It was the night before my recent change of positions to RE/MAX Professionals as Broker and Manager in Etobicoke. I had cooked that evening. It was a beautiful meal of Chinese food picked up just one half hour before at our local supplier of egg rolls, chow mein and chicken balls. The spread of food was a mixture of some of the most scruptuous fair that anyone late coming home could prepare.
The meal ended with the traditional ceremony of the fortune cookie. Each of us opening our cookie with the suspense and embellishment that only a fortune cookie affectionato could provide.
I was last. My cookie was the last remaining piece of this ceremony.
Now, I do not normally believe a fortune cookie provides more than just a little piece of humour, a laugh for those in attendance. Not very serious stuff in my mind!
But this time the message was different, prophetic if you will.
I opened the cookie with all the reluctance and doubt that any last opener could provide. I read it quietly, quietly a second time, and then openly to the rest.
"Excellent day for dusting. Start with a few old dreams." it stated, followed by a few lucky numbers.
I did not use the lucky numbers that day. No lottery ticket here. I had already won the lottery, a chance for a new start with a great brand, RE/MAX Professionals.
So the dust is off, the dreams are clear, and the fortune......already won!
