Chinese New Year is one of the most celebrated Chinese festivals among Chinese community worldwide. During the weekend right after the Chinese New Year there was always a Lion Dance troop will be coming to different community in Singapore to perform the lion dance to certain communities.

One fascinating thing they do every year here in Singapore, is that they will use the orange slides to make up a Chinese character of phrase which symbolizing the best wishes or good luck or blessing for the new year.

The Chinese character was presented here is pronounced "Fa" which means prosperity in English and wishing people have a good fortune in the new coming year.

One dog was there by proxy, in a picture.

An Ancient Birthday Blessing of Wisdom, Patience, and Hope --

May the Lord show you the greatness of his goodness, that you overflow with thanks every day. May the Lord bless you abundantly with rest for the heart, power for virtue, wisdom for life, and patience in suffering. May the Lord bless you with joyful hope, and one day with the inexpressible joys of eternal life.

If you have the #blessing to make a difference, you don't complain about the #effort. -Brendon Burchard

Australia has been in drought for some time with severe water restrictions in place. While a great portion of Australia is now under water due to the floods, the rain has meant that my kids can enjoy playing with a hose or sprinkler and have the kind of fun we all used to have as children.

So to me, water after a LONG dry spell and the chance for my children to enjoy spraying themselves in the face with a hose is a blessing indeed.
