Do what the Fortune Cookie Says

Well...here we sit. Me on one side of the screen, and you on the other reading these words. Maybe you are reading this because I have asked you to. ("Begged you," might be the better phrase.) Most likely you are reading this because you made a mistake...meant to go to another site. On the off chance that you came here of your own free will, I hope you find this blog entertaining.
It's not meant to change the world or solve any great life issues... I just hope to add a smile to your day.
It was my birthday two days ago, and it occurs to me I'm not getting any younger.(See...I'm full of clever observations.) I have always wanted to write a book, and by my count I have written exactly zero. I knew I would never write the Great American Novel, but seriously, I thought I could do better than zero. Maybe I could start a blog I thought. Seems like everyone has a blog...people I KNOW have blogs. A friend of mine has a blog highlighting her singing. She is extremely talented...extremely! I mentioned to her that I too might start a blog.( I love saying that because it sounds so official, like I have something to say, like I know what I'm talking about. Sweet friend had no clue I had NO idea of what I spoke.) In my best Blogger voice, I said " I'm thinking of starting a blog." Sweet friend was so enthusiastic, "That's awesome! What will you write about? Do you have a talent?". Just as enthusiastically, I replied, "No. I just have stuff to tell people!"
So...as I mentioned earlier, it was my birthday a couple of days ago. I am in Montana visiting my in-laws. My mother-in- law prepared a beautiful dinner. A Chinese dish with shrimp and UNfried rice.(Don't even ask, that is a story of it's own!) Afterwards, we had fortune cookies.
My fortune read: "Share your thoughts."
Now I am a blogger.
