Happy Chinese New Year!



Are you ready to ride the Dragon?

I just read that in China, today is celebrated as the new years day. As it falls together with a new moon, it's the ideal time to make a fresh start and let our dreams and plans grow. It's the year of the water-dragon. The Dragon is in fact the major symbol of good fortune in Chinese Astrology.  According to tradition, the Dragon brings in the Four Blessings of the East: wealth, virtue, harmony and longevity.  I hope we can expect grand things this year - and that good luck will be coming our way! And here's the lucky cat to wave you all into a fabulous new week!

  7. My precious friend,

    Oh how sorry I am to hear that you are still not completely well. This virus has taken many of us by storm and has lasted for MONTHS! I am finally back to normal, but I don't know for how long; it was a mildly cold day today, but I had to go out to get my students from recess and I did not have my coat, for I was not expecting to have to go outside. I fear that I will get sick again, but FINGERS CROSSED I will not be affected!

    JUST KEEP GETTING THAT REST and create, create, CREATE!

    LOVE TO YOU, Anita

  12. Hi Martina!

    I have tried commenting on your previous blog posts when you posted them, but was not successful. I hope this one goes through? :)

    I hope it is a grand year for everyone too!

    I LOVE the post you did with the light interiors. What a relaxing setting. Very inspiring!! I have been feeling a bit ill with a viral flu bug going around, your pretty blog gives me a smile today. Thanks for sharing.

    Happy weekend to you!

    xoxo...Gloria
