"Ox People"



Happy Chinese New Year.  This week marks the beginning of the year of the Ox and many say it is a fitting animal to describe the current times.  Ox-like qualities like strength, endurance and patience are all qualities that can help the world out right now.

I found this excerpt describing "Ox people":

"They're quite dependable and possess an innate ability to achieve great things.  As one might guess, such people are dependable, calm and modest.  Like their animal namesake, the Ox is unswervingly patient, tireless in their work, and capable of enduring any amount of hardship without complaint.  Ox people, according to tradition, need peace and quiet to work through their ideas, and when they have set their mind on something it is hard for them to be convinced otherwise.  An Ox person has a very logical mind and is extremely systematic in whatever they do, though they have a tremendous imagination and an unparalleled appreciation for beauty.  These people speak little but are extremely intelligent.  When necessary, they are articulate and eloquent."

Catherine! Hey!

I randomly found your blog and thought I'd drop a note. There wasn't much of a chance to talk when I saw you last, but it was a surprise to see you there. Congrats and hope all is going well. Joanna and I are hoping to end out in LA within the next year or so, so it would be nice to have some friends out there.
