the new year

the new year is coming soon. it will be the year of the water dragon. i, being born on the year of the rooster, am supposed to have a lucky 2012. i do not know what to make of that. i do not know if i am supposed to expect much because i have never considered myself a lucky person.

i am also surprised at people who say 2011 was an unlucky year for them. for me, life always has its ups and downs. i have always been practical and realistic. it would be expecting too much from the fates if life was always happy and great. there has to be a balance, there is good and bad. despite my being practical, i am a "glass is half-full" person. of course, i am looking forward to a lucky and prosperous year ahead. who isn't. but i believe it helps to accept reality. life is a bed roses-that is, roses have thorns!

nevertheless, i am looking forward to the year ahead. may all of us be blessed and have good health always!
