Year of the Dragon


Dear Caroline,

Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year! Thomas and I decided to celebrate, in small steps, Chinese culture. We decided the first step would be to celebrate Chinese New Year!

We did our research and decided that we would make red fish and white rice with shredded green beans (how that is traditional is beyond me?). And that is one more of my New Year’s Resolutions accomplished.

We decided that we needed to begin to understand Chinese culture because, let’s face it, we have no true ethnic identity. We’re “European” and that is about it. I think it is important to retain your culture and embrace it.

There are just so many things I hope you can keep.

Wish #37: I wish you a Happy Year of the Dragon!

Love always
