Fortune Cookie


This picture above is a picture of the fortune that I got last week, out of my fortune cookie at a Chinese restaraunt. Ironic, huh? Usually, those fortune cookies are so corny, and say crap like "Look around the corner, happiness is waiting for you", or something like that....But when I cracked that particular fortune cookie open, (and didn't eat it, cuz those things are gross), I got chills when I saw these words.....

                                              This is a time for caution, but not for fear

Eeek. Those are freaky, scary words for me to see right now for some reason. My surgery is in 2 weeks from this coming Tuesday. 2 weeks....I'm trying to not stress....To not worry...To not think about the "worst-case-scenarios", but it seems that whenever I lay down at night, that is all my mind starts to do...It's awful. I wish I could turn it off.

Fear is starting to set in about my surgery. It's a big surgery. Yes, I know that people have surgery every day, women have had this surgery before, and everything usually goes okay. I don't want to worry too much about the unknown, but how can I not? I'm going to really try to be positive, to think positive, and that's all I can do.....Be cautious, but not fearful....Do not let the fear control or break me down. I'm stronger than that. We all know that, don't we? Haha.

This sort of made me chuckle - because I always want to read my fortune, but I never eat the cookie it came in.

It's totally natural to feel this way - after all - it was other people that went through that, not you, and of course you have worries about what could happen.

Hope it makes you feel a little better to know you are perfectly normal to be feeling these things..
