goodbye monkey
february 08, 2005
it's the last night of the monkey year as we're on the cusp of the new year of the rooster. it's been one wild ride this past lunar year. even up to the last month & even yesterday, the evil monkey king was playing its tricks on me. but i'm glad today is the last day of the lunar calendar and i can begin again tomorrow - in the new year with revived hopes, dreams and a somewhat clean slate.
i was just reading something tonight about my astrological forecast for the year of the monkey. i know, i'm about 1 year too late but i really don't read this stuff in advance because it will stay in the back of my mind for the year to come. it stated something like this:
Dogs have a tendency to complicate matters in Monkey years. Years ruled by the Monkey can bring the culmination of family disturbances, accusations, and losing face.
how true. how true. i prefer to read my horoscope when the year is coming to an end so that i can see how accurate it truly was. reading it ahead of time never does me any good. but i guess i'm just glad to be closing the book on the monkey year then.
i don't even want to begin to try and recap all the bad things that happened this year as i don't want to dismiss the good that came out of it as well - along with all the lessons learned this year.
i'm ready for anything. something. anything better.
