Your New Year!

Happy New Year!  Yes, 2011 has come and gone and the new year of 2012 is here.  I hope you have had a chance to reflect on what happened last year and what will happen this year.  Some things are out of your control like sickness, but many things are up to you.  What will you do this year that you wanted to but didn’t do last year?  What things will you change to make a better you?  Better nutrition and exercise help your body.  Certain hobbies and sports help your mind, and doing things together can help family togetherness. 

One thing that is significant about 2012 is that it is the year of the Dragon in the chinese zodiac.  The Dragon is seen as the most powerful of all the astrological animals.  The person born of this sign is hopeful of leading a successful, prosperous life.  But as we know here in America, luck only goes so far.  Success is achieved by hard work and perserverence – and that’s what kung fu is based on!
