Welcome the Year of the Fire Dog! To those whose year didn’t go so well in the Year of the Snake, the new year comes as a welcome relief. The chinese new year officially starts january 29 appropriately coinciding with the New moon. A new moon signals new beginnings, an end to one cycle and a chance to renew.
In the chinese calendar, I was born in the Year of the Boar which comes after the year of the dog. so this year 2006 seems like a preparation my coming year when supposedly all my dreams and aspirations will come to fruition, when all my hard work will start paying off. Isn’t that exciting?
I personally look forward to the chinese new year…even if i’m not chinese. The year of the Fire Dog is suppose to rectify past mistakes and deliver justice to those who have experienced injustice. It is about sweet revenge! But more than just revenge, i think it is a time for me to finally find some closure to some personal issues which had been bothering me for the longest time and hampering my growth. so here’s a toast to the new year filled with love (new?), health, wealth and happiness.
In closing, let me leave you with a quote I came across:
Buddha says,” In the end, only three things matter - 1) how much we loved, 2) how gently we lived, 3) how gracefully we let go of things not meant for us.”
