This morning, I am grateful for:

1. something forgotten on a cluttered kitchen counter
2. a Fortune Cookie for breakfast
3. the crackle of the cookie and the easy way it breaks (a little like me)
4. the way it lightly meets and dissolves into hot coffee in my mouth
5. tiny ripples of muted but happy anticipation as I unwrap the fortune paper
6. what’s contained in the fortune: “a gathering of friends brings you lots of luck this evening”
7. the wish that Maybe you are these friends
8. Spellcheck, which caught my typo: “a gathering of friends brings you lots of lunch this evening”
9. that it is ok either way~~~ either version is ok

Bless a thing and it will bless you. Curse it and it will curse you…If you bless a situation, it has no power to hurt you: and even if it is troublesome for a time, it will gradually fade out, if you sincerely bless it.
