Sunday Thoughts

Today is Chinese new year, the year of the black water dragon. If predictions are to come true, then this would be one extremely lucky year for me in most aspects. "Be very ambitious," my horoscope says. So I would dream big. Not just biog but huge, gargantuan in proportions LOL. Pragmatism is not a question were huge ambitions are concerned. So i'll let myself just dream away:

• be an excellent and widely recognized author and editor;
  
• become a recognized painter and fantasy artist;
  
• lose 50 lbs. by September and whittle my body proportions to a dazzling 38-27-36;
  
• earn more than 20,000 on my writing monthly; 
  
• publish a book and successfully market the comics story I am currently working on;
  
• save more than 50,000 by the end of the year;
  
• have my  erstwhile brooding online beau come here and fall madly in love with me that we end up getting married before the year ends; 
• success for my brother's business and my career as a writer, teacher, and artist; 
  
• great wealth and good health for my parents and entire family; and
• be the most beautiful woman i can be.

I believe this is indeed my luckiest year ever. There is no way we can substantiate gut feeling, right? But more often than not when it speaks, its words always ring true. My sweety(I know sweety should be spelled sweetie, but i intentionally replaced -ie with -y.) is having trouble with his moods as of this writing. I think he has not yet thawed from his depression. Winter, after all, is not yet over. So the winter blues is still affecting his system. He would snap out of it eventually. Winter depression is seasonal. The gloominess vanishes with the melting of the snow. If he were here with me, i don't think the winter blues could affect him at all. A change of place, especially somewhere were no snow can be found, works wonders to uplift the spirits of someone with this disorder. And with me providing so much warmth and jovial, loving company, sadness would not have a place in his mind. Oh, well, i might as well resume my reading and then take a nap. By tonight i would get down to making the outline and draft for my part of the book i am co-authoring.
