in all things it is better to hope than to despair. johann wolfgang von goethe
We’ve all had troubles ~ some bigger than others ~ and how we deal with them in the long run ~ makes it a long run. Know what I mean? That’s why when I saw this card, I thought it was a good one! I recently was talking with a new friend I met through blogging who told me that this is the Year of the Dragon.
In researching the Year of the Dragon, I found the following:
Year of the Dragon Overview
“In a Dragon year, everything is magnified tenfold. And after the rather meat-and-potatoes Metal Rabbit year we just lived through in 2011, we are in for the ride of our lives. Commotion, turmoil and general hullabaloo will characterize the Dragon year ahead. As of January 23, 2012, better get ready to rock and roll — or else crawl under a rock until it’s over.
Think of the Water Dragon year as a 12-month-long, bumpy road with interludes of elaborate and joyful festivity. Fortunes will be made and lost with lightning speed. All events will be charged with a rare intensity. In short, 2012 will be a year of derring-do, hell-raising and exorbitant fun.
Dragon years are favorable for the enterprising and ambitious. If you want to succeed at something major, start early in the Dragon year. Don’t give up. Express yourself openly. Show no fear. In China, it is said that the Dragon year brings luck to those who dare to speak out, to take charge and even to take over.
Dragons are fearless and direct to a fault — but they are not without ruse. They’re clever go-getters who are always in the running for first place. They want to excel at every endeavor. Dragon years, therefore, are propitious for people who have the courage to take risks, to stand fast in the face of danger and hold firmly to their principles. For those among us who are timid and shy, who shrink in the face of challenge and who daren’t speak up for what it is they want, Dragon years can be rigorous and even a little bit frightening at times.
If you are a Fearful Freddy, you won’t need tranquilizers. The Water Dragon won’t charge into your kitchen and grab you by the throat. But the months ahead will be tumultuous, stormy and chock-full of rebellion. Dragons may be despotic, but they’re also benevolent and sentimental. In this coming Dragon year, anyone who’s hurting is going to hoot and holler until they get their fair share.”
Your astrology in the Dragon Year exclaimed: “Welcome to 2012, the year of empowerment! Fasten your seat belt because the days ahead are all about accelerated risk-taking and breaking through outmoded paradigms. To thine own self be true — no exceptions! Can you handle it? Of course you can! Just follow the guidance for your Sun sign below and discover how to make the most of all the amazing opportunities ahead. It’s all in the timing, baby!” See link for more info from this source!
I don’t know about you, but after reading about this Year of the Dragon, I’ve got my lifeline of hope all set! I’m ready to rumble (storms-a-brewin) and I’m thinking of going for it! Heck, after the grasshopper-help experience, I think forward is the only way to leap!
What about you?

Ok, I’m sticking with the horse theme ~ on the eve of Chinese New Year ~ The Year of the Wood Horse ~ so bear with me please. Because today I’m going to share the video that just makes me smile. I’m not into SuperBowl Sunday except for the snacks, the commercials and the family camaraderie as we gather in the family room to watch the big game. Dare I say, I don’t care who wins? Surely my family does, but not me. I’m just there for the enthusiasm for the event! There’s something about being home, cozy and warm, eating snacks for dinner, all of us together relaxing and enjoying the game and eachother’s company! Thanks HAngel for sending it to me ~ puppies and horses ~ what’s not to love?! What’s better besides our families?
