Today is Bubble Bath Day. Nope. I kid not.
Personally, I love bubble baths. Do you?

Throwback Thursday
Remember the Andre commercials?… Me and my sister reminisced and joked about the Andre commercials this year, remembering them fondly, of course. “Andre for the holidays.” It stuck with us.
Wordless Wednesday
A Future Haiku
A FUTURE HAIKU
Looking back no more
Up ahead there is a star
Leading me afar

Morning Haiku and Waka – A Winter kikôbun – January 1, 2015
Snow lies everywhere today. The world is silent and elegant in its white cloak of fresh fallen snow. Not so long ago, the fields were green with new leaves and the first blossoms of the fruit trees colored the land with dainty paper-like ornaments. In a very short time, the trees hung heavily with fruit which we picked joyfully giving thanks to Mother Nature. Then the leaves turned orange, brown and red to finally fall on the ground leaving stark bare skeletons to dance in the wind.
Walking through these fields throughout the year, here in this northern province of Italy is a year-long joy. Each day has its own flavor and its own joy and is a font of reflection
the snow falls
even on New Year’s day
in Trentino

2015 Year of the Goat
YEAR OF THE GOAT
We are STILL in the Year of the Horse until mid February. But here is the info for the next animal in line.
Copied from: http://www.sunsigns.org/chinese-zodiac-2015/
(Visit the above link to read your Chinese horoscope for the year of the Goat.)
“The 2015 Chinese Zodiac Year will begin from February 19, 2015 to February 7, 2016. The 2015 Chinese astrology forecasts show that this year will be influential and fruitful for the 12 zodiac signs, especially the Sheep sign. Being a number “8” year, 2015 will prove to be beneficial in both personal and professional arenas.
The 2015 Chinese Zodiac Horoscope will provide you a deep insight and give you quick answers which are free and very accurate. This will act as a guide in helping you make the right decisions in the coming year.
The Sheep is a symbol of peace, balance, harmony and calmness. This is reflected in the Year of the Goat 2015, which is under the Yin influence of the element Wood. You need to use your mind more than being physically active to solve any problem that might arise this year.”
Again, to read the article more fully and to check out your Chinese sign’s horoscope, follow the link I posted above. I am a Rooster:
“The Chinese horoscope 2015 foretells that the only way for the roosters to be successful in the Year of the Green Wood Sheep is to be focused. You need to have clear objectives in mind if you wish to reach your goals. Your confidence and tact will come to your aid.
You are a Metal Rooster if you were born in 1921 or 1981. Water Rooster if your birth year is 1933 or 1993. If you born in 1945, then you are Wood Roosters. Fire Rooster if you were born 1957 and Earth Rooster if born in 1969.”
I was born in 1969 and therefore I am an Earth Rooster. I did not realize that there were divisions as such in the Chinese Zodiac. However, for those of you not skilled in the usual zodiac signs (i.e. Taurus, Cancer, etc.) there are also divisions like this in those signs according to what time during that sign you were born. The first third, second third or final third of your sign. You might like to check into all of these things if you have interest. It’s fun.
There’s a link under each sign on this site for more info on your Chinese horoscope for 2015. I urge you to check it out.
Thanks for reading.
Happy New Year – 2015!
I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A FANTASTIC NEW YEAR, AND THAT YOU ARE AS PRODUCTIVE AS YOU WISH TO BE IN 2015!
