortune turned out to be a piece of advice that my mom often gave to my brother and I:

Be straighforward and honest and success will be yours.
