Today is Chinese New Year day, the year of Mouse.
In Chinese, the word mouse sounds the same as “count”. We wish people “countless blessings,”, “countless wealth” “countless happiness”, “countless smile …..
This year is my birth year, So this old mouse wishes you “countless blessings,”, “countless wealth” “countless happiness”, “countless smile”
Most of all, GOOD HEALTH!
Hi, Myra! Yes, here’s to good health!
How do you determine that it is your year?

For Chinese, we have 12 Zodiacs just as the 12 constellations in western culture. It starts with the mouse(rat), then, cow (ox), tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, ram, monkey, rooster, dog, pig. I was born in 1936, the year of the rat! 2020 is the year of the mouse(rat)!
This is my 7th rat year! the 8th one is waiting outside the window!

I didn’t know you had a year of the mouse!🐭 I usually think of dragons and snakes and such like😀 Year of the mouse is lovely! Maybe that is why the very badly behaved mouse has returned to my house – it’s been gone since new year…it came back last night and started eating the carpet again! 🤯 I was wondering why – it must feel entitled as this is year of the mouse! 🐁😉
