Thank you. See you later.

Hello, everybody.

The last daily fortune will soon be posted to Fortune A Day.

With all sincerity, I thank you all for your time and for sharing this project with me for over ten years.

There have been some evolutions in the content. Cross-posting is something that only happened in recent years. Replying to messages with fortunes was never a part of the plan. I didn’t think I’d post more than just the fortunes I had on hand at the time. And I didn’t imagine that there’d be much of an audience for the project at all. I thought the Tumblr blog would come and go quietly; I thought I’d lose interest and let it taper off.

For that reason, it was kind of funny to have to plan and plot an end to Fortune A Day!

There have been personal evolutions, too. The least of which is directly at hand--the reason I started posting these fortunes is because I was getting rid of an old desk I’d had since childhood and found the first few hundred fortunes just cleaning out the drawers. The desk I’m typing from now is the successor and, let me just say, I’m really hard on desks. This thing should probably be replaced lol

Family members and even friends sent me fortunes to help me add content to the blog. And as I made the decision to close it up, the old scanner I’d been using started acting up. I actually have a few fortunes on hand that I never got to put into circulation.

I won’t go into the slew of other personal milestones that I passed while running this blog, but please understand that, while it may have just been a set of anonymous aesthetic posts to many, to me it was daily life. Yes, sometimes I queued posts in advance, but not always; and I never figured out a way to do that effectively on PF or IG, and Twitter didn’t start scheduled posts until relatively recently.

I posted once a day, every day, for ten years. I remembered to do it (wooo--yay for my brain!) and even managed to swing it while out-of-state, and prepping for hurricanes, and while both employed and unemployed. So it may not have seemed like a big thing. But it was a constant thing for me.

Another huge thing that made this blog important to me was, well. You. There are over 25,000 of you following. You replied, sent messages, and reblogged with commentary and tags. I was able to read these almost every day. People celebrating the weekend, having a tough time in school, pleading for the end of an ordeal, moving house, mourning when times were rough, laughing at silly pieces of paper, looking for new jobs, on and on and on. Thank you, again, for your kind attention. I wish you all the luck and happiness in the world.

The Fortune A Day Tumblr, Twitter, Instagram, and PF accounts will remain up for as long as the sites themselves stay up. If you ever need the fortunes, they’ll be there. If you need the universe to throw some good words or some numbers or some luck at you, this link will take you to a random post on the blog which will hopefully give you what you’re looking for (or at least give you a smile):

Update--All asks posted

Once again, thanks very much for all your kind messages. At this time, all asks and fortune requests which will be answered have been posted. If you didn’t see your ask posted, check your tag on the blog via the search bar on the blog front page.

Answering fortune requests was never a component of the blog that I plotted when I started, but it has been pretty fun! I’m glad so many of you got to participate. Thousands of individual fortunes have been provided to people who wrote in to ask for them.

If you never sent an ask or didn’t start following the blog until recently, I have one last text fortune for you. A few of the fortunes in my database just never really got hit when randomized. This is for you, I think. Yes--you!

Do not let what you cannot do tear from your hands what you can.

Heyoo! I’m back again and this time I have another question…this time regarding lunch! What is your absolute favorite thing to eat for lunch? Also, may I have a fortune? Thank you! :-)

I need something lively for the middle of the day. My favorite lunch, lately, is to make a salad with mixed greens, mix up some honey mustard dressing, shred some baked chicken, chop some pecans, shred a little cheddar over it, and add seasoned croutons if I’ve made any lately. Shred carrots if I have those, too. Bright and colorful and sweet. A lift to stave off the midday slump. I used to have to rely on the stinky company microwave so much that I really love having something fresh that I don’t have to nuke.

Your fortune: Fortune favors the brave.
