CNY

Ah...Lunar New Year.
And it's raining. So unlike past years. More indications of climate change.
Notwithstanding the protests in Egypt (and eventual removal of President Hosni Mubarak), this Lunar New Year @ Rabbit year had been fun. In the last 11 days, we've had two big family meals. This year, the meals were extended to the "in-laws". Days and hours of preparation work but those efforts were paid off when everyone enjoyed the meals. However, even more important was the bonding and interactions between the older and younger generation. That's why we call it family reunion. Re-connecting those from near and far. We played a game of charade with hilarious results. Team Becca won.
Another good thing about the holidays --- an uncongested city. Majority had left to return to their hometowns. My pastor said it was such a good feeling to be able to drive from one end to another end of the city within 10 minutes. Ah.....those four days were blissful.
Gong Xi Fatt Cai.
May this new year brings prosperity and harmony to all.
