Serendipity: Remember this day...

I was given a fortune from a fortune cookie three months ago this very day that said, "Remember this day three months from now. Good things are in store." Well that was 13 June, 2011 and now three months exactly have passed. I am not normally one to believe in fortune cookies, but this one has already proven itself, for it was given to me by someone very dear to me; I believe that Anne of Green Gables fame would say, "A bosom friend--an intimate friend, you know a kindred spirit to whom [one] can confide [their] inmost soul." She got the fortune cookie three months exactly before I returned home from Atlanta, Georgia after serving a two-year LDS mission. She gave it to me exactly nine months and four days after she received it initially, which makes it one year and four days since she received it...if my calculations are correct.

Perhaps on this thirteenth day of September I will meet another kindred spirit. Or perhaps the fortune cookie knew that today I have a math test that I definitely could use some extra luck. Or perhaps the fortune will lend me some needed leniency on a research paper I submitted less than an hour before the midnight deadline tonight...procrastination is bad. I don't want to get my hopes up only to have them crushed by the reality of normal day-to-day living, and I don't want to interrupt the serendipity of the cosmological events set to transpire this day. But, if it isn't too much to ask, I would love to have an outpouring of serendipitous circumstances today. Not for me, of course, but for the sake of the integrity of this solitary fortune cookie; who has no voice to speak for himself. Pretty, pretty, please with a cherry on top let it happen for me...I mean the fortune cookie.
