Sheepish

Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year. I’m excited. It’s the Year of the Sheep/Goat/Ram. That’s me (yes I calculated using the Chinese calendar). I’m gentle, softhearted, considerate, attractive, hardworking, persistent, thrifty and also indecisive, timid, vain, pessimistic, moody, weak-willed. My constellation says that I am energetic. My blood type says that I am stable and always play on the safe side. Yup, that pretty accurately sums me up even if it all did come from a google search.

I found this in Mom's albums. I have no idea where she was but I like that this is family history and not a stock photo.

This year it seems that my fortune could fluctuate in a down spiral if I’m not careful. If I stay the course, however, things will run smoothly. I should not invest, fear not Taisui (Chinese god of fortunes) I have no plans to offend you in this manner, you can rest completely assured. And I like to think that I am generally tolerant with family so those waters should be quiet.

It’s been a good start so far. I got a letter (a real letter not a scam) in the mail saying that I had won twelve bags (one a month) of Arbor Day shade grown coffee. My choice between whole bean, ground, decaf. Nice!

My dentist crowned me today. Finally a queen. Considering the wrack and ruin my teeth suffered through the years I’m very surprised they have endured this long without major work.

So sheepish me will take this positive start and upon advice proceed forward cautiously.
