Happy Lunar New Year

I had every intension of posting this on Friday, which was January 31 & the commencement of the Chinese New Year. As you probably already know, this year is the year of the horse.


In fact it is the year of the wooden horse. I read a little about what all of this means & what to expect from the year of the wooden horse hereOne of the things that caught my eye was that education & intellectual growth, is associated with the wood element. So this year is a good year to take a class or learn a new skill.


As it turns out I learned only yesterday that the beautiful College Of Charleston offers a special admissions program for senior citizens. Students over 60 years of age can take courses for free with only the cost of $25 for registration plus the price of books. What a wonderful opportunity! I am thinking that perhaps some further education might be in my future this year.


Wishing all of you a Happy Year of the Horse! May you find happiness in the pursuit of learning & person growth!

  1. That sounds like a great idea. Take a class that you never would have taken before. Hmm. Maybe people will want to read more books too. Happy Lunar New Year. And Happy Groundhog Day.

  3. What a splendid idea and service for the college to do. I'm quite sure our university doesn't do that but I may have to check into the community college. Happy New Year to you -- may it be filled with learning and joy.
