Tomorrow is already New Year’s Eve. It’s amazing how the year just went by so fast. A brand new year awaits us very soon. I hope that 2010 will be a favorable year for many of us. Year 2009 had its share of ups and downs. I’m hopeful that we can surpass the negative things of 2009. I hope that 2010 will usher in more jobs and better economy.
In just a few hours, we will usher in the Lunar New Year. It is the year of the Year of the Ox which they say “symbolizes strength gathers through unity, harmony, obedience, courage and hard slog.” I also happen to be born on the Year of the Ox.
Wishing everyone a healthy and prosperous New Year!
“Year’s end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.” ~Hal Borland
Hope everyone had a memorable Christmas and New year celebration.
I’m grateful for all the blessings in 2008 and I look forward to a wonderful 2009.
My family and I would like to wish you a promising New Year. May you have best of health, success, and happiness this 2009. God bless.
When Chinese New Year is near, I see a lot of good luck charms being sold at the market. Colorful trinkets, crystals, images of auspicious figures and other good luck charms become highly sought after.
An example of a good luck charm is the wealth bowl. We bought one in time for last year’s Chinese New Year. The Chinese believe that the wealth bowl attracts good luck and wealth to the home. We put 8 coins, grains of rice, chocolates and garlic inside. The coins and grains of rice symbolize prosperity, chocolates symbolize sweet and harmonious relationship while garlic is believed to drive away bad spirits and negative energies. We continued to prepare awealth bowl for the Year of Rat.
I find nothing wrong in buying good luck charms as long as you don’t forget that blessings also come through honest and healthy living. Never rely on good luck alone. Put God first, work hard, be honest and kind to others. Remember that what you reap is what you sow.
Kung Hei Fat Choi!
The year of the Earth Rat started last February 7, 2008 and will end on January 25, 2009.
According to Feng Shui experts, the Year of the Earth Rat is predicted to be an exciting year full of new beginnings and accomplishments as the elements of Earth and Water come together.
I wish everyone a promising and prosperous New Year.
