Fortune cookie 12

I am building up quite a collection of these little slips of paper.

Your spirit of adventure leads you
down an exciting new path.
Lucky Numbers 14, 16, 18, 21, 23, 40

My sense of adventure only comes in little spurts nowadays. The last really exciting path I took was when a late-night realization prompted me to leave school for a time and join the army. That was a truly grand, globetrotting experience.

Lately, it seems, though, like I am wandering aimlessly in the desert. Each dune I pass is like the last one, and the occasional sandstorm comes along to engulf me in a stinging, choking maelstrom.

Have we been walking in the same desert?

Now that I think about it, I have caught sight of what seemed to be human figures a few times during my desert journey, but dismissed them as mirages.

I didn’t really mind wandering the desert a bit when I was in my 20s, but now that I am 32 and fast approaching 33, I find myself starting to panic somewhat that the “promised land,” which was once barely perceptible just beyond the horizon, has now vanished from sight. Further complicating things, somewhere along the way, shifting sands obscured the path, and I am now traveling in circles trying either to get back on my original path or to find an alternate means of conveyance.

I just checked that one out. The first one I got was “Don’t be a grumble bunny.” Cool.

ha! “Don’t be a grumble bunny” was a line from “Cheers,” believe it or not….
