I've been doing a lot of soul searching recently and trying to find the meaning of life. I've been trying to find balance and find what makes me happy.
Last night I was at my husband's work holiday party. It was at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. They had an amazing array of food stations, I wanted some Asian food, so that's what we enjoyed. Of course we had to grab some fortune cookies.
This is what my fortune read:
What kind of fortune is that? It taught me how to say 'jump' in Chinese?
Well then I flipped it over..
How profound! Happiness can never be achieved if we always want what we can't have. Happiness can be found in appreciating what we do have.
I was having a moment appreciating my good fortune.
Until I read my husband's...
What the!?!? All of a sudden I wanted my husband's fortune and wasn't appreciating the fortune I had. I guess my new lesson didn't last long.
But hey! Look at what I won during the raffle...
I guess someone has some good fortune after all.
But going back to my fortune. I agree. If we spend more time appreciating what we have rather than lusting over what we want, a great deal of happiness can be derived from it.
I wish you all happiness and good fortune. Have a wonderful holiday season!
