These last few
months have obviously been very difficult for me and my family. I was diagnosed in October so Halloween,
Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year were all celebrated but not with the same
amount of energy and enthusiasm as normal.
Now that things are supposed to be getting easier and I have been having
some better days, I have the energy to do more than I did October –
December. I was putting visual icons of
the 2013 holidays on the kids’ calendar and came across the upcoming Chinese New Year (it begins Feb. 10th) and in the moment decided we were
going to celebrate it this year and we are going all out! We have made dragons and signs. This is the year of the snake, so the kids
have made some snakes to decorate the house.
I’m also planning a trip to Party City for more party supplies and
decorations and we will enjoy a Chinese dinner. This is going to be the
best Chinese New Year ever!
Looking
on the Bright Side… I might not have been able to give them the best Christmas
they’ve ever had, but this is going to be a Chinese New Year they will never
forget!
