I love when you connect, when you make a connection between seemingly unrelated things. Like this: two horned friends in a watermelon boat, and the Chinese New Year. Huh? I'm not sure what came first in my mind. I was taking a photo of this lovely gift from Lisa, and I think that's when it all came together. I thought of these guys as two buddies, sisters or friends, riding along in their little watermelon boat. Keeping each other company on their voyage to who knows where, maybe China?
You know that Lisa sent me this gorgeous and meaningful deer friend earlier, so I was drawn to the deer and didn't really notice the ox. It clicked that tomorrow begins the Chinese New Year, the year of the Ox. And then I made the connection - ox equals OX, as in Hugs and Kisses. Right? So how cool is it to have the deer, a loving sign from my sister, riding tandem with Hugs and Kisses? Very cool.
Another connection: the other night my fortune cookie told me "Spirit guides accompany you" and the back was the Chinese word for "watermelon". I know, hcit! My favorite Ugly Doll, found earlier this year:
Make this connection: The Year of the Ox, can be the year of OX.
