Happy Chinese New Year 2012: Year of the Water Dragon!!

We wish our  Chinese friends and those of Chinese heritage, a Happy New Year!

 

Yesterday began the Chinese Lunar New Year of the Water Dragon!

 

For those of us who are unfamiliar with the Chinese Zodiac/calendar, the Chinese Zodiac is based on a 12-year cycle, with each cycle being represented by an animal.

 

Please see this site which explains it all.

 

According to the Chinese Culture Centre of San Francisco's website, people born in this year (1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012 ) are said to be healthy, energetic, excitable, short-tempered, and stubborn.

 

They are also honest, sensitive, brave, and they inspire confidence and trust. Dragon people are the most eccentric of any in the eastern zodiac.

 

They neither borrow money nor make flowery speeches, but they tend to be soft-hearted which sometimes gives others an advantage over them.

 

They are compatible with Rats, Snakes, Monkeys, and Roosters."

 

The special thing about Water Dragon people is that these personalities occur every 60 years. (Water Dragon people were born in 1952 and 2012).

 

They have the characteristics of Dragon people with this special distinction:

 

According to USBridalGuide.com, "Water has a calming effect on the Dragon's fearless temperament. Water allows the Dragon to re-direct its enthusiasm, and makes him more perceptive of others.

 

These Dragons are better equipped to take a step back to re-evaluate a situation because they understand the art of patience and do not desire the spotlight like other Dragons.

 

Therefore, they make smart decisions and are able to see eye-to-eye with other people. However, their actions can go wrong if they do not research or if they do not finish one project before starting another".

 

To get a better understanding of (Water) Dragon people you may visit site UsBridalGuide.com .

 

Do you know any Dragon people? (People who were born in the the year of the Dragon)

 

Do you agree with the characteristics given above? :)

Happy New Year From Girl With a Purpose (GWAP) Blog!!!

Happy New Year to all Girl With a Purpose (GWAP) Blog friends, advertisers and advertising partners!!

 

Thank you for your steady and continued support!

 

Well, we couldn't start the New Year without some words of encouragement...

 

...So, here goes:

 

2011 was rough for most.

 

But 2012 is a New Year with very new possibilities.

 

Life is filled with challenges, but it's how we approach our challenges that determine whether or not we'll be successful.

 

When life's circumstances throw us a curve ball, we decide whether or not to stay flat on the ground, or to get up, walk and move on.

 

May we be people who get up, walk and move on.

 

May we cultivate friendships and relationships with like-minded people who will be marrow to our bones and not bone-breakers.

 

(People who are builders and not bulldozers in our lives...please see our note re "building", below).

 

May we learn from our mistakes.

 

May we be spiritually-centred, by have a willingness to listen to God in all our endeavours.

 

For truly He has promised to direct us if we listen to and obey Him/His word.

 

May we seek to the benefit of others (may we seek to build up others and not tear them down).

 

For it's in building that we receive the greatest blessings - that of positively contributing to someone else's life.

 

May our homes and communities be better, for us being in them.

 

It is our wish that your New Year will be one of new beginnings, rediscovered talents and skills; spiritual, personal and professional development  and progress.

 

Happy New Year from us at Girl With a Purpose (GWAP) Blog!
