THE YEAR OF THE RAT

So I was telling a friend about the awful time we've had at my house with sickness this year, and she said, "we've entered the dreaded Year of the Rat." Dreaded, I'm thinking?

I figure you can look at rats two ways, and probably more. They can be nasty little critters, but aren't they also amazingly resilient survivors?

On a day like today when I am so ready to kick this flu out of my life FOR GOOD, I am going with the survivor argument. Thanks to those of you who have been so kind as to check up on me. It helps so much.

“Life is hard. After all, it kills you.”

  1. Glad to hear that you are feeling better!! I loved the quote you have on this post...it gave me a chuckle.

    I don't have any ghost stories from this trip. I need to look at my pictures to see if I have any pictures, but I don't think so. It was very quiet this year!!

  3. Irene,

    We went to Palm Springs for the weekend for a cheer competition that my 18 year old was in. Lots of fun, but very tiring!

    Hugs,
