Back in April, I ran a photo of what the first 100 fortunes spanning the first 100 days looked like - a fairly unremarkable photo.
Then at the halfway point - Day 183 - I posted another photo of all the fortunes up to that point.
Is it just me, or do those two photos dwarf in comparison to the number of fortunes - 300 - I've amassed to today?
Wow. I can't believe it's already Day 300 of this project. Seems like only yesterday I cracked open that first cookie and began this year-long journey. Now, with only 65 days left, I feel like I can see light at the end of the tunnel.
