The Year of the Horse

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!

Today marks the start of the year of the Horse.  MY year.  It's going to be a GREAT year - I can feel it already!

Being that half my heritage goes back to China, I feel it important for me to pay homage to this part of my background and be proud of my diverse family ties.

Did I mention this is MY year??  :)

We talked a little about CNY at our last cub scout pack meeting.  The boys don't really know much about it, and I wasn't sure how cool the parents would be by my introducing a culture different from their own.  Most probably wouldn't have an issue with it, but you never know.  So I just touched on it and had them play Chopstick Relay for their game (which they LOVED).

Anyway, the horse is said to be energetic, charismatic, highly captivating, and thrives on attention.  I think I'd have to refer to my elemental Earth Horse to see more of myself in the description, as I don't really think of myself as being one that thrives on attention.  LOL Taken from a Chinese astrology website:

"Earth Horses will work to meet their goals, no matter how long it takes. They’ve got the ability to view situations from all perspectives and this ability is especially useful when it comes to making decisions. They’re very adaptable and they’re funny too."

That sounds about right, I think.  :)
