Happy New Year (part two)

It's official - 2006 is going to the dogs!

Not because the year has been so rough, but because yesterday was the Chinese New Year. We have now left behind the disaster-laden Year of the Rooster, but feng shui forecasters predict the Year of the Dog will be even more volatile because there are similar systems in play as there were in another tumultuous year - 1946.

Either way, I'm grasping at any straw I can take for a new start to this year. 2006 on the western calendar has gotten off to a pretty rough start for me - three deaths, a severe illness in the family, heartache, heartbreak, car trouble, and so much work to be done that I've had I believe one day off total since last year.

Light the fireworks, scare off the evil spirits cause I need a do-over! That said, this still isn't MY year - I'm a Rabbit:

People born in the Year of the Rabbit are articulate, talented, and
ambitious. They are virtuous, reserved, and have excellent taste. Rabbit people
are admired, trusted, and are often financially lucky. They are fond of gossip
but are tactful and generally kind. Rabbit people seldom lose their temper. They
are clever at business and being conscientious, never back out of a contract.
They would make good gamblers for they have the uncanny gift of choosing the
right thing. However, they seldom gamble, as they are conservative and wise.
They are most compatible with those born in the years of the Sheep, Pig, and
Dog.

At least you have the good fortune to have been born in a year under a REAL animal. I'm a dragon.

Or maybe I should say, "Too bad you're born under a REAL animal. I'm born under the magical sign of the dragon."

Can you tell I'm on the fence about my Chinese year status?

I usually celebrate the year of the Horse (my chinese Sign) and the year of the mobnkey (too long to explain).

As to the begining of your year, look at it this way. You're getting all the crap out of the way right off the back, so you have the next 11 months to bathe in the greatness that is due for you.

And no matter what, keep writing. it means a lot to us.

I like the way you look at things. Here's hoping i get 11 months to bask! But either way, I promise to get back to writing soon.

Farrago,
A dragon's a good sign. Or is it? ;)
