I found a fortune on the floor beside my desk tonight that said,
“You need not worry about your future.”
Do you think that’s good news or bad news?
(This actually really happened. It just showed up. I have no idea where it came from.)

It seems good advice to me – neither good nor bad news. To me the bad news is worrying about how it got into your house and onto your floor.

When odd things appear with an encouraging word, I think it’s good news.

I agree with forgottenman: I could make up hair-raising stories about HOW it got there, or who planted it there for you to find…but the advice itself sounds like a remake Jesus’ words to the crowd: “Take no thought for tomorrow…sufficient unto the day is the care thereof.” (You’ve enough to worry about for today.)

More than a “fortune” for the future, I think it’s suggesting a way to live in the present.

Had coffee with my friend Brad and he admitted it had been his fortune when we opened fortune cookies at my house over a month ago. We’d been making his retablo and he considered putting it into it but didn’t so it somehow materialized the other day. He made a five foot hight retablo, Judy!! It took us a loooong time..

Oh my good grief! I would love to see a photo of Brad’s five-foot high retablo.

I would think that it is good advice, in that “worrying” itself is never useful. Or, if I had found it, I would prefer to see it that way.
