An unexpected Valentine

Today I received an unexpected valentine in the mail. It was from a Little girl named Josie. She is 3 , and was adopted from china. Her Mom was My Secret Buddy . Her Mom and Dad are in the adoption process, so they can give her a little sister. They are logged in the same month as us.
The back of the dragon said: Tammy, This Chinese New Years Dragon is coming your way to wish you Happy Valentines Day! Love Josie

Thank You So Much Josie

Gung Hay Fat Choy!

The Lunar New Year dates from 2600 BC, when the Emperor Huang Ti introduced the first cycle of the Chinese zodiac.

Because of cyclical lunar dating, the first day of the year can fall anywhere between late January and the middle of February. On the Chinese calendar, 2008 is Lunar Year 4705-4706.
On the Western calendar, the start of the New Year falls on February 7, 2008 — The Year of the Rat. If you were born in 1912, 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996 - you were born under the sign of the rat.

Like the rat, you are always busily pursuing a personal goal or ambition, and are thus known as one of the hardest-working signs in the Chinese zodiac. For rats in 2008, any recent setbacks or obstacles can be overcome, so look forward to a year in which to really shine, either personally or professionally.
