Embracing loved ones
Around gold and red
Like leaves of autumn
Surrounding us as we gather
To ring in
And sweep out
Anew, afresh
Fortune for all
Prosperity for everyone
Smiles abound
Clean mouths for once
Dragons dance
Envelopes scatter
Distributed into hands
It’s the year of you
The year of yours
Happy Chinese New Year! Wishing you happiness and prosperity in 2017.

It will be the year of the rooster. But right now it’s still the monkey. 😛

Oh, that’s me! I think I’m a rooster… 1993? I can’t remember.
Why is it still the monkey? I thought it was the new year, lol.

Oh yeah I think you are a rooster.
Haha, today isn’t over yet. So we still have a few more hours of the monkey to go.

Oh, that makes sense, lol.
Yay! At the New Year I said this was going to be my year for writing and finally get my writing career off the ground. So, I’m going to take this as a good sign that this will indeed be the year of me. 🙂
