year of the rat

'07 was a year of huge uncertainty for me. Where would I work, where would I live, who would I hang out with when old friends left? I'm grateful for the resolution those questions have come to. While I feel I'm entering 2008 on more solid ground with work, the rest of life is still uncertain. I'm sure I'll once again at least search for housing.

My favorite Thai restaurant kindly gifted me with a New Year's Chinese zodiac calendar. This is the year of the rat. That makes me suspicious. I have a feeling that in the year of the rat, all bets are off. Expect surprises ahead!

I do know that if you are a "rat" during the year of the rat.. it's not going to be a good year. I'm a Boar!

Good news. I'm a dragon!

Technically speaking the year of the rat won't start until February 7, Chinese lunar new year.

Anyway since the Chinese believe 8 is a lucky number, 2008 would be a good year for many who think so. Me included ;-)

I'm a hopeless optimist (Is that contradictory?)
