As part of the Chinese New Year's celebration the Lan Su Chinese Gardens in Portland, Oregon
hangs red lanterns throughout the gardens.
On a particularly sunshiny day this week I walked through the gardens.
The red lanterns enchant me and delight me.
Checking with Wikipedia I was curious what the lanterns represented.
"The lanterns can symbolize the people letting go of their past selves and getting a new one,
which they will let go of the next year."
Do you face each new year with a letting go of the old and starting with a new you?
Is this why we so often have resolutions at new years?
If you make resolutions, are you still sticking to them?
Wishing you all a Happy Chinese New Year this month of celebrating.
