My Fortune

Blog soundtrack:



I had lunch with a good friend today. We went to a nearby terrific Chinese restaurant. After eating, we ordered a pot of Jasmine tea. I love Jasmine tea almost as much as I love rosemary focaccia bread.

We opened our fortune cookies. And, as mandatory, well, at least when you eat with me, you must read your fortune to the other person. When it was my turn, I said, “Miracles do happen,” and I laughed.

When I got home, I saw this.



This is Liam and Plume sleeping together. I’m sure Plume was the instigator, but the fact that Liam went along with it was truly a miracle in my book.

Iz called me when she was on her way home from Pennsylvania. Worried about the school vacation rush on the aquarium this week, I told her that she could skip school one day next week, and we’d take the train into Boston and go to the aquarium. She said, “Yeah, finally, girl time!” It was all I could do to keep from laughing; however, in that moment, I felt so loved and needed.

Today, I felt that a fortune came true, while I also realized how fortunate I was.
