Year of the Rat


Year of the Rat, originally uploaded by kkathy.

Happy Chinese New Year Everyone!!! I embellished my Orchid today in honor of the Year of the Rat. The Chinese year is 4706.

Legend has it that in ancient times, Buddha asked all the animals to meet him on Chinese New Year. Twelve came, and Buddha named a year after each one. He announced that the people born in each animal's year would have some of that animal's personality. Those born in Rat years tend to be leaders, pioneers, and conquerors. They are charming, passionate, charismatic, practical and hardworking.

May this year bring you Peace, Good Health, Happiness and Prosperity!!
