As it’s the Chinese New Year and the start of the Year of the Horse,
Some wisdom from the horse’s mouth seems appropriate.
I moustache you to embrace the year with open arms;
To remember that even if life seems to be going backwards,
We can try to deal with problems with grace.
Life has its moments of beauty —
And of tenderness and love.
A big dose of laughter will stop neigh-sayers in their tracks
And make life better —
Because it’s all about falling and then having the courage
To saddle up and ride again.

Lol, love those guys. Just want to mush their cute little faces. What do you think? The year of the horse is supposed to be a fast paced one. Apparently we’re supposed to jump at chances and forge our way ahead with ideas to have them succeed. Are you in? I’m not sure but I’ll give it a try. Oh, also, a Vietnamese friend of mine told me that last year a ton of her friends got married because the year of the horse is the optimum year to have a baby. Well, I don’t know about that one…lol. Hope your week is shaping up nicely Fiona. 🙂
