A closed mind is like a closed book; just a block of wood.
- Chinese Proverb
I am a huge sucker for history. Not many people my age would have as many books as I do on old wars, Aztec traditions and traditional Egyptian and Japanese lifestyles, but there is just something about them that gets me every time. Along with these inspiring ways of living come some amazing food, and last nights dinner proved to add that little bit extra.
After a long day of traveling and watching a swell football match Dan and I settled down to kick back on the lounge with some Chinese. We went to the same Chinese restaurant I used to go to as child and received two fortune cookies from the same little old man who has served me since I was four. He smiled and asked me to put my hand in the bucket to pick out two cookies, I am always a little nervous hoping that I get a good one. I picked out one each for Dan and I and left with a huge smile. The best part of eating Chinese is the cracking of the fortune cookie. Dan and I were extremely happy with our results. Today I spent the day reading Chinese proverbs, they are all so amazing and so true! These little cookies always bring me so much happiness, not only with a glimpse of hope but by also bringing back memories.
