Yesterday on my lunch break I ate at Mitsuwa, a Japanese market here in San Diego that also has a small cafe inside it. After my meal of shrimp and rice I went and bought a bag of small fortune cookies. Not Japanese I know, but I like them as a snack.
Eating them like it was my last meal I only stopped to look at one of the fortunes, which read "You will prosper today."
Hmmmmm, so I go to school and on the way to class I find $700 dollars on the ground. Well, someones uncashed paycheck for that amount. Stub still attached and with a recent date.
Then in Algebra/Geometry the teacher passes out a take home test and what test hits my desk? The one that is her answer key!
Wow, in one hour I got a free check and all the answers to a test!
But not really. I called the business on the check and they called their employee who came to school and got his paycheck from me. He was dumbstruck as to how he lost it and it got there. But I'm glad he got it back. If you're only making $700 every two weeks you need all the money you can get.
And while the students around me clamored to take cell phone pics of the test key, I waited a beat and then gave it back. She acted as if I had already completed the test, and I said no but rather it was her own key. She gave me a blank test with a curt nod of thanks.
Did I prosper? Not really in the physical sense. Spiritually? Karmic? Nothing?
