Good news from a fortune cookie?

This message is from a fortune cookie I got Saturday night:
"Good ideas will spring forth naturally from your mind in the coming week."
('Bout time!! )
Earlier that day, I had been working on a new story for my personal blog website. I finally finished it Monday and got it posted Tuesday. It's the first one I've posted in almost three months!
That's way too long. But I'm not beating myself up over it.
I got off track and I truly had writer's block for a long time this summer. I know it was due to some highly stressful issues going on in my life.
Thankfully, things are somewhat better now. My desire to write has returned and my creativity has been rekindled. Not only for writing, but for some other projects that I've wanted to start too.
It feels better to feel better! Ha! That was redundant. Redundancy is not a trait of good writing.
I really don't put my trust in a fortune cookie message, but... come on, good ideas, spring forth!! I need more!

I hope you get some great creative ideas. I need a short vacation to rekindle my teaching creativity.

It's discouraging for me too @Hannihar, when I work hard on a post and get very little response.

Exactly @peachpurple! I've been learning to trust my "gut instinct" more often. Thanks for your comment.
