Strutting In The New Year

----------------------------------------------------------
Year Of The Rooster

Each morning, the rooster announces the arrival of a new day with a wake up call for all the world to hear. With unabashed confidence, he knows that the day begins with him. This year begins with the rooster as well. For in accordance to the Lunar calendar, it is 4705, The Year Of The Rooster.

The year of the rooster emphasizes hard work, resourcefulness, and courage. The rooster rules the roost with a straight forward, no nonsense approach to life. It's a huge responsibility to wake up the world and govern over the hen house. This is a year of practicality, a time to get down to business. And the rooster does it all with a sense of style, for he is a proud, stunning creature with a tendency to strut his stuff.

In the spirit of the rooster, this is a good year to become self-reliant, get organized, and stay focused. We would do well to take an honest look at ourselves and what we want out of life and then to go after our dreams with the confidence and aggressiveness of a rooster.

The rooster goes directly for the truth, scratching below the surface. While it is good to be open and frank, brutal honesty can be hurtful. It's important to avoid being too blunt with careless clucking and be careful with the claws.

Like the rooster, we may find ourselves preening and strutting at times. We may be taking a few more peeks in the mirror this year. It's good to give into vanity now and then, as a reminder to take pride in our appearance and how the world views us. It's also a time to enjoy popularity, even adoration, just like the rooster enjoys being appreciated by the hens in chicken coop. At the same time, with the rooster's tendency towards pride and conceit, we need to be mindful of keeping the ego in check.

The rooster likes to stay close to the roost. He is loyal to his hens and does not wander far from home. He is also a stickler for order and rules. This year we may find a new appreciation and respect for the home, family, and loved ones.
