At the end of our weekly Chinese food treat, we go around the table and share our fortunes. It’s a tradition. I don’t claim to own this tradition as I’m pretty sure it is universal and almost a required part of the meal. I think I noticed it once in the fine print of a menu.

“The best exercise for the heart is to reach down and help someone up.”

This was Friday night’s fortune. Yes, I understand I am talking about a fortune cookie here but the message stuck with me. To be honest, it felt very Gothamly and in the nature of our mantra of “It’s Better to Give than Receive – And What Goes Around Comes Around.”

Maybe we should be starting Gotham Fortune Cookies.

If you think about it today, reach down and help someone up. It will make your day.
