I bring great fortunes of new trumpet traditions

It’s Christmas, and my family, like millions around the U.S., engaged in an important Christmas tradition: eating Chinese takeout.

You can add a little phrase to your fortunes to give it a new twist: “As a trumpeter…”

So, this one would be “As a trumpeter, frequent conversations will fill your heart with joy.”

This one works well for those needing to figure out who to study with or what audition to take:

As a trumpeter, find a peaceful place where you can make plans for the future.”

You have to change it up a little for some of the fortunes:

“Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide what to practice.”

And, of course, some fortunes are enigmatic. 

You could try, “Now go for it! The trumpet is ready to be pick.”

 

I’ll leave you with this one that I found on another website:
